What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Didn't even know what that was until I googled it after reading your question

 

Ordered a Dometic CFX3 45 last Wednesday and it arrived a day early! I have Toyota bed mat and Diamondback cover. The Dometic just fits under the cover. I'd need some feeler gauges to measure the space.

 

The antenna is a

$30 Tram 1181 TRAM 140MHz-170MHz + 430MHz-470MHz Dual Band NMO Antenna (1181)

Tram 1181. I am not very pleased with it's current performance. Was planning on mounting it and my CB antenna on ditch light mounts. Didn't realize the NMO cable will not fit though the hole on the ditch light mounts, and there is not enough metal there to drill it out to make it fit. So as a temporary solution I took the bracket that came with it and attached it to a existing bolt in the bed and ran the cable to the cab though the led blank.

Since the ditch light mount didn't work out, my new plan is to mount it on my roof rack once I get one. So it's just kinda there for the moment. My understanding it the best place to mount it is dead center in the roof of the cab by drilling a hole. Your roof then acts as a ground plane. I don't want to drill in my roof, and I am not yet sure what I am going to do for the roof rack. There is a HAM radio BS tread around here that has much more knowledgeable peeps in than I in regards to HAM radio.

How's the light output at night?

I can see that ending badly for the paint on the side there...

 

IMO, the mud flaps on the 3rd gen are designed to tear right off as soon as you take the truck off road. I replaced mine with these which are a bit cheaper than the popular RokBlokz.

Beautiful shade of blue. What is it called?

 

Chicago Cubs championship Blue

 

Did the obligatory TRD Pro grille to replace the chrome garbage that was on the truck, looks better, worth it

 

I’ve seen worse

 

Added the bed light on both sides, simple plug and play. The pre wiring is all set up behind the tail light. Part number

PT857-35200 if anyone is interested, I paid 54 from the dealer.

 

Yeah but did you have a 90% expectation of that one happening?

 

This is tomorrow's mod...
