What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Aren't we all.

 

I also have Ceramic Pro and it was expensive but a year and a half later it still beads water excellently and is still very shiny when it’s clean.

 

Nope, its super duper easy. Takes like 15 minutes. There is a great writeup right here on the forum!

You do have to cut off the clips that go into the fenders and give them a quick sanding, but after doing it myself I'm of the opinion that the holes/clips are just there so the factory can install them in 5 seconds on a moving line.

 

Mind if I ask how much you paid? Just a wash and coat for me was around $500.

 

My first mod was the series 77 KN cold air intake. It went really smooth. I am not a good mechanic either. So by me doing this makes me more confident to to more mods. What’s the best online off road website you all use for mods? I used Extream Terrain for this KN.

 

Nice job for your first mod

 

Good job. You deserve a beer.

This site is the absolute best for mod info. There's also YouTube, but YT vids can be hit or miss. Watch as many as you can.

If anyone is considering buying something from Extreme Terrain, I would advise doing your homework first. A large number of their customers are none too happy.

There's a horror story in the BST forum about receiving 2 passenger-side step bars and being told, essentially, "Tough. You signed for them."

 

Not much, no work on the truck lately. Ran the kids down to the river today.

 

Woops. Wrong button.

 

I did my truck a year ago this month. I use a booster every couple of washes. Sheds water like it was just put on, shines like crazy, and very little sticks and nothing stays. Took me about 4 hours start to finish. Clay bar'd the truck, IPA wipe down, and two passes of the ceramic coating. It seriously makes washing the truck simple. I spend more time detailing wheel wells, tires and wheels than I do washing and drying.

 

Surprised to not see that truck half way in the water

 

Hard pass, did that in the Rubidoux River a few years ago, buried my rear diff in the soft river rock. Lesson learned the hard way

 

Can you tell me about this? What did you buy And how has it worked out?

Start by perusing this thread, pretty awesome stuff. I built mine and while I do have some very basic construction knowledge it wasn't that hard. I would honestly just skip the slide out cabinets as that was by far the hardest and most expensive part.

Here are some photos of mine. The picture that made it look all cute was 100% my gf, lol.

 

I just installed an RCI rack and roof top tent, love it!!! Question though, i have ordered a set of total chaos bed stiffeners, should be here this weekend, can i install them with the rack and tent already on the bed?? Any thoughts out there??

 

Here is mine. (Two posts)

Simple Sleeping Platform: Cheap Works Great

I find it best to do things with a friend or an adult present... preferably one that owns a tow strap

 

I agree. Winch got me outa that one.
