    Installed Infinity Reference speakers front and back. Left tweeters and just replaced the 6x9 front (two way) and 6.5" rear (two way). Will most likely replace HU with Apple Car Play and Android in the future to get some more boom.

    Decent upgrade though.

    Not today but last weekend. Changed my front wheel bearings/hubs. It was not a very fun experience. My hand still hurts from the slide hammer. :curls:

    No idea why but changed the plugs. They look new!

    Very happy with the combustion patterns in all the cylinders. 20200319_171457.jpg 20200319_171602.jpg

    Shoot the leftovers with 3M Adhesive Remover. Fortunately no fading in my paint nor shadowing

    Going through my stuff to see what I'm going to put up for sale, stay tuned.

    I ordered another 6 relay box (wish they made one bigger). I also ordered a remote start (Viper 4115V).
    I went to the dealership and ordered a connector and "Hi" tone horn. My truck only came with the "Lo" tone horn (base, reg. cab) so I'll be adding the other one this weekend if it arrives tomorrow.

    I also bought the Garmin parking mode cable (around $30). It’s got an inline transformer and I just used add-a-circuit fuse taps to connect the wires in an appropriate manner.

    I used a multimeter and found, at least on my 2015, the PWR OUTLET has constant power and the BACKUP LP gets powered as accessory power comes on.

    Definitely not phishing for complements...sounds like your just mad you cant afford a 1300$ front bumper so you hate on those that have them to make yourself feel like you dont want one. Thanks for a waste of a reply

    Since I'm temporarily "working" from home with this social distancing CDC stuff. I cut some extra plywood to make a small platform for the bed and starting mocking up gear location to add tie down points.

    Wrapped my tweeter trim rings using electrical tape. Don’t laugh, it worked surprisingly well.

    Primed my head unit bezel for painting it flat black.

    No pic, but fully debadged the truck as well.

    Edit: the trim ring wrap came off:rofl:

    Take a chill pill dude, I was just joking. And Yes, I am wishing I could afford a nicer bumper.
    (Hope I didn't waste your time with this reply)

    I mean (IMO) the bumper is pretty ugly... dont ask for people's input if you aren't prepared to hear it... Just sayin. As for the 3rd gen part of it.... if the truck is paid off or close to being paid off ride it out until it dies man! Looks like you've put a good amount of money and work into the rig! save yourself the payments. Just my .02

    IMO a lot of people are smarter to buy a 2nd gen that they can afford more easily than a 3rd gen. I was able to pay cash for my 2010, TRD OR and all. I would not be able to do that with a 3rd gen.

    Definitely. I want to buy a home this year and a big truck payment would screw that up.
