What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Me too haha. I'll be sure to test it out soon.

 

Took a photo.

 

You bought Weathertech mats. @shane100700 bought Weathertech floor liners. Different products.

Weathertech started with heavy-duty mats in the early 1990s. Floor liners are a relatively newer invention.

 

The strip fell off after a few days. The adhesive likely isn't rated for automotive interiors. Reattached it with some molding tape 3M P/N 03609:

 

If they are from China the Chinese version of 3M tape is inferior. I've had trouble with items that used the knock-off tape as well.

 

Wiring my tweeters to start my JL Audio upgrades. And took my dog to the park.

 

Mounted my 285/75/16 spare tire. Fits pretty good, but kinda hangs down more than I would like.

 

@Anderson5290 Why didn't you get a 255/85-16 spare? Same diameter but tucks in 1.5" higher.

The LED strip came with a white paper backing with no 3M logo. It's advertised for indoor use as accent lighting on TVs and computer displays. The strip itself is IP65 rated, and has seen -4 °F temps last week with no issue. However, the adhesive likely was never intended for outdoor/automotive use.

The 3M molding tape bought at my local parts store is great though - held an LED strip on the truck's exterior for 3 years.

 

MESO Sunday, headlight trim, chrome delete/vent rings, and puddle lights with switch.

 

To quote a commercial, "I put that shit on everything! "

 

Depends on what you consider “newer,” they have been around for at least 10 years.

I think everyone knew what was meant, sorry if I wasn’t specific enough.

 

I never saw this before either, just ordered some thanks for the idea.

 

Done. SSO bumper and badlands winch installed. Roller fairlead sticks out more than I would like, but beggars can't be choosers.

 

Looks good from here Dave!

 

That's a little different than I've seen on most. I thought the rollers usually go inside and a plate on the outside but never installed one so could be wrong. So the other ones just have a guide plate and no rollers? Love the bumper but I agree. Sticks out too far.

 

I really like your bumper. I’ve been considering getting one myself, but I’m a little hesitate to cut my truck. Still, there have been a few times in the last year when having a winch would have been helpful. Still on the fence but really like your setup.

 

Correct. The plate you've seen on the outside is called a "Hawse" fairlead. Mine is a "roller" fairlead. The hawse ones are great because they are slim and don't stick out. Good for synthetic rope.

Me having steel rope, a roller fairlead is recommended.

Here are some other examples.

 

Looks Good, Parallel Parkers using the backup to bump technique Beware

 

How did you layout your cut line?
