What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Heh... Nah, I'm messing with you. 34's and fenders are sitting in the garage, I'm just waiting for my new bumper to come in.
But a fun plot twist happened yesterday, I got a notice for a frame recall... Do you think my dealer will like those little cab mount tweaks?

 

Forgive for not reading every post here so I may be talking about something different. I have an after-market remote start on my 2018 and it stays on when the door is opened. But it will shut off if you step on the brake before inserting the key.

 

I'm guessing not. I guess you're going to find out what your dealership is made of. I hope it goes well for you and that they don't try and wiggle out of it because of your tweeks. Good luck, I hope they treat you right!

 

Lol. I haven't read every post and would guess that many others haven't either. One of these days!

 

I'm not too worried about it. If my dealer doesn't think my truck is cool, I'll do a re-re on the frame myself as its just a bit of surface rust spotting. Between the re-gear, suspension, elex accessories and myriad of other mods, I'm pretty sure my dealer will lock the door when they see my truck pull into their parking lot.

 

Because you have a key. All push-to-starts will turn off with a remote start when you open the door.

 

One way or another you'll find out what they're made of, hopefully it will go well, I mean it's not like they won't be reimbursed for the work as long as it doesn't require extra work.

 

True. I'm actually curious as to what they'll say. I haven't run across anyone else whose done the relocate and then received their frame recall. So I'll post the results on TW when I hear back from my dealer, maybe it can set a bit of precedent.

 

Is that a Boonedox bed extender? If so how do you like it? I'm thinking about picking one up.

 

I kinda thought something was going on...but obviously not enough to stay away

maybe you can tell your dealer that the cab mounts rusted through so you just went ahead did that work.

 

Can't trust us damn canuckistans eh? We're a shady bunch...
I like your style. If they don't bite, I'll try the "But another dealer installed it!" and see how it goes.

 

A bed extender is a great addition to any pickup, short or long bed. I've used a Darby brand (same one for both vehicles) extender for years both in my 2nd Gen as well as in my 3rd. Under $100, durable and we'll worth the money.
I carry my canoe, kayaks, pt lumber and even (2) telephone poles for gate posts cut to 12' each and those suckers are heavy!. Can't speak to similar extenders but can give a solid recommendation to the Darby. 300lb rating. A hitch mounted bed extender is well worth the money and is a plus for any pickup owner.

 

Just tell them you brought it in 6 months ago to have the cmc done. If I remember correctly it was a tech named Carl. Did a great job.

It’s all about a subtle sell and name dropping.

 

Really put in the work last couple days. Hello 5.29s! ARB front locker! ARB twin tank under the hood. She's becoming an offroad contender now.

 

"Oh what a tangled web we weave....."
I like the way you think!

 

That's awesome, well done! I was thinking to do a front locker if I re-gear as well. Do you have any photos of the tank / location you can post?

 

Nice! What mount did you use for the ARB?

 

What side steps do you have on here. Pretty sharp

 

Thank you. These are the Nfab podiums.

 

Are those 285's on the truck? Curious because I am looking at the same tries for my rig.
