What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I hear growling coming from the box...

 

It looks good. Is it needed? Probably not. But I like the finished look.

 

It has a rubber backing on it and can be pressure washed. As far as sealing everything up... there are a few gaps that I may have to seal. I’ve got a bunch of cardboard in there now and it’s been raining. I think this will be a good rest to see if anything gets wet.


*as far as mold is concerned, I had a buddy that had one on an F-150 and never had an issue. It can come out if needed but I’ll have to remove the two forward tie downs and the storage compartment in the back.

 

That's the senerio! The difference here is that they eat the red berries on the burning bushes around the foundation and around the property. Then they go do battle with their fantom foe. Damn truck looks like it was attacked by birds with bleeding hemorrhoids!

 

I can see day lite at the front of the bed. It came with a foam seal to put there but that instruction was an addendum that I didn’t see until I was done. Worse case I know where I can get some black silicone

 

Watch the video on installing it first. The instructions call for one continue piece of Velcro across the front. The vid uses the 2in pieces and the long pieces at the back. That’s what I did

 

My neighbor had a plastic owl sitting on the top of his car. It was a stationary one with no moving head. I looked out and saw a bird sitting on top of the owl. I took a pic and sent it to him lol. I don’t have that pic now though

 

What if you took one of those water soluble white markers like they write on windshields with and use it like you would a high spot blue. Paint the suspected areas with it and see what rubs off. Car wash brush with some soap or a high pressure wand wash to remove. Just a thought!

 

Sounds like something that would happen here.

Those mylar pinwheels are starting to look better to me!

 

That's not a bad idea. I thought about lining the wheel well with sticky white shelf paper, but it probably wouldn't actually stick to anything for long.

 

Well, this is interesting...

Spray White Chalk

Washes off with water. Relatively cheap, too.

 

Didn't know there was such a thing, works for me!
Learn somthin' new every day!

 

Bought a winch today $250 with HF coupon. Not a warn, but A winch is better than no winch. Waiting for my SSO bumper to arrive. Cannot wait!

 

Me, too!

 

If you’re good about testing then checking immediately you might be able to get away with just using baby powder.

 

Another good idea. ...and even cheaper.

 

Congratulations and good luck with your new winch. Harbour freight gets a bad rap a lot of times and sometimes for good reason. Then there are other times when one is pleasantly surprised with the performance of what they've purchased. I've done well with the items I've bought there. I heard some good things about the winches from others. I hope and expect you will do well with yours. I have come close to buying one myself on a couple of occasions. The price is certainly right.

 

Heck yeah man !! That winch will be great. Unless you are winching every single day and are just a hardcore wheeler you dont need a $1500 winch. Congrats on your winch and your bumper bud !!

 

I didnt do a thing to my truck today but I couldnt wait....My sliders shipped today ! Im super happy about it. (this is just part 1 of my comment I guess)

 

Installed the Bestop Supertop 2 today on the taco! I like the new revision of this snugs up the tailgate nice and tight.
