What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thats seems to be the best route for 5100's when used with the OEM springs. The Eibach that come assembled with springs are side specific so I was thinking the spacer wouldn't be needed but I have one already just in case. Appreciate your input.

 

Appreciate the update. I was hoping that both sides would be identical without the 1/4" spacer on the drivers side since they are side specific. I already have the spacer in case I need it. Planning on the lowest setting as well. I've seen the install pics but would like to see a full side shot if you have one. Thanks

 

Just a quick key update. As expected, the Birchwood Casey aluminum black does a much better job on our alloy keys. This is after only 2 coats. Will do 4-6 total:



#WarOnChrome

BTW, I have nothing against chrome, but IMHO it does not belong on Cement Grey, Army Green or Tan.

Now back to my rear camera relocation project.

 

RCI motor skid and lomax tonneau
Both were really easy installs

 

Won’t the coating wear off?

 

Changed the oil. Got to say, having a fumoto valve makes changing the oil incredibly easy.

 

Looks good man. Fan/user of your work (GJ).

 

It’s not a coating, but a chemical change to the exterior layer of metal. The real advantage of this is zero dimensional change and you won’t “chip off” paint into your ignition, locks, etc. Just like gun blue, it will show scratches in the metal as the metal below the surface is a different color (in this case silver). But it also touches up very easily.

Edit: I will update with how prone to scratches the keys are, but until I get some “miles” on them, the unknown is part of the fun of being the first!

 

not the best day for photos but it’s lookin like this ->

 

Like night and day. Add a @Jowett performance filter cap with the EZ Valve and they'll be the easiest oil changes you will ever do. Both of those along with a skid plate that has an access hole for the oil filter and an oil change takes about 15 min. and with no mess.

 

Wonder how it would do on lugs.

 

Had the front windows tinted to match the back.

 

Neighbors gardener... or neighbor themself, gave me some grass accent.

 

Absolute best use of a snorkel I've ever seen. OK, not a Taco but cool anyway.

Very nice. Looks good. Fla area?

 

I like the mountains above the badge.

 

You can't fix stupid!

 

At some point you gotta think to yourself, this was a bad idea.

 

Removed the stock SR 4x4 suspension.

Installed TRDOR. Wow. Added 1" to the front, and the ride is fabulous.
