What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Not today, but I mounted my hi lift jack using a Jeep JK mount off Amazon yesterday. Had to elongate one of the original mounting holes by about an 1/8 of an inch and it mounted right up.

 

Got some new shoes, courtesy of @ShowstoppersUSA and Don over at @Discount Tire (with my local America's Tire). I can't recommend these two folks enough!! Hit em up! I'm missing one of my Work decals, but will slap them on as soon as they come. Excuse her, she's a little dirty.

@Maxcustody where did you get that braided wire man and did you run all new wire to the diff ground connections, etc ? is that basically the big 3 ? looking to do the sdhq terminal upgrade and also wanna clean up my wiring

 

Badge overlays and caps installed, definitely worth the money. So happy with the results. Those caps have annoyed me for far too long. Didn’t want to put the badge overlays on til I figured out if I wanted to spend the money for a good paint job or just black caps, glad I did.

Getting the metal clip off and back on wasn’t as bad as I feared.

 

Not sure where he got his... I’ve used this for all my wire runs.

Installed my Tyger T1 roll up bed cover, Only took 15mins.

 

I surf alot and have the meso keyfob which doesn't have space for the valet key. Was looking for a place to store the valet key without losing it and found out it fits perfectly in the pen-tirw gauge holder

 

I popped in my front suspension last night. What a noticeable dramatic improvement over the bilsteins/OME.

 

just imagine if there was no noticeable improvement. lol. Kings are so great.

 

Great setup. Mine is setup the same way, just need the funds for the tent.

 

I got these tuned by Accutune offroad as well, they're so good. It's blowing my mind.
I used to run extended fox 2.5's on my tundra and these tuned kings are on an entirely different level. I realize I'm not comparing apples to apples here but still, the difference in correct valving and spring rates can't be understated.

 

that's great when it clicks. i just ran my 2.5 Foxes into the ground over about 60k miles. they were DONE when i replaced them. but i still wasn't prepared for all to be revealed: the Fox 2.5's were basically a bunch of shit compared to my Kings. the Foxes softened the ride like a regular shock but added no performance and i am a performance guy full on. when i got into the Kings i couldn't believe i waited so long. i was in love with the truck but it's a whole new level now.

 

I'm diggin that constant power mod. adding it to the list. you have a link to a build thread?

 

Very nice!

 

Finally installed my antenna. Been waiting two months - I had to get new parts and learn to solder (wasn't hard) because I kinked the RF cable trying to jam the connector and cable through the firewall. MUCH easier to remove the connector and just install a new one later.

 

@shane100700 could I just slip that over the existing battery wire cables ? as a heat insulator of sorts ?

 

Doubt it would help for heat insulation, also this particular version, is a sleeve style loom. So you would have to snake it onto the cable. With the clamp, it won’t fit. Take the clamp off and you can slide it over. It’s serves the same purpose of any other basic wire loom.

 

gotcha.. does yours go over the stock battery cable wiring? if so what diameter did you use? thinking of some of the red/black loom for the positive cable and basic black for the negative. thanks man clean look !

 

@45longcolt I took my own advice and started a thread myself.

I got the one linked. It actually expands quite a bit.
