What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got 600km on a tank and 10.5l/100km (23ish mpg) over a road trip.

 

Hit a goose that ran across the road while I was doing about 50mph. Somehow I have zero damage, but man did I feel bad. Slammed on the brakes and nailed the thing with the license plate, I believe. It ended up on the shoulder and was likely dead on impact, no movement when I walked up to check it out.

 

Ouch, Bummer.

 

Mounted the 42” all weather Plano case. Also got it fitted for some rec activities. Ready to get a line in the water, what do you think?

 

What rim is that? i have the exact the same truck, i like how they look !

 

Thank you! They’re VOLK TE37X.

 

I like those wheels. Who makes them?

 

Those are black rhino

Maybe Arsenal model?

 

Should've "honked"


Ok. That was bad.

 

That’s what I could determine too.

Unknown size, other than 17”

I like your use of fire wood rounds to get the stone up out of the hole. I have used that method a time or two my self.
I use one of the tractors for moving stones and the like. I wish I had a good logging winch on one of them.

 

Those must be pricy like a grand each

 

I have been eying these boat motor quick mounts for some time, trying to come up with another way to quick mount the plano cases that are so popular to the also popular prinsu rack. They honestly look like they’re going to turn out pretty sleek, even compared to the cost of one eo2 mount, I can use two of these motor mounts at a little fairer price point as well. Depending on who you ask.

 

I too have been mentally chewing on this. I saw these but was thinking of the quick release seat mounts. Then I was also thinking about those newly popular fire extinguisher mounts.... there’s a market when someone figures out something really trick. In the mean time I think I’m going to go with Milwaukee pack system with the bases

 

I'm thinking those aren't gonna fit my 2017. I appreciate it though! Ended up going with these. $27!!

The milwaukee pack out bases are also a damn genius system for trades or recreation. What are you planning on mounting? I have not seen these new fire extinguisher mounts you speak of, but as time goes by there seem to be more and more ingenuity coming along, just hope that prices can come along as well too... or that we’d all get the chance to become a little bit more fortunate in the expendable income area haha.

 

They would've.

Just be aware that what you've bought are 10x brighter than stock and will flood your backup cam image at night
