What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I have crossed into the darkside

 

Filled up my my truck today. Unbelievable price for gas. $1.37 per gallon.

 

I thought you added a decal of a guy with a cell phone on your back window.

 

Got around to doing the ADM. Very simple. Gotta love a $9 mod that makes such a difference.

A healthy coating of Cosmoline to keep the vulnerable steel parts protected.

 

Is there enough ventilation around your amp?
I installed small CPU fans on the back of mine to make sure there was some air movement in behind.

 

2020 grille mounted right up. I thought it was a nice touch.

 

Yes, they are mounted very close to the air vent things in the back of the cab. So when the window is open, or the ac/heat is on there is constantly air being pushed through there.

Here is it without the cover plate. Heat rises off the amps and goes up either side of the panel and out that vent.

 

How was the install?

 

Looks alright!

 

No problem.

 

I've done my floors, doors, back panel and under the hood is almost done. How bad was it removing all the trim and getting the headliner down? I'm debating it, but a little intimidated by that one.

 

I will be. I ordered from Amazon.ca because I went with Easy Eagle 3D Metal matte black. Very high quality from what I can see so far. They were more expansive than a decal, but I think the 3D will look really good, I'm just waiting for a warm couple of days to ensure they stick well.

New Clazzio seat covers!

 

mounted my S2Pro Ditch lights on Cali Raised brackets

 

I know that people have fit 255/80r17 and 255/85r16 on stock wheels with no cmc, there's a thread on here that was the motivation behind my choice:

Even with my -12 offset the wheels cleared the cab mount by millimeters, but they both probably would have rubbed with any medium suspension compression.

Just to clarify when you say spacer do you mean wheel or strut? I'm still a little new to this so I'm not too familiar with the terminology haha. I almost bought a 1" spacer lift because the tires would have cleared no problem and it would have been a relatively cheap fix, but pushing the wheels out 1.25 with a wheel spacer will most likely be an issue. In that case though it would be relatively painless to test with the spacers on and off.

 

Yes. Remove lighter. Install charger. If you want to really check the battery voltage hit the start button twice without stepping on the brake pedal. This will put you on accessory mode. Once you start the car it will read your charging system. If you get a read immediately after turning off the motor the voltage reading will be falsely high due to surface charge.

Sorry, didn’t really look at the charger properly. I have the one that actually goes in the lighter socket. I wanted to keep the lighter socket available in case I need to use a battery tender in the future.

 

I haven't been to a gas station in a month and I'm still just below full. Probably should add some stable to the gas at this point

 

How was the install? I've been thinking about getting some

 

If I can do it, you can, too. I got an interior trim kit off Amazon with all the tools and a ton of those plastic trim clips for about $18. Definitely worth it. You will probably also want a hot glue gun to re-attach any wiring that comes loose from the top side of the head liner.
