What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Did you do the lift yourself? It looks great man. I have asked around on the Alabama thread and they all suggested the same exact lift you have so this just confirms my decision.

 

Here’s some, I barely fit the compressor in the bed storage with the Expedition Essentials mount. The 2 gallon air tank under the front of the bed passengers side above the muffler, just fit. This was a long project, had to really plan it out. It’s awesome it all worked, did everything myself.

Also did you have to regear? I see a lot of people talking about that on here after they put a lift and new tires on. Sorry for all the questions!

 

Uncle I use to work for, his ashes are scattered out there. He was the dad I always wished I would of had. Really miss him.

The bottom one looks the best. IMO.

 

Added 4XInnovations bed bars, painted them myself. Very happy with them!

Also, I managed to post these in the right thread this time!

 

Your truck bed looks like a playground.

 

Haha, I can really see it, now that you mention it.

What can I say, I’m easily amused by bright colors.

 

You likely won't need to regear unless you plan on going 33+ [255/85r16, 285/75r16, etc], and even then it is not "mandatory". I am on 5.29s with 35s and armor and happy, but if you aren't very heavy and on lighter 33s or smaller, you could probably get away with not gearing yet/ever.

 

That is next on my to do list get rid of the chrome but I have to take a Vacation in San Diego by the Beach first......Rumor has it they got too much beer out there too close to the expiration date thought I help out a little.

Has anybody taking the Swift Boat tour yet ??

 

Oh... getting ready to put in an order for the RMAS... Anyone know if there's a TW discount? (never hurts to ask)

 

NO KIDDING!!!

 

Note to self: Never, EVER, post a photo here of your truck ANYWHERE NEAR your garage. Seriously.

 

Went off road during lunch....

 

Dammit man!!

 

Just look for some cool Urban Graffiti in your Hood works all the time.

 

My cousin has a garage, so he and I put it on. Fairly straightforward stuff especially with the strut assembly already done. I went and got an alignment done right after as well.

@BEAR_KNIFE_FIGHT already answered this but I would agree, and say majority of people don’t need to regear. If you go big on tires (I think he said like 33”) and you have armor on or a rack and RTT (roof top tent) then regearing can majorly help. For what I have and with no extra weight on don’t plan on regearing.

 

I still need to finish gluing the back and screw it back on but it’s almost done. O-that’s right,3 more. All leather with a 1/4 inch of padding.

 

My last day working out here so we’re back on the beach!
