What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Finished the top A-arm on my 3 link project.

 

Your truck looks very good from the front. From what I can see, I like the tires and lift. Even the plain black Recovery D-Rings. I'd like to do the same to my white 2020 LB Sport one day as well.

EDIT, I see you have a block heater, have you had a chance to use it yet? My 2020 is only 2 weeks old and no cold winter yet to try it out.

 

Yea, those Chineseium bolts will get you every time.

 

For real man. I was barely even putting any pressure on it and it just started to break. Felt like I was ripping apart play dough

 

Yes. Made a new one. I made a bracket too.

 

Just ordered ROCK BASHER 2-1/2 IN 409 Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust System Part Number: 49-46046 from aFe. Wanted to try something new with a high ti-tuck design.

 

Does the bed still fit?

 

What are those ski mounts? Also, how short are those skis?

 

I made the same mistake when I installed my lift. Mine sat level if not a tad nose high and it drove me crazy. Ride was terrible and the look was off. I tore the front apart and lowered it an inch. Had to realign it and the whole 9 but so worth it. Really happy with the way it turned out after I lowered it.

 

Your ride looks great!! Good to know someone else encountered a similar situation and was able to work through it.

Did you add new UCAs?
I see youre on Ironman Foamcell Pro Stage 2 with 285/75/16 TRD Pro wheels. No spacers, no chopping, no rubbing.

I’m running 17” pros. Wonder if I can still drop an inch and avoid rubbing?

Thx

 

So far, so good. I've only had them about three weeks now, so I can't say much either way, but I am pleased with the ride and handling. I too had a couple of sets of the older AT3s on my last truck, and was always very happy with them. I expect these will be no different.

 

I have the Ironman forged aluminum UCA’s. I’m not sure if you would rub or not as I’m not as familiar with specs on the Sema wheels. It’s certainly a preference but I would personally rather lower the front and attend to the rubbing with a CMC, pinch weld smash, and/or new UCAs. CMC can be done pretty inexpensive and your front CV’s will appreciate the better angle.

 

Yes the bed still fits and if the shock towers robbed my bed space I would not be doing this mod. Tomorrow the lower links will go on and 16 fox dsc get picked up. By next Wednesday my truck will be all back to daily driver...I didn’t think this mod would take 3 months but everyone took there sweet time getting all the parts tougher. 3 weeks for front shocks from king. A month to get the Fabtech bracket lift that are all on B/O ,a month to get the lower link frame mounts fabricated from Solo Motorsports. Acuutune off-road is awesome one week for tuneing and delivery of rear shocks.

 

Installed my Maxtrax on the @RCI-Offroad bed rack, as well as the ROAM Adventure Co 95L case on the roof. Re-applied my custom GOAT armor to defend against more trail pinstripes this weekend! Ready to hit the Mohave Road tomorrow, through the weekend!

 

I have a GooLoo. They're all pretty much the same. I've used it several times helping other folks out, jump started my lawn tractor with it and even charged my cell phone during a power outage.
I check mine every couple months to make sure that it's charged.
Pretty handy little gadget to keep in the Taco.

 

Put rack on to carry kayak abive bed so I can open and close top

 

Post on True Crawling Tread. It would be more appreciated there

Just some straps and 145cm long Altai Hoks, on the Cali Raised MOLLE racks. No lifts, no resorts, no problems - skins on the bottom, some telemark if things are a little hairy, and we can go about anywhere.

 

Wow. That’s a sick set up.

 

Nut + bolt...and the tiniest bit of loctite.
