What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Where did you end up ordering the tails lights from?

 

Nice! What size tire you runnin?

 

I did another thing...

K&N CAI... I would recommend anybody getting a CAI of any brand do a quick hardware check before putting everything together. The band clamps that K&N sent me were pretty pathetic. Easily stripped. Get some heavy duty band clamps and DON'T overtighten them. They just need uniform contact and lots of surface area to create a good seal.

Edit**** also, K&N does not instruct you to secure your MAF wiring harness to anything. Save yourself the headache 50,000 miles from now and zip-tie it to the intake tube.

 

Picked up a pro suspension thanks to @B1sko3
I’ve been wanting to get this set up for the last 3 years.
My hitachi shocks have been riding like a shopping cart for awhile, I’ve avoided many off-road trails due to them so I’m pretty excited to put these on this week.

Truck is finally starting to come together and I think it’s pretty cool that a lot of it is made up from parts I’ve bought from other TW members.

 

We have a 13% VAT for Ontario which I don't mind paying but UPS is the worse carrier for receiving packages from. They tack on a "brokerage fee" for handling the item and processing the VAT which usually is another 20%.

 

BAM Wholesale. $136 each plus $9 shipping.

 

The HPS cai kit comes with some great clamps, top notch silicone elbows, and the air box is 90% sealed. I used K&N cai on my old Ford Flex for over 50k miles and the filter got dirty very quickly being opened in the engine bay.

 

what size are your falkens? Looks great on the steelies

 

If you plan on leaving your engine cover off like i did, removing the bracket and hardware really cleans things up

 

No this is a '17.

 

Must be all the free health care.

 

"Free" is the biggest lie ever told.

 

ARB plates and rock sliders went on this week...slowly but surely building my overland rig

 

Welp, didn't get to the headlights today, but did try to mount my tail gate bracket.

Anyone got any ideas here?

There's not enough clearance between the tail gate and fender on the passenger side. The gap is too small by only a few thousandths.



...but there's plenty of clearance on the driver's side:



Yeah, I can hear you guys thinking "Well, why don't you get a driver's side bracket and mount it there?"

Because if it were on the driver's side I'd probably be running into it all the time (the latch for the bed cover is on that side).

Is there some way of shifting the tail gate over tenth of an inch or so?

Open to any suggestions.

 

STACKED

 

Health care is not free, we do pay for it in higher taxes of course. I will not get off topic to explain all the benefits compared to other health systems in the world.

 

Where did you source these?

 

I added some grocery nets to the bed of the truck. Exciting stuff I know.

Any improvement to make our trucks more useful(even the small ones) is worth a mention. Maybe something one TW member does hasn't been thought of yet and we all benefit from it being posted here.
