What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks. The wife and I started tent camping. Then upgraded to a rtt and bedrack. Sold that to get the shell and ultimately wanted a camper.

Should have just went this route from the get go, but all variations have been a blast. This ones going to be a game changer though.

 

black oxide on stainless steel bolts. Then - dash of glossy black paint on the tops.

 

Installed the AFE exhaust. Really like the exhaust tip not sticking out from the side of the truck. Gives the truck a cleaner look.

 

So this isn't today, but dang if my truck hasn't been getting a lot of use due to the fact that my parents have been packrats for decades. Now that I've got a truck, I'm making frequent 4 hour drives up to their place to help them get rid of things. This was last week as I was emptying their attic. Being in an attic in the summer in Texas isn't awesome. But I haven't posted a photo of my truck since getting the grille badge, so here you go.


The only other mods I'd still like to do are some bigger wheels and/or tires, and a skid plate to cover the cats, if anyone will ever make one for the `21 2.7.

 

Spent the evening mounting my recovery boards to the hardshell.

 

Yeah. I had the dubious pleasure of helping my mom move and get rid of 40 years worth of stuff back this past November when bought a new house. She wasn't exactly a pack rat, but after 40 years in one house, you learn that accumulate a lot of stuff. Some were precious memories. Others was just junk. Convincing her to get rid of stuff wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Even some of my dads old stuff (God rest his soul).

 

Like em so far? Size?

 

Interested to hear more

 

Yep - pretty much the same experience all around for me. There were some fun discoveries up in that attic. And like yours, my parents are actually ready to get rid of their junk instead of thinking that they might suddenly find a use for it. I guess we're at that age that we're having to take care of our parents instead of them taking care of us.

 

That's really cool. I watched a video walkthrough of one and it didn't have that elevated platform with storage. That's a great additional feature.

 

Drove it up a dead end road, this was the view after I had to turn around at 11,600ft elevation.

 

Hard to understand why the Dealership charges so much for Dif fluids?

 

RC Fab gusseted spindles, welds look great. Will have the video up soon.

 

I have that for my wife.

 

I’ve got these tires too. I went from Ko2’s to wild peaks and finally got the nitto ridge grapplers. The other two don’t even come close to comparing. These tires are super quiet on road and handle way better than the other two. When I had ko2’s my truck would pull if I hit a puddle. The ones I have are 33 x 12.5 wides. Only thing is that they are so pricey. I paid $365 per tire.

 

That is an incredible view!

 

Hope you posted this in the scenic thread too.

 

At the tire store getting new shoes. 265 70 17 ko2s.

 

First real post here but always reading shit.

don’t roast me too hard, not a mechanic or anything but have don’t All the work by myself. From CMC, to installs, fender chops. Taking her on the rubicon in a few days and get to see how she does.

just installed the camburg uca’s yesterday. Not quite sure where to reroute my air intake may just have to leave it open since I have no liners anymore. But don’t like the idea much.

won’t snorkel it, so trying to figure out options.

hope you guys like the pics.
