What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Agreed, no problems with that, but discussing guns, freedoms, #x ammendment rights for multiple pages afterward is pretty off-topic and should be taken to those other threads.

 

Went outside and did this.

It's 87 degrees out there.

 

I like your mod, I dont care for the pics showing snow. Trying to stay away from winter as long as I can in not so sunny SW Ontario.

 

Yeah I dont like the snow either this early. I should be out fishing still, but no, its been snowing/sleeting for the past week.

 

I never had a fire in my home....ever
I do have 3 smoke detectors hard wired in with fresh battery back up.
I have however had my home broken into.

 

Your videos are awesome! (found here) Thanks for posting. I'm about finished up with my build, but I can see how these videos will be super helpful for folks just starting out. Also, you might want to cross post it over on their install thread here.

Quick question, It looks like C4 had you remove the rectangle tube pieces on the sides of the bumper, and replace them with a bolt? If so, I'm wondering if I can copy that with my SSO bumper? (to remove the rectangle tubes - I had someone else do the install). And, some folks are using a plastic end cap to plug that hole, but I can't seem to find a picture or part link. Anyone?

Installed Spiker Engineering hood struts this morning. No more heavy hood to deal with or dumb prop in the way. Love it!

 

Does anyone make a "chrome delete" kit for a MT? - not vinyl decals.

 

Did this involve any drilling, do they use existing holes for mounting?

 

Factor 55 Rope Guard installed

 

Yes, it does require drilling 8 holes. Touched up with factory paint before installing rivets. Shouldn’t be an issue.

 

Which bumper is that?

 

If anyone is looking for the "no drill" hood strut option.

Just filled it up and gave it a wash and wax today.

 

Thanks for the response!

 

Thanks for that. I'm still doing walk-arounds months after I built this thing. I'm also adding a dab of silicone to some places also. I do have some room so I'll add the bend. Great suggestion.

Thanks for the kind words and the link to the install thread. You can remove them, I'm not even really sure what they did in the first place. Yes, I started looking for something right away. I would love to find a plug that fits the opening. I'm thinking maybe someone can 3D print it for us. Currently on the hunt for something that fits. If I find anything I will let you know. Again thank you.
