What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Drove for two days with the lower half of the flag pole installed. It holds up at 85 mph with no issues. Turned on lane departure alert for a while (usually turned off in my daily commute) and it worked as normal with no false alarms.



Gonna try the upper half when the snow passes, but will need to be mindful of the 13-ft overall height vs. overpasses. HTA limit for trucks is 13.6 ft, so it should be OK

 

I’m sure he was doing something really important!

 

Put in the bed lights that were an option for the 2020. I bought them on eBay new for $60. Took about 10 minutes and comes with the harness. By doing so I found my passenger side tail lights bolts were terribly stripped from the factory.

 

Finally got my CBI T3 delivered that I ordered on Black Friday! Still need to get the fog lights installed but the brackets didn’t seem to fit for me. Might be a good excuse to upgrade fogs... had ordered a caliraised 20” light bar, but it looked like I might be able to get a 22” in so I ordered it and I’ll decide which one to keep. Still not sure what winch to get...

 

On the 2020 is there just a blank cover and you pop that out to insert these?

 

Added 12v constant power on a switch with Cig lighter, dual USB port and volt meter.


Added some OEM bed lights with constant 12v on a switch in bed as well.

 

Yes, the connector is just behind the taillight as well. That’s about as far as I go on wiring

 

How are the bed lights controlled?

Access cab looks so good, but man my double cab is already super small. Access looks better thou

 

I love the long bed

 

Hmm.. maybe something I can put on my 19

 

Long bed is the way to go. I also like the the SR5 grill better than the trd grill!

 

Welcome to the forum from Eastern North Carolina.

 

This here new fangled connector is only on the 20's. if your 19 is like mine.. it will NOT be there. The optional bed lights were added differently, and the wiring ran from the bed to the lower left foot panel area for hook up.

 

I wouldn’t mind doing some wiring and research
