What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Years ago I was giving a little class to some Cub Scouts about tools. I asked "do you guys know why there is a metric system?", they said all the common things about matching the rest of the world, easier to learn, etc..

So I told them "guys the real reason we have a metric system is to confuse people my age". All the adults laughed, the kids didn't get it.

 

I'm pretty sure i was on the kid side of that joke a number of times myself some years back. and shit I'm in my 50's!

 

@reymataco where did you put your cb?

 

Can I ask what you used to tint just the emblem? Thought about plasti dip but that would just black out the symbol entirely.... and do you think it could be done without removal?

 

Yes, I remove the rack all together, it’s 4 bolts. The rack has the upgraded tonneau cover brackets. It’s all from @kbvoodoo. Thank you!

 

Is that with or without the baggie?

 

Simple stuff. OEM bed lighting kit and OEM cargo divider installed.

 

I legit almost spit out my food hahaha

 

No I have been thinking of starting one but am a lazy ass lol. wheels are te37x in dash white, 16x8 -20 offset

 

Does this count?

 

hit 100K.... Guess I haven't wiped the plastic once during the past 4.5 years

 

I’m at 54k in a year and a half

 

What maintenance is it telling you it requires?

 

17500 in 19 months! You guys drive the wheels off yours

 

Wipe the screen that is,

Do do the maintenance.

 

Took an extra day, but yes. Very happy with the results.

Sealed my tailgate with this:

$29 ESI Ultimate Tailgate Seal with Taper Seal 10ft for use with Truck Caps and Tonneau Covers

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IPQWXZQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fab_KCODFbQ0SPXTY

It was easy to apply and definitely fills all the gaps well in the tailgate. Time will tell how well it holds up, but it seems solids.

 

Oil change... I didn't do anything more than an oil change at 90k so next week I'm doing the whole gambit...spark plugs and all...

 

Looks like you have a backflip tonneau? Thats what I have and I installed this tailgait gasket as well. It definitely helps with water and dust intrusion but most of the water still comes in along the rails and cab-end corners on mine.

 

Yeah that’s what I figured. I installed the foam blocks on the header rail, but there definitely is still a small gap in the corner. I’m waiting on some black great stuff expanding foam to fill them in! Hope it works.
