What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Youtube, and I'm not kidding. I'm 63 and have been doing this for decades. Until YT came along, you had to know someone, who knew someone that could guide you along. Not any more. The only skill you have to have, is a desire to make something beautiful. If your bedroom looks like a college dorm room, and your kitchen looks like a trash can exploded, your're probably over your head. Not directed at anyone in particular but just in general. You don't need to be OCD either. I'm a bit sloppy in my opinion, but try to keep it clean and neat. Anyone can do this. It just take patience, and a desire to work clean and neat.

Epic.....This is what makes a fabricator, a professional fabricator. Imagination.

Yeah I'd like to see this one. It's epic waiting to happen. Nice find.

Has anyone in here had to replace the LCAs on their third gens? My stock LCAs have seized up and I need to fix them so I'm looking to see what's already been done. Thanks for any input you may have.

 

cheers bud!

I found once i started questioning "Why not?" and let go of most values (as in "oh it's another manufacturer - that's taboo" or "HuRdUr iT's A fOrD)


Things go surprisingly smoothly and you break barriers and open doors that not alot of, if any, people find themselves through. I currently have Cheavy parts (Cheavy avalanche bed tie-downs are almost a perfect fit to out bed bolts), Subi WRX parts (the plug and play tweeter mod ), and now i have Ford parts inside the truck. there isn't anything stopping me other than compatibility and fitment. oh and basic human decency.

From everything I've read on here, it can't be done with the 2020s. Maybe someone will prove me wrong, which I'll be very happy about.

 

Hit a milestone...

 

Went to install it... its for a 6ft bed called to confirm multiple times....
Looks like someone else will get this bad boy... ended up getting a ssm top that I will paint later on ill post pics soon.

 

If anyone is in Florida with a 6ft bed pm me and I will let you know where to pick it up.

 

Mr. Brown Shorts was here. All that's left are brake line extensions.

 

I had hard time deciding Cooper at3 4s or wildpeak. Read few reviews wilpeak balance issues etc, which can happen with any tire really. Supporting company here in Ohio, the rebates helped sweeten the deal. Can't wait. About 75% of my driving is highway an streets.

 

Powerstop Z36 rotors plus calipers and extended front & rear brake lines. Also added front and rear durobumps.

 

Added @CaliRaisedLed bed stiffeners.

 

Not a mod but after searching for a while. I am finally an owner of a Kayak! Here in Oregon/Washington people want an arm and a leg for Kayaks. They’re out here selling sit on top youth kayaks for $300 lol

Picked this one up from REI. Last one on the shelve. I guess it was an online order to be picked up in store and when the guy showed up in his Honda Fit, they couldn’t fit it so he said nvm and went to buy a smaller one somewhere else

This one is 10ft

Now I gotta get one more Kayak (preferably used) and a Roof Rack!

 

Lol yes she definitely does. Do you want to see how much she thinks she owns this place? FYI not even my house, it’s an apartment

This was during her Puppy days. All 3 different corners of our entry way.

 

I have flip tonneau that uses my factory rails. What is that drop bracket and rails you are using?

 

Geaux Tigers!!

 

I think it is the Bakflip cover that came with relocation brackets for the rails. I have an Undercover flex which neither relocates the rail nor does it leave any usable rail exposed.

I hope that helps.
