What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Finally got around to installing this. Definitely the way it should have came from the factory considering it’s literally the only thing that requires the key.

After 4 weeks of waiting look what showed up the front door, looks like I got work to do this weekend...

 

This set up carries my 27 foot or 18 ft canoes! Only thing is you can’t drop the tailgate.

 

Nice, they’re a bitch to install though. Like the proverbial stuffing 10lbs into a 5lb sock! They do look factory once you’re done.

 

.65 cents! That will give me 30 mins for the parking meters here in LA.

 

I sold mine on craigslist for $120. Only had 10k miles. Took a while to sell it.

 

Picked up hitch rack today and installed it. Waiting for the weather to be a little cooler in the morning to take the dogs mushing.

 

I’ve had to hold off on installing certain mods until I found a pnp solution. But it’s worked out so far… Had my cap on for 6 months w/ the 3rd brake not installed until Meso’s total tail s2 came out and I tapped into that instead. I probably won’t be able to keep up with it forever but it’s my 1st new so as long as I can I will. It’s hard to find and source m/f connectors (or I’m just not searching with the correct terminology)

Unfortunately I can’t say it’s a virgin to cutting/splicing though. The dealer or port installed the 2n1 led fog/drl upgrade and when I replaced them they had 2 vampire clamps that severed several strands each. I put liquid tape over for now until I can repair them.

 

I’ll be practicing on the headrest tonight, will see what I’m up against this weekend ahead.

 

The headrest is easiest with it in the seats. Also, some say it’s easiest with the seats out, but I thought it was easier leaving the seats in because you’ll need leverage. Careful not to tear the fabric holding the strings on.

 

Yeah I had it for sale for a while but no bites. Needed to clean out the garage

 

Awesome!

 

Went and got a SnugTop Rebel and I’m loving it

 

Sweet! Digging the quarter panel decals too! Looks awesome!

 

Which bedliner did you use? How many coats?

 

Morimoto xb led fogs to match my morimoto led low beams. I love the cut off these give! Seriously need to paint my head lights now.

 

Front bumper is on, Still gotta finish the lights.

 

Damn, I have several of these, magnetic right? I didn't even think of this, thanks!

 

Did you paint it? About to paint mine but unsure of which primer will fully stick to the stock coating before adding bed spray.

 

yeah, just spray canned it with some rustolem. not too worried if it comes off, as i can just re-paint.
