What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looks nice! Saw those row homes and thought it looked like philly, then saw the bio. Sometimes I miss philthadelphia

 

Did they compromise your headroom? I'm 6',0", sit upright, and have limited headroom as it is. It's not just the sunroof, but having to tuck in, when entering the truck.

 

Nice. I just ordered some since it seems to be a good way to have a good yellow fog that will work in the snow.

 

Sold my canopy on Sunday, got a Diamondback HD today! Thanks so much to Overland Outfitters (@WormSquirts / http://overlandoutfitters.ca ) I'm much happier with my truck now!

 

-Finally grew a pair and tore out the ridiculous tree hugger charcoal filter in the intake. sounds a little better. not expecting any gains, but I don't care about the small amount of unspent gas fumes coming out. The TRD intake for our trucks doesn't have on, clearly it's not critical.
-Knocked out and cleaned AFE Pro Dry filter.
-New HEPA cabin air filter. Very expensive, but it's been pretty smoky in the PNW this summer...
-Also cleaned the MAF with special spray. I doubt more than 5% of vehicle owners do this and it really makes a difference in throttle response and regaining MPG lost slowly over time.

 

What is this "charcoal filter" you talk about?

 

tons of threads on it, it's the white cloth thing that is attached to the inside of the top half of your air box. It's actually a bunch of layers and thicker and denser than I thought.

 

Wh

what kinda front bumper is that lieutenant ??

 

You make me feel somewhat better. I've had my 2018 for 25 months now and it only has 3,450 miles. My 5 month old 2020 is now in the lead with 3,760 miles.

 

So how do you know that the ECT is on? Will there be an increase on RPM or something? I press it and the light turns on and the ECT light on the dash is on but I do t really see any difference.

 

technically i didn’t do it today, but i added a green carbon fiber gas cap holder.

Thank you, for a spot on match, I found Automotive Touchup is the best of the 5 or 6 I have tried. The OP was talking about a close match, so I was hoping for something about 1/3 the price of an exact match for interior and other pieces far enough away that you wouldn’t notice the difference. I’ve spent way to much $ on exact match paint for a lot of projects that close would have been fine for.

 

Got my bowl lights today, I ordered for an access cab but I guess they made a mistake and sent me a double cab version, as there was 4 light things...
Anyways, here’s ice blue!

 

That looks pretty bright. I got the white and they're dim. Bright enough at night, but if there's any ambient daylight, I have no clue they are on. Found that out while installing them and testing as I moved from one to the next. Other than that, I'm satisfied with them, makes the truck looks better in my opinion and they're a great price honestly. Could you imagine the markup if it was a factory add-on? At least $200.

 

Exactly. Something you can install in roughly 30 minutes. Honestly, the hardest part was loosening the door panel enough to run the wires through. But even that's not hard--just a pain in the @$$.

 

You should notice that it holds on to each gear longer. Just driving around the neighborhood without it on, it will shift quickly to get to optimal mpg, but with ECT on , I barely get out of 2nd gear in the neighborhood and the rpms are much higher.

 

Where did you find the climate control knobs and vent rings in voodoo blue?

 

I ordered those from AJT Design. I ordered the full chrome delete kit from them and am very satisfied. Great quality products.
