What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

As easy as it is to take apart, I would do that instead of taping off. In fact, if you never want it chrome again, rough it up, use a good etching primer and paint it. The plasti dip is eventually going to come off.

 

I think there was a youtube video out there, but the chrome ring is basically held in by chrome colored clips on the backside, just squeeze 'em and release. If I recall there are about ten all the way around the ring. I seem to recall a bunch of screws as well, but it was last March when I did it, so memory is a bit hit and miss here. It's easy once you have the grill off, you'll see what needs to come apart.

 

FedEx just delivered the Lower Control Arm Skid Plates from R4T a few minutes ago - will install them tomorrow.

 

Wash, clay bar, wax

 

Looks a lot better than the plastic caps! And, much cleaner without the extensions.

$160 Midland - MXT275 MicroMobile GMRS Radio - 15 watts Two-Way Radio with Integrated Control Microphone - Overland Caravanning Tractors - Detachable External Magnetic Mount Antenna - 8 Repeater Channels

Here is my impulse buy for today. Midland MicroMobile 15W GMRS

My previous buys include a disconnect plug for the KTJO pop and open, so I can frequently remove my tailgate, and mini ditch/puddle lights! (warm white) @Nimble9 @ARCHIVE






I'll post some night shots when I'm done with the @MESO puddle pods.

 

Got SS3 sports few days ago but finally got them installed this morning in 45 degree weather... numb hands and tiny screws not good combo... can’t wait to see them at night

 

Speaking of grilles... Saw this today https://www.ebay.com/itm/203157855592?

 

Saw that coming!

 

Didn't your Taco come with caps in the tubes?

 

Got em, love em, secure and solid mounting, absolutely no complaints after several years

 

Ya, someone stole them. Apparently, they are a hot item.

 

Welcome to TW Nate!

 

got a CaliRaised Off-road light bar installed! I’ll post a video for you guys at night to show you the difference

 

That grille looks just like Scot Farkus’s grille

 

Came in my 17, don't need replacing, guess I've missed something somewhere. Sure there's a good reason for it I just don't know what it is.
I have em, I'm happy.

 

Tip: Separate the two someplace warm and use your wife's hair dryer (not a heat gun) when messing with the clips that separate the two.
That plastic gets even more brittle than they already are when the plastic is cold!

 

Y'all gonna make me go look.............Well I tried but at this moment in my back surgery recovery I best not bend over that far just yet. Later.....

 

BAMF rear High Clearance Bumper! (install tomorrow... once ping cures!)

 

I think the black covers are about making them look more “finished” versus making them specifically black.

 

Finally put some sliders on this morning. Installed by a friend. All in cost me $315 and a case of beer.
