What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I got it right away..........., how scary is that?
I got the arse part too. No more nosebleed jokes, promise.

 

Did you check out the SockieTech brand? I was worried about clearance on the battery side because I had mounted a project box on top of my fuse box. Luckily it cleared by 1/8". On the other side there seems to be plenty of clearance.

Installed Raptor style lights in my stock 2020 Sport grill.

 

"Shorty" would have been funnier.

 

It is... ever notice how what it ACTUALLY costs to build a vehicle is almost never reported...anywhere? Also, the dealership's cost isn't there either. Some are "credited" vehicles - the dealership doesn't actually "pay" to get them on the lot, but inventory dictates what they get in the future. Plainly put - gotta sell to get more inventory, or more desirable cars. There's a Chevy stealership close by that always has about 100 'vettes on the lot. They're also the #1 (they claim) Corvette outlet in the country - they "only" make $1K off each one, because they sell them cheaper than ANYONE else. It's volume. If they gave you cash back - it's because they got a break on the invoice, and getting a vehicle off the lot is better for them in the long run, than having it sit around. Sell one at $1K profit, get one in return, or sell 2 at only $800 profit, and get 2 in return. In the end, option 1 nets them $2K, but option 2 nets them $3200. Obviously, the numbers are a bit more complicated than that, but I suck at math, so I kept it simple for my sake. It's all about getting vehicles off the lot at any cost. Wanna see them give away the farm? Go get a car on the last day of the quarter, about an hour before they close. I purchased an Xterra once for about $300 over invoice, but that last sale made a huge difference to the salesman's commission and the dealership's inventory.

 

TODAY... I provided some much needed shelter from the rain. This little dude sat under the truck for about 45 mins.

 

I just ordered mine last night, too.



Not sure who I stole the picture from but thank you.

 

Might depend if Tiny looks more like "Andre" or "Manute"

 

I'm a shorty and it ain't funny. But it is easier to find jeans in my size.

 

Keep it up and you guys will get some arse!

 

My weekend off so no bitchin' from me unless of course it rains like it's supposed to. Maybe a small mod or two is in order. Hmmm.

 

Lol right on, he appreciates it.

 

Relocated my forward facing camera. I had mounted it using the attached hardware but it was too low and blocked the radar causing a fault. I found that it fits (very snugly) right between the Y and O. This location is almost perfectly centered and a few drops of epoxy and it won't go anywhere.

 

Anyone ever hauled a pallet of grass with their truck??
I'm thinking it might be too much for my SR5

 

Trucks need to eat too.....

 

Installed the Fortin Evo-all remote starter with an added on shock sensor last night after work. Super stoked on this mod right here!!!

 

This is the info I discovered.
"Depending on the moisture content of the soil, sod can weigh anywhere from 15 to 30 pounds per piece. A full pallet (500 square feet) contains 100 pieces, so it can weigh between 1500 and 3000 pounds."
My suggestion would be to improve your suspension specs. I purchased the RMAS kit for improved towing and load capacity.

A quick search says it's 1500-3000 pounds. Gonna need a trailer. Or multiple trips.

Edit: What @oostroma said.

 

How are you liking your Dissent bumper? Ben does quality work.
