What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Ok - sunny day, so pulled the overhead panel off - and then started the process of using the dremel to clear out the plastic area for the Me-So custom panel.


Needed a support piece for the right side - so cut this out of one of the support pieces, then shaped it and super glued it into place.


Needed to re-route the SOS button harness so it was out of the way...


Me-So SOS four button panel glued in - and with two LED light bar switches in to see if they clear...


The back side - with the two proxy switches in place...


RE-mounted in the ceiling... and now to order two (or three) more switches.


AND... the overhead switch panel project is officially closed.

 

That's so cool. They definitely don't look like they're over 20 years old. Might have to do that someday.

 

Alright, got her all primered and painted up, gonna give plenty of time to cure now. Far from good, but good from afar.....it’s strong though lol got my diode dynamics SS3 pod lights coming in next week. Can’t wait to finally get it all installed!

 

Added a new usb port rated at 3.0 and 2.4 amps. Taped into my 12v cigarette port for power.

 

Tinted windows, a new bed mat,, tonneau cover arriving tomorrow and a full detail job today - inside and out.

 

Added @oostroma LED light kit to my shift knob today. Turned out pretty damn good! The pictures make it look WAY brighter than it really is.

I also tied it into my illumination circuit so I can adjust the brightness with my dash lights.

I had a busy day. I installed an UpTop Alpha, Rago Fabrication low profile ditch light brackets, Redline hood struts, and OG Fabrication interior molle panels.



Still need to install At The Helm bed stiffners, tailgate lock, tailgate anti-theft device, SOS bumper, Switchpro, lights, Front Runner bed rack, and some other stuff I'm sure that I'm forgetting.

 

It’s actually two Quick Charge 3.0 outlets both rated at 2.4 amps. Here’s an explanation of QC3.0: https://www.belkin.com/us/resource-center/quick-charge/

 

Gave it a much needed bath today. The only bad thing was the pollen had already started to show even before I could wipe it dry.

 

I’m in for one, he said as soon as I figure out where I want to mount the switch he’d get it built for me. The only blank space I have I already dedicated for the 2lo switch, I need to figure out where to get a panel from!

 

Made a gas tank skid. Its just 1/8" steel, but better than plastic. Don't really see a reason for a 3/16th or 1/4" one, as they all just bolt to the straps and some do to the front crossmember like I did. You "shouldnt" have the whole weight of the rig on it, but I guess I'll find out! Skid weighs 37lbs.

 

ha! I thought I was getting weak!! Glad to know I’m not the only one thinking that hood weighs a ton!

 

Trail rides yesterday and today. Only flat place to take a picture! Broke the SHIT out of my rear bumper... I folded it back in, pretty much, kinda. Not so muchish. Departure angles suck on these things. I see a high clearance CBI in the near future.

Also, cleaning it off at the car wash and notice not one, but both CV boots pulled from the hub. Not even 700 miles on this thing. Both leads me to believe they weren’t crimped from the factory. No rips, just pulled right off. Clamps just dangling. Glad I ran some trails right off or I might not have caught it for a while! Off to the dealer it goes Monday morning

 

Picture catchup:
Bug deflector added, SR5 4x4 Off-Road Decal added.

 

Well, in a fairness the torii gates in Nagasaki survived the nuclear bombing

 

Got my platform put in my camper shell. Now I need some help figuring out what leaf pack I need to get my rake back lol. Have a deaver medium duty single AAL and it ain’t cutting it with all the weight anymore.

 

Good suggestion. I may look into that. Just need to get one wide enough for the bolt. Much appreciated.

 

They look great! Love the topper, I went with a softie.
