What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

So the catalytic converters are an integral part of the exhaust system?

 

Absolutely

Yes for emissions

 

Finally got around to adding some lights a buddy gave me. I believe they are Traveler brand, which is sold by Tractor Supply. I bought the CaliRaised brackets. The lights came with a remote control and a control module. I dig this module. It has 2 x 20A and 2 x 10A inputs. No wiring into the cab and I can take the remote with me when I go hunting and turn the lights on about 100 ft from the truck on the way back at night.
I will take some pics at night with the lights on/off.

 

Sweet! Wish you had a link to the lights. Pictures are a plus to identify the ones that you have. Wish I had seen this sooner, I was just at TS today.

 

Keeps the sun glare down, and pollen in the spring.

 

Only one on the truck today. Vynil sticker made by my wife. Two mods in the garage for dust control; jobsite table saw now collects most of its mess, downdraft sanding table. Chop saw is next.

 

Cool switch with remote can be found here! (not bad for $50 compared to $550 for the switch pro, and the best part is you don't need to run wires through the firewall)

 

Hmm, so with this you can attach any ditch lights and use the remote??
I like that idea and will come in handy hunting or setting up camp for sure

 

Love the window sticker, wife did a great job!

 

Excellent, thank you!

 

Cut off the shittybilt hook and put on a flatlink closed loop shackle mount.
Before:After:

 

I've seen this done here a few times, but I'm happy with it. Pretty easy. One hole drilled, M6x35mm bolt, one spacer, and two washers. Very secure and helps me not put too much pressure on the seat as I'm getting in and out.

It seems to have the relays built in. You can do ditch lights, bed lights, light bar and backup lights as long as they're below the amp rating, 60A total. The unit is not waterproof, so you might want to install it in a WP box like

$22 Bud Industries CU-3285 Plastic Style A Utility Box 8.25" L x 5.15" W x 3.12" H, Black

this. Remote is rated for 100', but may lose distance if installed in said box...

 

What did you use to cut off the hook? I like to use the rope loop with a D-ring shackle to create a closed winching system as explained here. The flatlink is super nice though...

 

I cut that badboy off with an angle grinder. Kinda a pain in the ass but it works. Lots of sparks though so if you have a synthetic line like me be sure to cover it so it doesn't get damaged.

 

Looks great. What headlights are those?

 

Ya, I nicked my synthetic line last time I tried that. I'm thinking of using my brother's portable band saw...

 

So...this is the first vehicle that I can remember owning in this century that didn’t come with a hanger for the fuel cap. That being said, this was a must have for me. Kudos to Meso Customs. I wasn’t expecting this until Monday but it came today and I just ordered it on Thursday. I definitely have a few more purchases coming their way.

 

Dude a bandsaw would be ideal, I bet it would slice right through that sucker.

 

I agree!

Have you thought about painting out your aluminum fairlead? I'm kicking myself for not installing one of

$88 Factor 55 00016 Hawse Fairlead 1.0", Gunmetal

these.
