What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed an Eibach Pro-Truck Lift Stage 1 Suspension and new Stilettos for my SheTruck... Methods 305 NV with Falkens WildPeak AT3 275/70/17. Love the results!

 

Can you give some feedback on the ride quality of that Eibach lift? I'm curious about on road manners vs mild off-road use. Truck is super clean btw!

 

Gorgeous.

 

Pillar vinyl delete. Heat gun, keep the right angle, go slow and it pulls most of the adhesive with it. Bug and tar remover and a fingernail did the rest. PITA. Added a coat of Turtle Wax Hybrid Wax/Polish to the area.

 

Installed a Cali Raised molle panel in the truck bed. Designed specifically to be used with the Bakflip MX4 (lowered bed rail). Well made and adds some storage options for those that keep shit in their truck bed.

 

Spent 2 hours at the DMV getting my Taco registered, paying taxes and getting personalized plates. At first lady was like "hell no, you can't get those plates" as she looked up the translation on urban dictionary. But I found a few searches that made it seem less vulgar. Hint, it's a Spanish word that means the F bomb, slang.

 

Not much but...
- Trd pro grille w:/ raptors
- door sill protectors
- remount phone position
- fresh ceramic coat
- final chrome delete (cup holder ring)
Nothing crazy but I’m definitely happy and satisfied...









until the next mod

 

Thanks! I installed it 5 days ago so not to much feedback to provide but I can definitely say it’s a better ride than stock!! The ride quality on the streets is pretty smooth; a little stiffer than the stock but still a comfortable ride.

 

Found a no-drill bike mount solution that works with my Diamondback.

 

Went to Home Depot to pick up 25 bags of topsoil. The leaf springs were flat. I was surprised that it went down that much. At least it was some truck stuff. I’ll use the trailer for the next loads.

 

Sometimes, Air lift or Goodyear bags seem to be a viable solution to an infrequent problem.

I'm thinking Independent Schrader valves and a bicycle pump . Fill to suit.

 

I recommend an RMAS install.

I had Firestone bags on my Chevy 1500HD. They worked great for pulling the 5th wheel camper. I was just being lazy and didn’t feel like going back home to get the trailer.

 

Adding a permanent fixed rate booster spring is a different approach. Much like "add a Leaf" .
THE RMAS and the airbag options have a glaring deficiency. No additional LATERAL stiffness in the spring pack. Something Hotchkiss drives Need desperately with increased loading.

 

Some helwigs maybe? Easy enough to install.

 

definitely bronze.

 

Yeah, getting those personalize plates can be a bit tricky. Had a cousin who lived in Georgia, but was going to school at Mississippi State. He went back home to Georgia, and got stopped by a Georgia state trooper. He had a personalized plate something to the effect of "Balls Deep." I think his was "BLZDEEP."

Anyways, trooper was none too impressed and issued him a citation for the tag because of it's "vulgarity." I told him to fight the ticket since Georgia DID issue the tag. He never told me what happened or if he just paid the ticket. But he did eventually have to surrender the tag and get something else.

 

Too funny, I have seen Koochie on a tag here, but the Sheriff or trooper here would need to know Spanish, I could also say its Chinese - lol

 

That's a great looking truck.

 

I had personalized tags for years. It raised some eyebrows over the years. Even got yelled at a couple of time by passerbys.

I usually just chalked it up to a bunch of Southern Baptist who got easily offended.
