What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

ugh...I hate spiders!! So glad that for 5 months of the year they freeze up and/or hibernate here...that also encourages more mountain biking for me too...hate riding through their webs of death!!

 

Thank you! These were the stock ones that came with my truck but I preferred the look of the new ones I have on now.

 

Back east we'd call that... "A real Beader"

 

Thanks Gus! Eyecatcher from Amazon. Did the recommended dry install with their pre-spaced clear carrier...at 42 degrees. Worked well for me as I was able to pull it away a few times till I got the alignment I wanted which turned out to be almost perfect +/- 1mm...and it's possible there's a dog hair under one of the letters

pretty cool where you get that storage box

 

Thanks, I bought here. I didn’t know if it was going to work, but I made it work.

Leveled and wheels and tires.

 

Went camping this past weekend and took some pictures. Not hardcore offroading but its a start. Going to big bend soon so more pictures coming!

Since I never posted about my recent mods:
- iKamper Skycamp Mini
- Front Runner x Diamondback Bed Rack
- Front Runner Slimline II Roof Rack (not low profile)

So far, pretty happy with the build

 

How do you like the skycamp mini? Enough room?

 

Got a good chunk of metal in my 2 week old tires. Cost 19$ to replace at discount being pro rated. Pretty good when I originally thought I was out 230$.



I also realized I need a full size spare. Might order another RRW wheel.

33” compared to stock

 

to be honest, I have not slept in it yet. I slept on a ground tent while my mother and sister slept in the rtt. From what they told me, they slept really good and that it was very comfortable. It fit them + 3 pillows, 2 blankets, 2 bags. Their only complaint was that the front of the rainfly was flapping a lot during the first night because it was really windy (and I didn't use guy lines) but that's minor and can easily be fixed.

 

Link to rail mount?

 

Whose kit did you go with to level it? Looks good and it appears to actually be level. I have seen some that are nose high.

 

I just used t nuts for the rail and had to modify the bracket that came with it a little.

It's always prettier in pictures. After the 6-8 inches we had in north MS back in Feb., that was enough winter for me. Now, we get to endure the following (and not necessarily in this order):

Pollen



Tornadoes


And the always bi-polar weather forecast

 

Went with bilstein 5100s on the front to get 2”, and a 1” block in the rear. Ride was good on the way home.

 

Just changed the oil nothing special... I just like using the lift

 

Sorry, I thought the box and the platform were 2 separate pieces (bought individually)

 

Oh no, the box and mounting brackets come together, but the mounting brackets are like a clamp so I had to mess around with it

 

I have the same bed rack, are the front runner mounts only for security or is there another purpose for them? Only curious because I would prefer to not mount my RTT directly to the rack as it’s kinda of a PIA.
