What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Dog names really should start with a hard consonant "Ba" "Ca" "Ki" "Tu". ending with a hard consonant is a bonus. Less confusion that way...

CRANK is a great name for any dog. ;-)

 

Well I would say that depends on the neighborhood. You start yelling CRANK!!! in some neighborhoods and you'll end up with a line of unsavory characters at your door with $20 bills.

Taco related. Just bought bathing goods for the Taco. Turtle Wax Ceramic Hybrid Wash & Wax, Polish & Wax and Spray Wet Wax. Bought direct from the Turtle Wax USA Store. Only $39 total with no tax and free shipping (anything over $20 ships free). Had a 20% coupon for Advance but after tax was roughly $2 more. Worth waiting a couple of days. Anxious to try these products after many good reviews. Time to pass on the carnuba paste wax to my son.

 

Well… not exactly today. But within the last month or so..
Moved over TRD Cat back muffler and skid plate from old ‘17 to new ‘21. Added Thinkware U1000 2 channel, and last a new BakFlip Revolver X4S tonneau cover. Meso coin holder, screen protech radio and dash film (awesome product), window tint of front side windows.
Next is probably going to be the OEM tailgate auto lock . And that’s probably going to be it for a while. Thinking of leather seats but haven’t made up my mind yet. The new upholstery is cheap and horrible. Not that the ‘17 was a lot better… but it was way better.
Oh and hired sexy Wonder Woman and super girl to take care of the gas tank… lol..

 

I now know which one of my kids is going to be a natural when it comes to wrenching my truck:


The other one.

 

I replaced my radiator support mounts today.

 

Not sure what I like most about the post from In2Ndo, the soft-core animated porn in the gas cap or, that he's parked in front of 2, yes two, NO PARKING signs? LMAO!

 

Added some more light to the inside of the camper shell today. Wired up 2 push button Baja Designs Dome lights. 1 white and 1 red for camping.

 

KDMax 6.0 Tune and an OEM tonneau cover.

 

Did you add the bed front d gaskets too? If not that or butyl tape will help big-time preventing dust intrusion.

 

Basically took it all apart, got a kit that I had laying around with a slim ballast and just mounted it in there. Had to enlarge the hole so the headlight would fit in there very snug. I would need to take it apart to see what I did for the wiring, dont remember at this point. But it is super bright compared to the way I bought it plus it is a clean light.

 

Added the emergency brake line brackets from TW member @ryan20021982 found over here to keep the brake line off the aftermarket leaf spring clamp bolts.

More install pics here.

 

I dont at the moment, really thinking about buying the adapter so I can fold the forearm brace. Then I can fab something up to mount it under the dash/glovebox area or on the right side of the dash on the passenger side. Will need to figure a way to cover it too, maybe use a piece of black suede as a flap.

 

The little 1 inch wide rubber pieces? If so, then yes. This came right off my buddies 2019. We took off my rails and swapped them for his plus all the other pieces including those little rubber suckers.

The plastic center piece in the front that mounts to the bed was snapped on his though so mine is currently without it. Do I need to get this ASAP? He says his broke a year ago and he hasn’t noticed any issues without it.

 

Gonna need some details on that grille…

 

Darn! I missed it!!! It’s like @MESO products on limited drop…

 

I still have some left. send me a PM

 

Applied

LINGDA 16.15 SqFT 394mil Car Sound Insulation mat,Heat Shield Thermal, Sound Deadener Heat Proof Water Proof Noise Insulation (20" X 120")

heat-reflective insulation to the underside of my tonneau, to protect it from my

$102 Mr. Heater F232017 MH9BXRV Buddy Grey Indoor-Safe Portable RV Radiant Heater (4000-9000-BTU)

Buddy Heater. At some point I'll fabricate a little deflector duct, too.



Attached the second Taco Rated emblem from Seven Slot Sisterhood:



Also weighed the truck on a CAT scale: 4840 lb with half tank of fuel. 55/45% weight distribution. This is with full armor and 35" tires. By calculation, my MobTown rear bumper weighs 133 lb.

 

Installed NOICO Solutions sound deadening and closed-cell insulation under the headliner.

 

It looks like the one I just ordered last week from mcautoparts.com. I hope it is good quality since I haven’t ordered from them before.

 

That piece is just used to help align the cover. If you can open/close without issue now, there's really no rush imo.
