What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yes, it really does change the feel of the ride. I think it also improves positioning for driving stick.

I’m not sure I’ll need the rear spacers with the power seat. I’ll wait and decide after I’ve run with them a while and taken a long trip.

 

I got hooked up with a free donor set of headlights. I’m yet to drop them in. Some broken tabs etc. Might put them in than do my stock ones that are in excellent shape. Will also add the amber acrylic lense to the blinker if so. Was much easier than expected.

 

When I finished the install and got in the truck my legs hit the steering wheel. There was enough adjustment with the power seat and steering wheel that it no longer interferes. I have the steering wheel nearly up all the way and pulled all the way out. I have long skinny legs (34” inseam), but am only 5’11”.

 

I'm not tall either.. 5'7 on a good day I just have big legs lol. Nevertheless, that's good to hear. I'll probably end up grabbing some soon cause ever since I started hearing about them I've noticed my legs are kinda just floating above the seat instead of resting on it.. especially driving stick.

 

Hmmm no power seat for me unfortunately. I'm short but with bigger legs and my steering wheel is already all the way up and out.

 

Same. Even the OEM "TRD 4x4 Offroad" decal looks cheap and awkward IMO.

 

Do you have the steering wheel adjusted fully upward?

 

Yeah I ripped that sucker off the first month of owning my truck. Also debadged

 

Yeah, unfortunately.

 

I did the same. Looks so much cleaner without them but I wish I would have done it first thing. They were brutal to get off with the truck being a couple years old already. Worth it though.

 

Firestone Destination XT LT265/70R17, factory rake, bakflip. I also like my Magnaflow exhaust...

 

Where did you find those seat lifts at? I'm a little short so it's hard to see over the steering wheel.

 

Right here!

They have some for the rear of the seat as well if you want both. You'll see them recommended if you scroll down a bit.

 

Thanks! I will need them for the back definitely.

 

Installed the MESO total tail stage 1 and what a difference that makes. Super bright and the switch back turn signals are a really nice touch. Also installed the bright box fogster to keep my fog lights on when I’m going down dark country roads. Then I washed her and got her looking good.

 

Did you use resistors as part of the tail light install?

 

Were any of you at the sweetwater brewing meet in Atlanta today? There were a decent amount of 3rd gens that were definitely owned by enthusiasts.

 

That thing is awesome. Bet it could catch a pretty penny. The prices on Bring A Trailer are insane

 

Wow I’d love to have that truck!!

 

I did not need the resistors. I guess it hit or miss some need them and some don’t.
