What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Your truck will never be the same again

 

Love Crater Lake, its gorgeous. Have yet to take my truck out there though since I live in Illinois

 

Installed these mictuning bed rail lights. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0VYQCU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8

The quality of the components ended up being a little lower than I expected, but it all works for now. Hopefully it stays that way. At any rate, it was cheap and they are bright!

 

I've got 10,100 on my 17.

 

I’m just shy of 26k on a 2020

 

Might as well drive em, that's what they're for.

 

Well this showed up today too. Just don't have any time to install it either.

 

It is the only product I have put on my truck since day one. I was hesitant and skeptical but damn it's a solid product.

 

Amen to that. Bought mine on a Friday and the 500 mile “change your mind” gap from the dealer didn’t even last until Monday

 

I put 25k on the first year I had mine. Commuting life was the worst.

 

I have one like that, do you know how to see video if needed

 

Installed REDARC controller. Used their switch plug that goes by the power inverter switch. Super clean!

 

Is there a memory card in the camera where the needed video could be uploaded

 

You should be able to connect to the camera using the app. I couldn’t get mine to connect for playback but I could change settings. I have a replacement coming this week that hopefully works.

 

Has anyone else noticed the tiny bit of tread the car makers' tires have on them now? Seems a lot of makers are using the Goodyear Wrangler tires which you might get 25K miles out of them at best. Something cheaper they have slipped in that we don't really notice when buying a new vehicle, the amount of tread on the tires. My 2008 Tacoma I squeezed 40K out of them, I guess this is what we have to look forward to on a new vehicle, tires with very little tread on them. Mine was only 3/8" of tread when new. I barely pass the Penny test at 20K on these tires. A friend bought a new 2020 Colorado, bless his heart, and he has the same exact tires. Saw a video of a 2021 Jeep Wrangler, same tires. I bet they get these tires cheap buying by the trainload, with such a thin tread I bet they are easier and faster to build.

@Sand Dog , please tell me this wasn't you after telling your wife that

 

Wired up some bed lights for the Diamondback tonneau. There is an LED fixture under each tonneau lid. Both turn on if either cover is open (magnetic switch), or if the tailgate is open (door jamb switch). You can also dim them or shut them off completely with the dimmer knob by the dc panel. The bed cubby panel for the dimmer, dc panel, and voltmeter (coming soon) is 3d printed.

 

Got back half of my Shepa rack on. Easy install. Had to make track nuts since the ones that came the tracks were steel.

Tomorrow I’ll start the front Cab rack.

 

That actually looks good. One part on my driver side front door has a small piece missing (and can see blue paint). How much was it PITA to get off though?
