What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

There will be haters but Rough Country suits my needs. I had a RC 6” lift on my F-150 with no issues. Today, I installed the RC 2” Struts, the RC N3 rear shocks, and the Supreme Suspension 1.5” rear blocks. 37 1/4” in front/ 38 1/4” in rear. Everything went in without issue.

 

Gotta love an Access Cab

 

I was looking at those. How do they ride? I have the ranchos on my 1st Gen they're pretty stiff even with the adjustable damping

 

I'm swapping the interior lights to LED. The rear bulb is a weird one, what's the LED equivalent?

 

I had issues with that as well so installed one of these. Worked great.

Thanks! Wanted to get this done today guess I'll have to wait. ☺

 

So far, no difference in ride. I live on a dirt road that has not been graded in a while. It’s a rough road and the suspension feels the same. My only issue was installing the rear shocks. Each shock comes with two shims that slide in the bushing; one is shorter than the other. The long ones do not fit in the 2019 bracket. I had to bend the rear brackets to make them fit. I learned the hard way.

 

I got multiple bulbs and none would fit. They were too long even though they were supposed to be the correct size. I understand wanting to do it all at one time but I had to do the same thing. Very pleased with mine. They make them in different sizes and of course the bigger the brighter. Think mine only had 12 lights but not 100% sure. Don't get them too big so they will fit without issues. They're nice and bright.

 

How much armor are you pulling around with those 5.29's and how do you like your rpm's now?

 

zero armor...for now. I have 33’s and a rooftop tent, but the tent is off. RPMs are fine, I don’t drive fast so at 70mph they are about 2000ish and 75 they are 2300. The overdrive gears help manage that. My mpg has improved greatly, with all the hills in San Diego i Averaged between 13-14 mpg from all the gear hunting now I don’t have that issue.

 

Yep. I’m debadging (at least) the TRD OR stickers as soon as the weather’s warmer.

Don’t really care for the “TuRD” anagram. lol

 

Thanks for the info. You just helped me make up my mind, I couldn't decide between the 4.88's or the 5.29's. I have full armor with 33's. 5.29's it'll be.

 

Mounted the new Tepui and relocated the fuel Rotopax to the roof.
Wife is excited to use the comfy tent next weekend!

 

First mod to ma taco, got the taco not even 2 weeks ago so I was just itching to do something to it. Interior light LED replacements!


Sorry for crappy Camera quality!

 

Was able to get my new bumper cleaned, prepped and a few coats of primer on it. Tough when the whole family is sick.

 

nice! Which lights did you go with?

 

I installed some Rigid 360 series LED lights with the blue backlighting feature

Here’s my original post with a write up on them if you care to see more

Finished up adding a few overhead switches today using the Meso Customs panel. I can’t believe how much time this project has taken, and so far I only have ditch lights and a light bar. Plans to add KC spots on the bumper, some rear floods and some rock lights.






Tapped into the switch backlights with no problems.

 

Did this today.

 

you sir, are an electrical wizard.
