What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I like the grill... I have a Pro grill but it is a replica and it looks EXACTLY like the Pro at a fraction of the cost.

 

Nothing too crazy, but yellow tint successfully applied to fogs. This will tie me over till I can stomach the 350 dollar price tag for the rigids.

 

Wasn't an intentional modification to my truck, but lost my passenger side fender liner after hitting the trails with some friends.

 

Well we played with a Hyundai sedan tonight. The scenario we used was an engine compartment fire with the hood down. This is typically what we have on arrival. This vehicle’s design does not allow easy access to the engine compartment with the hood down. Based on the how the Element 50 did, it seemed to just piss off the fire. It also appears to be exothermic when in operation. I put it against the gap between the headlight and the hood and it started to melt the headlight plastic. Mind you as per protocol, I was wearing full structural gear and SCBA, so I was able to get closer than someone in plain street clothes. The car was still burning, so we went to the dry chem and that couldn’t completely extinguish the fire. The hose line had to be used finally to extinguish the fire. Of course the hood had to be forced open with a pry tool to completely put out the fire. It was an interesting test. I’ll post a link once my son has the video finished. Now if the vehicle design allows you to access the engine compartment with the hood down, you may have a chance, but I would go with a 100 vice 50. I don’t plan on buying another one. My chief was not impressed either.

 

Looks great! I did the same thing until I was 100% sure what fogs I wanted. Based on research, feedback and money, the SS3s won out by far. Something to consider if you’re still looking at options

I was about to suggest this. I love the ss3s

 

Removed my OEM Rigids in favor of SS3’s. Initially SS3 Pro’s and then the Max’s came out right after that and I upgraded. Both were much better than the stock TRD PRO LED’s.

 

Finally finished wiring up my switch pro today along with some lights. Didn't notice the cali raised panel doesn't fit the clutch start cancel switch on the '20 so for now it's tucked up under the dash.

 

Got them on the resale market. If you haven’t heard of VilmontHQ look it up. Lots of good stuff posted on their all the time.

You can buy the files directly from PapaRee. I just did it last week. It took him about 15 minutes to send them to me from the time I PM'd him. First class service. And the tune is awesome too.

 

yeah, once my wallet recovers and I wear these down a bit I’ll go bigger. These are currently 265/65/17 on 17x8.5 methods.

 

Be sure to post that video. I'm looking forward to seeing it!

That's a badass wheel tire combo!

 

$300! At that price, you can’t afford not to!

 

Installed a diamondback HD. Waiting on the front runner rack setup to come in to pair with a RTT I’m waiting to put on

 

I did the same thing. I put laminx films on my fog lights and drove around for a month or so to see if I liked the amber color. I was looking at Diode Dynamics ss3 but didn't want to get them in amber if I wasn't sure I'd like that vs white. I did decide to get the amber ss3 sport.. they are great.
