What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Celebrated hitting 1k miles in the 2020 by putting some steps on for the kiddos. Adds a nice touch of black to match the emblems, grill, and blacked out OR wheels

 

Nice. What demon brackets did you get and where did you get them?

 

Finally got around to putting some tint on the truck.

20% wincos tint up front and rear sliding, 70% on passenger rear and 70% on windshield.

 

Added a few small things to the truck recently:

- Wilco Offroad Bed Rail Tire Carrier
- AVS Window Rain Shields
- AVS Hood Shield

 

My wife got me a new dash cam for fathers day and I found a rear view mirror mount on Amazon that works perfectly, so no more suction cup. I also got the 12pin adapter on Amazon several weeks back.

 

Finished up deadening the rear doors and installing Infinity Kappa 62IX 6.5" Coaxials to match the front Infinity KAPPA-90CSX and 20MX 3 way system. All powered by an old school Zapco Studio 204 I had laying around from an older build in my M3. Sounds great! I built a simple plywood shelf for the amp to sit in so I could still store stuff on top of the amp and give it a bit of breathing room. Also installed new SDHQ battery terminals.

I'll go back at some point soon and finish up applying sound deadening to the rear panel.

 

I have that same camera mount - so glad I could get rid of the suction cup too. Easier to get the sunshade up!

 

No doubt! I use my sunshade everyday and this is going to be perfect. No more having to take the camera down constantly.

 

That little plug is outstanding. Huge improvement!

 

They grow up so fast

 

Painted and installed the ath tie down/chock rails.

 

Nice.

 

Today I: ordered a shift knob, got a work space together for painting the skids that should arrive tomorrow.

 

What shift knob did you go with?

 

After 4.5 years this finally happened. Wonder how much I could sell it for. I obviously don't drive it much. Liking those FJ Cruisers.

 

I went with the Delrin variant of this:

decided that i'm going with Dirt kings spring under kit.

 

Just normal stuff . Put it on the lift and degreased the undercarriage and re applied fluid film . Repainted the sliders removed the spare tire and resprayed the spare rim since it’s on the swing out and visible. Flushed the tranny . Fluid filmed the hi-lift jack . Have 62 k since the build .

 

Whaaaaaat? Just keep it . Cheaper to keeper.

 

Ordered a flush mount plug for my softtop 3rd brake light. Now I wont have wires just hanging anymore.
