What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Any hyperflash with them??

 

The 7443 that you linked has the following warning:

WARNING! This bulb is for use in parking and turn signal applications only. These should not be used in vehicles equipped with DRL systems that run on the high circuit. Using this bulb in a DRL application will void your warranty. For DRL applications we recommend our V6 Triton system.

Almost every Amber 7443 LED seems to have a similar warning.

 

No Hyperflash, but I have meso's side markers (built in resistor), and his stage 1 total tails (no resistor installed)

yeah...it's for the turn signal...the DRL is a separate strip.

Edit: I see you have a SR5 which uses the turn signal bulbs as DRLs. I would probably not use those bulbs then.

 

I may add some sort of... Not sure what to call them.. blinders? Like in horse racing. Something to focus the light to ensure its it's not being in the cab.

 

added some BD Squadron ditch lights and a Softopper. Going to change the lenses to clears, just haven’t ordered them yet. Rack for my tent/awnings will be added soon.

 

What does an engineer do when he questions the common belief to a question? He asks more engineers. Asked two more today at separate times about the bed weight question. Both had the same answer. Any weight applied to the bed behind thecenter of gravity and not large enough to overcome the moment of the engine weight forward will carry almost entirely on the back axle.

The points made about the lever and fulcrum as well as the trailer are both correct. But you aren't comparing apples to apples in either of those scenarios. The lever fulcrum thought doesn't take into account the second fulcrum being the front axle. The front axle will always be the pivot point until the moment of the engine weight is overcome. The trailer thought is applying a weight greater then the sand at a moment greater than the sand at the tailgate. It also adds in several other variables like angular momentum one the load is moving that doesn't apply to the sand.

Short answer is that it really doesn't matter where you put it theload is almost the same on the rear axle. Still going to go to the scales on my next weekday off to prove it. The ISTP in me has to have the facts. Lol

 

That could work.

Emergency vehicles use a shield around dash mounted strobes.

 

Added some bling

 

My first truck was a 2WD MT DCLB Ranger. Put a cap and boards on it. Three tubes of sand in the bed over the axle. In 200k miles of Michigan winters, I got stuck once. That was an awesome little truck.

 

was happy last night and all the way up till 12:45 this morning. 5 this morning and the rest of the day that's pretty much sucked. I'm getting too old for 4 hours of sleep. LOL. My Carolina girl turned Cajun Queen had to top out at about 10:30. I would like to thank my sponsors Alka-Seltzer and Goody's headache powder. I would not have been able to make this Championship run without them.

 

Added the TRD skid plate

 

Ain't it amazing what we'll voluntarily put ourselves through in the quest for entertainment?

 

Got her dirty hunting pheasants in Kansas. Nothing but dirt roads for miles. Crazy how far you can see.

 

LOVE those 2020 headlights!!!

 

Painted my bed bolts with some spray can bedliner.

 

Welcome to the forum from Eastern North Carolina.

It's the little things we do, that others may not even notice, that makes it yours.

 

I didn't do it to my 3rd Gen, but someone hit and scraped my front headlight and bumper in the parking lot at work today.

 

You have great taste LOL

 

Looks great, I am wanting to install one my self. Just can't believe how expensive they are. Hoping to find one at a descent price.

 

Made some TRD center caps fit on my Mickey Thompson wheels.
