What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I have the install video here of them fitting, its tight but they fit--

Nice Taco. I think they look good. Keep them.

 

I picked up a cap and some goodies thanks to a member on here. Just have to find the time to get the front bumper on.

 

Original breather was tightened all the way down where it took a lot of effort to remove. Last few threads on it looked like they were close to stripping. Because the thread is tapered, I did (and have seen others) use teflon tape for install and sealing purposes since you don't want to run it all the way down to the case.

And yes, I ran mine behind tail light. There are a couple harness holes you can use along with securing the hose.

 

Your diff produces enough pressure to force diff fluid all the way to the battery compartment? Unless the rear acts as a pump, I can't see it pushing the fluid that far and high. I'll check it in a couple months and stand corrected if it does. Its not pushed out of the oem breather which must be a one way...

 

Measured up the Trail Toys fuel tank skid for drilling:



Drilled one hole, then used the OEM skid to transfer punch the remaining holes:

 

Miss my 2nd gen!

 

Ordered the Icon Delta Joint Tubular Upper Control Arm Kit - 58450DJ and will be installed on 8/12, along with lowering the front to give it that factory rake. Here is the before picture and will post an after picture once completed.

 

I bought them for mine and hunting is exactly why I bought them. I don't really worry about what someone else might think, If I need 'em just once they're worth having.
If you don't care for the look spray them black and you won't even notice them.

 

I don’t understand why i just know it happened. Watching to see if it happens again, though i haven’t run my lockers recently

 

What did you add in the rear for lift and how do you like the ride compared to stock?

 

How are they "not rated" for recovery? It's a nice gusseted design that wraps around the crossmember. It's better than the OEM recovery hook.

I'd remove the shackles and store them in the truck. Else the constant movement will wear through the powdercoat in the bracket eyelet. You'd have to remove the shackle anyway to loop a recovery rope through one.

 

Just because the manufacturer didn’t actually put a rating on them apparently.

 

I have the demon brackets and shackles too. I didnt like how they hung low so i pushed them back.

 

Me too. I love the new style and the electronics but I miss inside cubby space and the engine and transmission. Mine had 249K miles on it when we parted. The last day I actually owned it I get a flat in the rain at work. Thankfully we have Insurance coverage for that and I just assisted. It got traded in with a flat in the bed!

 

Subtle change to the front end. A little edgier on the interior.

 

Meso Customs Total Tail Stage 1

 

Did you do the dash upholstery yourself?

 

No, I used @Lugnut22 and sent him my own leather.

 

nice trip to Newport beach with the kids
