What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just installed some glovebox insertsnfrom Tuffskins went with color matched MGM

 

Did the AC Drain mod today.

Also just installed the precision fit seat covers last week! They fit like a tight glove and are great heavy duty quality. They are expensive though and I had to wait about 2 months for them to make and ship them. I highly recommend them if you wanna protect your seats

"It is a pantheon of concrete and steel,
It is a city that rises defiantly in the Delta....it is haunting, it is loud. It is Halloween night and Cannon blasts. It is a Louisiana Gumbo of humanity, that cheers it's Tigers to victory and destroys the dreams of invading foes.
Chance of rain is ......never. It is the cathedral of college football, and worship happens here, when the sun finds its home in the western sky. It is a field of glory for sure, but much more than that...It is a sacred place. It is Saturday Night in Death Valley."

And that place along with all other outdoor venues is officially back open to capacity. Geaux Tigers!

 

I YouTube-ed it, purchased at tacovinyl.com. It came with sensor screen already attached, the camera has a custom bracket to hold it in place, I also ordered the raptor lights from them that came with harness and fuse tap.

 

I finished building and installed my camp kitchen drawer that connects to my stove drawer in the bed of my truck. It replaced my Pelican case which got a little too small.

With my previous truck, I slept under the fully deployed tonneau for two years. It's... more roomy than a bivy tent lol.

 

That is a great video!

 

After 5 years of looking for my back seat power plugs, i found and installed the panel. A good artists eye and a few handy tools made a easy job of it. Waiting to wire it until my Blue Sea mount arrives so i can hard wire both plugs individually into dedicated circuts vs tapping into singular cabin power inside the armrest cubby.

 

Love this mod. Also, Taylor is amazing ( the woman who hand makes these bags). She will do custom orders for no extra charge. I asked for black ones with no logo, single straps, and nylon inner so it’s easier to clean.

 

I have done the front doors (access cab) and am doing the back under the back window....

How much difference did it make???

—-and—-

how much of a pain is removing the headliner? Is it idiot(me) proof?

 

The install was pretty simple. It's a little more of a hassle if you're retaining the grab handles, like I did. You're basically fighting against the spring in the handles at the same time that you're trying to push up on the hexrack panel and align the bolts. The panel is a very tight fit, so you have to push up on it pretty firmly to form it into shape and get the bolts started into the jack nuts. It definitely would have been easier if I had a helper with me. I installed it by myself, and I ended up sandwiching a long wooden dowel between the seat and the rack to push up on it while I lined up the bolts (it's not just a matter of holding it up into place... it needs a good firm push to flex and conform). Now that it's in place, it feels super strong. I could probably hang 30 pounds from it with no issues.

It took me about 90 minutes start to finish, which included having to redo two of the jack nuts - one that I stripped out because I didn't thread the "install bolt" deep enough into it, and one that I cross threaded when I was trying to line everything up. Now that I've done it once and learned the little tricks, I could easily install another one in 30 minutes with an extra set of hands.

 

Ordered my 2021 in November, drive it home and parked it in the garage.
Tiday I finally had a day off and it was 80 out!
So this happened!



6.5 cans on a spotlessframe and underbody.

Just sold my old truck, 2005 Dodge ram Cummins 6 speed diesel.

 

Went from a SR5 grille to the offroad

 

Hows the light output on those?

 

Beautiful weather today! I spent almost the entire morning and afternoon working on the pool and then giving Odie a much-needed bath I. Love. Hot. Weather...and this truck.

 

Done!

I bought a 3rd gen today, 2020 with 23,000 miles

 

Depending on where you live, I had the same mindset and woke up to see my tailgate was missing. They take 10 seconds to steal if you don't lock the tailgate and don't have one of these locks.
