What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

IMO, I think they look 10x better than the OEM.

 

I know this might be "too little, too late," but I bought a set of under-rail bed lights from @mattgecko. While not OEM, they certainly provide a lot of light. I put some on this past summer. My only legit issue was running the wiring from the bed to the engine bay to power it up. But once you get it going, it works and it's bright as all get out.

Bed lights:



He has a few other color options. I also did some engine bay lights after buying these:

 

I have a 2018. You have a 2020. They are different kits

 

Installed this winch cutoff switch. Thanks @Gilmorec61.

 

They are OEM for 2017-2019

 

Looking good! Glad to see install went smoothly

 

Installed it in the dark with a flashlight. Very solid bracket. Looks great.

 

Bought unpainted bumper caps, used duplicolor super white spray paint and a few coats of clear to color match the body. I plan to wet sand in a few weeks after it fully cures.


why does it always post the photos sideways from my phone?

 

You are a slave to Apple. Turn the phone the correct direction and that will get the correct position for the photo. It's an Apple-owns-you kind of thing. You had the phone turned up (vertical) when you captured the photo. Turn it sideways.

Or open the OEM photo, rotate it 90 degrees and save it, then post.

If that doesn't work (you may retain the Apple proprietary format), use a screen shot, then save it to your choice of file extension. Not complicated just annoying...This (aforementioned) is why I prefer the Android platform.

Save, rotate 90 deg., save in new file extension (JPG), re-post.

 

I did the same. Easy install and lights everything up not just the end of the box. My only gripe was the cost to us Canadians. Almost $300. Conversion and $50 USD shipping. Gross.

 

Kind of freaky....on my 2021 in the new year.

 

Aluminum backing plate w engineering grade orange relective tape...using the 12 stainless accent bolts to attach...

 

These are the adaptors.

As for the headlights, everyone's dealership is different. Some will sell you the part without a model year vin, some won't. You can try your local dealer, ebay also sells new 2020 oem leds.

 

Working on a theme...

 

Sometimes you've gotta cheat a little . Find a VIN in your local dealer inventory that has what you're looking for on it and give that VIN to the parts guy (to at least get a part number and cost, have them work for you).

 

But more than just skin deep...

 

What did you use for a battery mount?

 

Where did you find the single small switch holder? I'm looking at putting my winch switch there.
