What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

My point was that it was a sloppy knock off, obviously metal is metal.

 

Oh I know. I’m just talking about replacing the stock one in general. With any aftermarket one.

 

Mine was rusty after 2x winters in SW Ontario so I replaced it and the hold down bolts with a SS set.

 

That's exactly my thought, thanks for not criticizing me for buying cheap stuff. It's still aluminum and it's anodized red...works for me

 

Exactly, I got new hold down rods from Parts Source/Canadian Tire and painted them red with stainless washer and lock nut.

 

I didn’t criticize you for buying it, I commented about the attempt at labeling it something it isn’t. That’s it.

 

Did you see my not really real skid plate...hey I saved a few hundred bucks on that

 

Seems to be working for you

 

Yes I just want to get rid of the red on decal. Looking for custom one possibly if anyone knows of where to get please advise.

 

Peel them off, see how bad/where the discoloration is. Then seek a sticker that will cover it. There are tons of options. I wouldn’t buy a sticker before knowing where/what you need to cover.

tacovinyl has a bunch

 

I used to flip back seats down for my dog before he passed away last year. He was good so never had to worry about anything like door interior except for the drool. Worked nicely and flat spot for him to sit lay or stand.

 

Is it tested? Lol

 

My biggest issue with them are the two asterisks next to that 8400lb rating that are never extrapolated upon. I even downloaded the install instructions to see if maybe it was explained in there.

The ARB's recovery point also gets bonus points for allowing greater angles of recovery since the d ring can rotate more freely due to its lateral orientation, rather than the horizontal set up.

 

Removing mud flaps in anticipation of lift and tires

 

The ARB is the gold standard, no question. I have ordered both the passenger and driver side points from BPF and plan to use both with an equalizer strap in the case of extraction. I am confident that between that and the hitch mounted shackle receiver, I will be well covered.

 

Just finished my every 4 mth truck detail:
1) wash with high detergent soap to remove old wax (Purple Power)
2) Citrol to clean exterior windows
3) Goo Gone to remove bugs/sap from paint
4) Clay bar all paint surfaces
5) Use mixture of mineral spirits/water to remove old wax and soap residue
6) Wax truck using meguiars ultimate paste wax
7) Treat black external trim with 303 protectant
8) Drink a beer
I think that starting with a completely clean surface before waxing prolongs the new wax
Never tried any of the ceramic coatings. Might be better and simpler. Will have to research that.

Next time I need to repaint the sliders. Starting to get dinged up.

 

Wait you goo gone’d your whole truck?

 

I carry a dog crate on the backseat and another one in the bed. The one in the bed is if she’s wet; the one inside is if she’s dry. Dogs feel secure in the crate and keeps the inside of my truck clean. Also much safer for them

 

No, just where there is sap or baked on bugs
