Army Green thread: let’s keep it green!

No, not difficult at all. Just watch the MESO video. The hardest one to remove is the right - I'd suggest using a trim tool to pop the tabs.

 

Press the button in the door jam. Permanently though no idea

 

A little photo dump from this weekend. I didn’t take many pictures/videos of the trails but I ran Fiona through her paces.

Took her out on a fly fishing trip to Hot Sulphur Springs CO and the Arapaho’s Natl. Forest. Came back with a mangled skid plate (Muahahaha) and side steps. It never ceases to amaze me how capable this truck is stock. But this is why I bought her, this is my design.

 

Spent the birthday on Saturday washing her and putting on ceramic coating. I like the graphics so much on the AG, I felt she needed a tramp stamp, too. Yes, I did it a few days before the ceramic coating.

 

Did you catch anything? What were you fishing for? I fished in Basalt, CO last year and it was a blast

 

Caught one small Cuttroat. We were trying to synchronize up with the mayfly hatch and catch rainbow/brown/cutthroat trout.

 

So far mods for the week have been: MESO map lights, change holder and Onboard pressurized water. Here is how she looks as of today! Needs a bath but not even gonna worry about it since we’re going to cape lookout this weekend.

 

I did a very intricate install this afternoon. Put the covers on the seat bracket fixing bolts. I need to vacuum this thing out!!

 

Looks good! Are those the olive max trax? They are doing a group buy in another thread on the forum. 10% and free shipping also, I always over tighten shit and do similar things

Thanks! Working on all the lighting nowvent rings were not too bad. I’d suggest you do the climate controls at the same time if you don’t have them already. . That way you don’t have to take apart your dash twice Like @Devious6 said, watch MESOs videos and no problems

Did you get aftermarket graphics or are they stock? Thinking about getting some cuz they look badass and some of the aftermarket ones look like they vary slightly first time seeing the tramp stamp Sorta like it. Oh and happy birthday!

Tell me more about this onboard water system please

 

I tagged you in the thread of the guy that makes the kit, has everything you need to know and a video. Love it so far. Ordered a portable water heater to hook up to it so I can have hot showers.

Thanks. I, too, think the AG with black graphics look badass. I bought the graphics package online from someone on Etsy back in February. The sides and hood match the factory install graphics, but only cost about $100. They also had a smaller bedside graphic that I chopped up and pieced together for the tailgate and side of the shell. Install isn't hard if you watch youtube videos first and take your time.

 

Did those come with the truck? If so, I missed those!

 

Hope everyone had a good Father’s Day yesterday. We did a beach camping trip over the weekend. Spent an hour getting sand out of the truck.

 

Picked them up on Amazon - but they have sold out for now.

Where did you go to do this?

 

Added some more meso customs today. Stealth shift knob w/ ECT relocation and LED map lights.

 

How hard was the shift knob/ ECT swap?

 

This is in Galveston Tx(crystal beach). About 30 miles of drivable beach where you can stop anywhere and build a fire. Not the nicest beach(water)but fun!

 

It was pretty easy. I had taken apart the interior this past weekend doing the climate control rings and other meso blackout pieces. So pulling it apart again went a bit quicker.

All the wiring is just plug and play. The hardest parts: feeding the connectors from the knob down through the chrome ring on the shifter. And then finding and connecting them to the harness.

I spaced out and forgot to put back on my blackout meso ring on the shifter after I had the whole thing wired. So I had to do the hard parts twice.

I recommend following meso's install video.

 

What did you do with the empty slot?
