What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed new +4” brake lines and Bilstien B110 shocks from @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc, awesome customer service and fast shipping!! Gained 2” of static droop at the wheel. I will be flexing it out tomorrow to see what kind of lateral flex gains I got.

 

Man, I wish I lived near one of those online dealers so I could ofpicked thisup yesterday with the 40%

 

Super flex!

 

Yeah I had to drive an hour and a half one way but definitely worth it with the price.

 

Congrats and good luck! Once I make them I’ll probably do a post on here. I’ll definitely be making a few if you want one.

 

The first that popped up for me was 5 hrs 1 way. I tried calling my local dealer to just see but parts never answered and I had to get back to work

 

Agree 100% with Mr. Bob. Only add would be to make sure you have a solid rivet gun-not an $8.00 Harbor Freight job. Get the $18.00 gun and be done with it.

 

In my case or if you decide to use an air riveter… also put painters tape along the bracket to the edge of hood. 1st rivet got squiggly on me after and well, now I have a squiggly line down to the primer



My screw up is underneath the tape. As soon as it happened I did this for the remainder

Thanks for the tips man.

 

She's a keeper Ron, looks great!

 

It looks great I see you also got a haircut at the same time.

 

Installed my Gashole ( but forgot to take a photo ) but then used my SR to get a new 12’ ladder at Home Depot.

 

Actually the air gun was a breeze. It’s just the stem held the gun I place and when it snipped the stem the momentum ofme holding the gun squirmed on me. Your right though lol, it opened up my eyes real quick

 

Thanks Mike! Couldn’t be happier with her!

 

DIY Vinyl wrap hood scoop. Matt black.

 

Haha, I am actually not sure what that even is.... it was there when I backed in the shop today. It’s like plastic sheathing.

 

After seeing Meso’s puddle light thread, I knew I wanted some and I plan on attempting to buy some when they drop. But in the meantime, I had a day off today, so I ran my wires from the bottom of the mirror, through the door and then down below the dash. This took forever, but I made it look like stock. Tie wrapped and hid everything. Then I tapped into the harness for the cargo light (blue and yellow wire) in the driver’s side A pillar. Then I mounted some LED eagle eye lights- one under each mirror. They come on when I unlock the doors and when I approach the vehicle. If you turn on the cargo light while sitting in the vehicle, they do not light up. So I definitely tapped the right wires.
Didn’t cost me anything since I already had the wire, taps, solder, and extra lights. They are surprisingly bright for little lights!
I had all the lights off in the garage when I took these pics.






Hopefully I can buy some of Meso’s lights to replace these, but I won’t need a wiring harness.

 

Finally got my truck back from the body shop. An hour after bringing it home I had the PRO grill and tonneau cover on. Added the PRO shifter as well, just no pics. Love the feel of the shifter with the manual. Next is fog lights..... Rigid PRO or Bajas..?

 

Theres only a few of us with puddles on a 3rd gen that I know of. Nice job.
