What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Not what I did today... or at least not yet.
I bought some of this Techron complete fuel system cleaner. Never tried it but the dealership wanted almost $500 to clean. So what do you guys think. Stuff any good?

 

I'm originally from Chicago, so I'm very familiar with salt and what it does to car bodies. I've been living in Dallas/Fort Worth for 30+ years so I kinda forget the salt issues up north. Just the other day I commented to my wife how all the vehicles here look so clean.

 

New basket on my truck. I added a Yakima OffGrid Medium size rack to the top of my CBI racks. Quail/Duck season starts next Saturday. I now have room for dog crate(s) below and hunting gear above.

 

@MESO BD4 NMO. Easy install!

 

I've used it many years in my cars, trucks and motorcycles, mostly as a preventative measure.
Heard a lot of good things about it but I have no scientific proof other than that I've never had a fuel system related problem.
It's cheap insurance relatively...IMO.

 

Did some exploring in the desert. Debating getting a roof rack next.

 

@tandemgeek very good advice. Thanks for getting into details about your experience with sounds deadening and showing us the pictures of how you laid out the material. I’m planning on insulating the cab in the near future and will probably reopen the tailgate to line it with left over materials.

A few open questions to the group:

Is there a way to get ARE remote locks beside the dealer? cost? Install?

Sound deadening; Aside from the audio benefits, have you noticed better climate retention? Any other side benefits? Detriments?

somewhat unrelated, but related in the sense of taking the interior apart so I might as well squeeze in side projects;
Is anyone using the Beat Sonic RCA input adapter? I’m wanting to install an SNES mini if this thing works, otherwise I might consider some raspberry Pi solution.

Thanks in advance

 

TF is that?

 

Got the " SHELF " about done. Need to install lights down below. I'm old, I'm a hook and slide kind of guy.

 

Cleaned up the Hi-Lift option for my rails on my Decked system. I didn't want to drill holes into the Decked unit which would cause leaks (I know it is under a canopy... I am in a very wet climate and wet gear is thrown in the back all of the time.) I wanted to get my Hi-Lift out of the drawer along with shovel, axe, baseplate, and UniJack.

Solid as a rock, super happy with how everything turned out. I had to cut a notch into the baseplate a little bit in order to fit around the cleat in the bed. I also used the Dominion Off Road Hi-Lift shovel and axe mount.

Now I just need to figure out a way to get my maxtrax onto this pile of recovery.

 

Don't forget to put that little vinyl sticker over the lock! Keeps the dirt out so not to plug it up!

 

Egr flares good sir...they install super easy right over your factory flares no damage

 

Do these also have the amber lights in them that indicate when your close to something on either side of the truck

 

Not sure but did you notice that sweet white taco in the background telling you what to replace it with if it is totaled

 

Alright guys, need some help. Recently got a new steel bumper after I was rear ended As far as wiring the new license plate lights that came with the bumper i'm running into some issues. The old license plate lights have a connector and that plugs into the wiring inside the bumper. With the new license plate lights there's no connector and i'm just left with one red wire and one black wire. But where i'm confused is one end of wires inside of the bumper is white/green and the other end is blue/white? Which should the black/red connect to? I cut the wiring on the inside of the bumper on one end and tried using bullet connectors to connect them and neither way works no matter which way I connect. This is nothing like wiring in a house so i'm stuck lol. Here's some pics to get a better idea of what's i'm dealing with. Thanks for any help.

 

So the red and black are from the truck harness? Can you check to make sure power is getting to them?

 

WOW,
That's a pretty clean Desert!

 

Please please link me and or give directions on how to do this
