What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Contact @CBoy808 he can hook you up with what you need as well as custom work. In the search box " Custom Stickers Made In Hawaii" he is a vendor here and has a thread here with examples of his work.
Here are some he's done for me.



PM (start a conversation) me if you have any questions and I will try and point you in the right direction.

 

Did they give you a complimentary extended warranty?

 

Get the 3D raised letter ones. Flat vinyl letters suck and are hard to get on without screwing them up.

 

I guess that will be the last time you take it to that dealer?

 

Hahaha, nobody seems to like having to drop the headliner for work. Yeah, you have to pull all the trim that touches it, and preferably the front seats as well to get it out easily, but then it is all easy from there.

I was in car stereo installations for 20 years, and could not begin to count how much deadening material I put in vehicles.
Adding the foam or even something like trunk liner to the back side of all of your panels makes a nice difference. We would do that on any of our more advanced deadening jobs that we did.

Did you do both inner and outer on the doors? On high powered stereo systems we would even put the heavy dampening on the back of the door panels and other trim before putting a layer of trunk liner. Just to make sure to kill as many potential rattles as possible.

 

I have them and they are good but the tape on the back was weak. Had to apply some silicon. Other than that I like them.

 

Put the cab rail on today so glad I kept two tie downs from my old truck!

3D seems to Looks better

 

Well maybe he was trying to distance, not bring attention.

 

Never ever had a problem and that's after countless high pressure laser washes. With any vinyl application preparation is the key. After washing follow with denatured alcohol and vinyl will stick like glue.

Did you replace the rear shocks? I got a two inch rear block on mine. I am looking into rear shocks to compensate.

 

Welcome to TW John!

 

Lomax installed today, easy on and off. Polyurethane coating on top

 

If it were me, the tech would lose his job and I would be pushing for a new engine.

 

On the double cab, the headliner does not come out except through the windshield. I just dropped it and had to work over it. I did raammat on the door skins and frames, and a little CCF behind each door speaker. I'm not an audio kind of guy, I just want it to be quiet in the truck. I will be doing mat, foam and mass loaded vinyl on the floor. Thinking of doing something with the rear wheel wells, too. As I quiet everything else down I can hear the rear tires howling more and more.

They got you to buy it didn't they? Just like they got me to buy the Bed Head Accessory Rail. There is a method to what we may perceive as madness. Selling vehicles is only a part of their bottom line. Selling parts and accessories at a premium is another aspect of their business.
It's all about the money (what I tell my wife) honey.
Realistically I expect to see more omissions of things that most of us would like to have or that were previously supplied as standard equipment. If they can get us to buy it as an add on why include it? For any manufacturer it's smart business, for the consumer it sucks!

 

Did you just spray a coat on top?
