What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I’m jealous man. Sounds like an adventure.

 

Sounds good. I'm a bit biased because as a kid I loved those 4x4 emblems!!

 

Stars always lead.

 

Shots fired!

 

Thanks my friend.

 

What head unit is that?

 

Probably why they're all moving to Florida....

 

Thanks ! that’s what I’m hoping. You’ve have a nice build

 

Yeah I plan on doing the same in a few years. I hate the cold

 

You'll be trading cold for crazy.

 

Yeah but it might be worth it

 

One nice thing about Florida is they have the biggest and best Flea Markets in the country.

 

Nothing but respect for Marines here. In fact, I have a son in the Corps. Oohrah!

 

I disavowed the Navy after I wasn't allowed to call for naval gunfire.......

 

Right! There goes one thing I’ll never get to cross off my bucket list.

 

In the military its means you are always moving forward, anything that is moving forward the flag faces you as if the wind is blowing it backwards

 

Installed a N2 Designs Remote Start Kit today. It was super easy, took maybe 20 minutes to install. Of course I did watch the N2 Designs install video (and other videos of folks taking apart the dash) about 20 times but we won't count that as install time Best $200 I've spent in a long time (it's still pretty dam cold here).

I will be swapping out my 2019 Limited Grill (Chrome) for the 2019 TRD version (black mesh) in the next day or two

So far....

TRD Grill
Remote Starter
Side Steps
Window Tint
Rubber bed liner
AVS Window Visors
AVS Bug Shield
Console Organizer

& Every time think I'm done I see something else I want (LED Bed lights - damit)

I know this list is nothing compared to some, but hell the truck is brand new, do I really need to spend a few K more? (I know the answer)

 

Welcome to TW M8! You're off to an impressive start in such a short amount of time.
Congratulations on your new ride!

 

Thank you. I feel like I've done nothing when I browse around this forum. I've entered a slippery slope, there seems to be no end in sight to the after purchase upgrades.

 

Making some progress on the bed extension. The only thing big enough I had was some 1/4" sheets, which is definitely overkill.

I did run into some issues with the factory tie down bolts. They appear to be m11x1.25 and will not fit through the 1/2" bolt holes I drilled. The next size bit I have is a 1 3/4" hole saw. I'm planning on trying some 7/16-20 bolts instead as the size is pretty close. Tbd if I'll need to retap.

Next up will be attaching the swingout and cutting the extension to correct length
