What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I just got the same one, didn't know about the koozie mod. I'll be doing that too.

 

It does a good job of keeping it snug in the cup holder.

 

Nice. I just bought the 8 gallon one. Should be here next week. Have you filled it yet? Does it really auto-pressurize? All the videos seem to imply that.

 

Yes you connect the hose to the tank and it works well. The hand pump doesnt work as well but still pretty good. It has a schrader valve which is nice as well

 

I have not figured a good way to mount mine. I have a molle panel, but already have my shovel and ax mounted on that.

 

I installed a tonneau cover and remote tailgate harness!

I noticed something odd I hadn't seen before though. The instructions for the wiring harness say it should be ran alongside the reverse camera wiring on the passenger's side but it seems the camera is ran alongside the tail lights connection harness on the driver's side. Had to end up tying down the wire alongside the brake line then over and at the frame until I was able to tie it to the brake light harness. It does sag some where I threw it over the frame, I will need to find a way to fix that in the future.

 

Pioneer 6600NEX installed. What a difference! Highly recommend doing this upgrade.

 

Added LED interior lights…Amazon
Added Total Chaos Bed Stiffeners
Added Yakima Overhaul HD rack!!

productive weekend!

 

Adding the hideaway sub/amp today. Pleased with the way its fitting in

 

Very nice!!!

 

Got new shoes!
FN F(X) Pro 17x8” wheels in matte gunmetal on BFG K02’s in 275/70R17

 

Built a bed rack (home made)

 

I found some iron strap at Home Depot and just made my own drops that come off the rail. Waterport sells a drop bracket going to cost 60 bucks and then almost as much for shipping ...super easy to make

 

Add-a-fuse to something like

Quick Charge 3.0 USB Charger Socket, ADSDIA 12V/24V 36W Aluminum Waterproof Dual Car Charger Power Adapter Outlet with LED Display for Cell Phone Chargers for use in Vehicles

Had the radio off to install anytime backup camera - but it's only 4 bolts. Easy peasy.

 

They've got several to choose from in a few different colors. All really cool. I'm leaning towards Boba Fett or Yoda.

 

Thanks appreciate it!

Testing this awning out today before we camp next week along Mammoth. Has several configurations. Great solution for those without a roof rack. Also works as a standalone awning as well.

 

I need something like this. I have the t-slots on my bed cover and the only option I’ve seen is from Yakima. Did you buy different parts ala cart to make this work or did you have to fabricate those brackets?

 

I drew the brackets in Sketchup, had them fabricated at the local metalwork shop (CAD $180), powder coated (CAD $80), ordered 80/20 aluminum profiles and support brackets, fasteners (CAD $300), cut to length at home, CAD$600 in total, what would make about US$ 360. I could not bring myself to spend US$ 180+ US$100 potential customer brokerage fees on shipping to Canada if o bought Billie bars or Voodoo . I like the end result, just thinking that 1/4” thick steel for brackets could be an overkill...Also, I wonder if there is any structure inside the sides of the box to hold the rack and potential heavy load. I saw a RTT on the bed rack damaging side panels on Jeep Gladiator....
