What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I got the set for 800 with tires. They were powdered.

 

Decals from tacovinyl

 

Sorry If you already answered this - Any lose in mpg's. I'm digging the idea of sticking to the 265's. Truck looks amazing btw!

 

Yes , from the body line under the windows down in mat black.

 

I like my shiny paint, there for the wrap to protect it as I run through the brush.

 

Thank you to all that have served!

 

You got it done by someone else or you did it yourself? If someone else, where? I'm also in Northern Illinois (unfortunately)

 

Had it done by Centerline Auto in Bensenville (funky little place). It was only shop I could find within 30 miles that would do it. Looks like it's working and does seem to last the year (still slimy down there when I had springs replaced a few weeks ago). Next year I may do it myself, though.

On the bright side, we've had a pretty mild January here so far. [shrug]

 

I personally haven't seen one, but they are utilizing the bed railing system so if there is no interference with that then you are perfect.

 

To all Vets(US, Canada and our allies around the world) from a Canuck.

 

Installed my Truxedo Truxport. After laying the rails on top of my KB-Voodoo brackets, I didnt like the gap it created between the rails and the top of my bed sides. So I first laid down 1/4" adhesive weather stripping to fill those gaps, and installed the cover rails on top - worked like a charm and sealed it much better. Stashed the Tepui in the garage for the winter. Big thanks to @eccracer104 for the AutoAnything discount.

 

My salt corrosion prevention was to add 1700 miles to my odometer. Drive the dusty trails of AZ for the next few months, enjoy that January weather.



Salute to our veterans.

 

Summer will come back around eventually.



I hear even the scorpions want inside with the AC cranked then.

 

Added another crooked decal. Yay me.

 

Salute to all active, former and retired VETERANS. We appreciate you and your sacrifices every day. God bless America.

 

Thanks for choosing us!

 

I am long past the point in my life where I can - or even want to, for that matter - extol the virtues, benefits and praises of that vaunted, yearned for and most often mythical extra inch that those of us gifted with testosterone tend to go on and on about.

But, I may stand to be corrected

After searching hither and yon, over hill and dale and through every auto parts supplier near and far, on both sides of the 49th parallel, at long last I held in my hands the replacement bolts - with the vital extra 2.5 cm - for the seats in the Taco. A (very) little creativity with washers, nuts and a spot welder, voila, the front seats are angled just a tad forward by virtue of the back mounts being an inch higher.

I gotta say...that extra inch really does make a difference; it feels like a whole new seat. And after driving it for an hour, that bit of nagging back pain that I usually have - courtesy of an unskilled and ill-timed act of professional bravado in my foolhardy youth - was notably lessened.

If you're on the fence about raising the back of the seat, I'd recommend it. And an inch DOES matter

Maybe those angry ex-girlfriends were right.

 

It's not how long the sword that counts, it's the skill of the swordsman.
