What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I uh.... I took down my spare, cleaned it, checked the pressure and fluid-filmed the hoist mechanism.

 

Awesome........I got you beat, I have had @RedlineTuning on a shelf since April 2019 and just got done installing them as well.
I should have done this 13 months ago........LOL

 

I really had no issues with my old 2008 model drivers seat. I know a lot of folks did however. But I was just pointing out to our fellow 2020 owners that if you get some of these be forewarned the drivers side will need trimming. I can see where that may seem like a "rub" though......

 

Joey ? You know when Scraps grabs ahold of your leg ....

 

Young Boy with Coffee: Excuse me, I happened to be passing, and I thought you might like some coffee.

Little Girl: Oh, that's very nice of you, thank you.

[takes coffee]

Little Girl: Oh, won't you sit down?

Young Boy with Coffee: Cream?

Little Girl: No, thank you, I take it black, like my men

 

I concede !! You win !

 

@Gregw138

I saw Airplane last week.. I wish they make more airplane movies like this.. Fucking hilarious. I already saw first and second movies. I like to see more.

 

Dumb and Dumber , Team America , South Park , Monty Python. These are also some timeless classics.

 

I saw first two movies you mentioned. Not the rest yet.

I wish they make airplane movies such as airplane 3, airplane 4, etc. you know?

Christmas vacation is my favorite for Christmas month movie list to watch. Including Die Hard.

 

Christmas vacation is awesome along with Vacation , Caddyshack , but I gotta go with " A Christmas Story “ for favorite holiday movie.

 

Looks fantastic man. My wife packed them up using old clothes that haven't fit in a long long time. Do what you will with them lol

 

Those too. I plan to see the "Christmas Story" house up north someday.

Back in December, I worked on the basement remodeling for customer... I saw a house across the street from the job site... They had the Christmas story leg lamp by the window... LOL

 

I want one !!! Unfortunately my wife wouldn’t let me display it.

 

Spend my day pulling the back seat and cutting the hell out of my hands dyna matting for the big stereo upgrade ..........

 

I want it too.. I plan to get one as soon as I get my house fix up. Then go from there. I may build a shelf between the top and bottom windows. So I can put the lamp up there.

I plan to have new floor, new paint, new furniture, etc.

 

Soooooo, continuing on with this clusterphuck, I wanted a control panel at the first door, closest to the driver door. That way I could get out, walk back and turn on the lights. (no, don't need another switch panel from the driver seat. I'm not that desperate..lol) So I made this. I'll mount the switches tomorrow and we'll have a light show for tomorrow night. There will also be some charging stations, voltage monitors and other technical crap I don't have but would take donations...lmao. Oh, and a first aid kit bigger than the one in the truck cab. I appreciate all the kind words from you folks too. I'm just a old dude who likes to make stuff, and I enjoy the hell out of doing cool things with simple tools.

And I put it in here;

 

@Tacman19

Have you decided on what color to paint that topper you made?

 

Lol, I do the same thing with heavy stuff. Wrap it in old clothes and towels. I'll end up turning them into grease rags.

I went to put on the hook plates, and they didnt fit so I started grinding one down to fit past the weld nuts on the bumper... after I got it ground down enough it fit in and showed me that if I would of pushed a little harder the pate would of just gone past those weld nuts and into the free area behind it

I ended up using some 12mm bolts for the bottom part, and some locking nuts and washer for the top part. Im going to make a beam that goes to the 2 open bolt holes in the bumper to make a little triangle support for the outside edges of the bumper. I feel like all the mounting surfaces are there, its just missing the beams.

It's already painted gunmetal gray. I rattle can'd it and it's okay, but base coat, clear coat is just not in the budget. Lol. I've got a 8.50 (cert 8.50 NHRA cage)mustang to finish building.That will be a whopper.
Thank you TAZMINATOR.
