What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Custom build from a local shop, really need to get some fog mounts welded on!

 

It looks awesome! Always loved the pre-runner bumpers with the raw plate in the middle.

 

Installed the jackrabbit retractable hard bed cover. Did not disappoint.

 

Or wheel chocks!!! What's up with the lack of safety 1st???

 

Please someone tell me that's a set up.....

 

as long as im not helping he can chock the wheel with a bag of marshmallows. Isnt that what go fund me is for? 95% bad decisions and 5% terminal illnesses

 

You are not alone...

 

Can anyone tell me what type of plugs/connector they use on the Cali Raised LED Ditch lights? I haven't installed mine yet and a friend dropped one of the lights and broke the connector so I need to order a replacement before I can install...

Thanks in advance!

Chad

 

Still good...

 

Yes! I'm rubbing on the inner fender toward the cab. I haven't done any trimming yet because of lack of time and bad weather the last few days. The rubbing only happens when going in reverse+turning. With the setup the worst rubbing happens on the fender. There is a slight rubbing that occurs on the cab mount when on an incline and also either going in reverse and turning. You also get slight rub going up a high incline (like going into a shopping center, although i mean a high inline) and doing a sharp turn at speed(>20mph).

For most driving you should be fine, with exception of doing reverse parking. Like I said earlier it will rub on the inner fender.

Essentially to break down what i have gone with

I did a 2" lift
Bilstein b8 6112 on 5th/6th notch (passenger/driver)
SPC UCA

Level 8 MK6 17x9 ET -12
BFG KO2 285/70r17 C Rated(lighter than the E Rated)

I will be installing on labor day weekend.

for the rear
Headstrong 3 leaf AAL
Bilstein 5160

Overall I was going for a 2/2 lift so to keep the factory rake. I will post when I finish the lift as well as all the "adjustment" to get rid of all the rubbing.

 

Colorfilled (with white paint) the recessed letters on one spoke of each Fuel wheel.

Why...? because I was bored. And kinda like that look on the Volk Racing wheels.

 

Sounds like a solid plan! Nice setup!
I like the factory rake also.

 

Thank you! I was really stoked with how our build turned out. I'd love to see the options for winch mounting as well because the clearance and approach angle with this has been incredible.

 

That looks sweet with your white truck! Nice wheels btw, I didn’t ever think I’d see someone else with them, I’ve got the same set!

 

Yep, I knew that, but thanks for clarifying! I was just trying to say yours look nice AND they are a few hundred bucks cheaper than sliders.

I’ll have to take a look at Tyger. I don’t need sliders, I just prefer their look, but I would like something to prevent door dings and possibly some help up for the Mrs now that I lifted mine 2”.

 

Swaped in Katzkin leather on the rears today, fronts and heaters tomorrow

 

Wish these came in white.

 

Looks awesome. Dumb question, can it support your weight i.e. stand on it? I ask because my coworker (although a Chevy Avalanche) hard cover is strong enough to stand on.

 

Beautiful. Been looking into getting these

I got mine in white but not from Amazon.

 

Put a new grill on her today
