What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Can anyone tell me if you have ordered parts from BAM wholesale ? Good experience?

 

I’ve ordered the Subaru speakers and the rear bumper step. Zero issues cheapest prices I could fine and quick ship

 

Did 95% of the Matt Gecko under-hood LED strips install.

Found a handy spot on my 2021 TRD OR for the switch. Used some modeling clay to see if it would get crushed. Nope, good location. No drilling; there is already a hole there that is perfect.



I REALLY wanted to run the wiring inside the hood, but the 2021’s (at least mine) don’t have the large holes to run it down the driver’s side. I tried fishing a lead wire for about 2 hours before I gave up. Adhesive pads and zip-ties it is. Grumble. I can see where the holes used to be on earlier trucks.

My lights go to ye olde aux buss, not the battery. I'll wrap up the wiring tomorrow and grab an after dark snapshot of the results. Tested the strips on my bench power supply. Nobody will ever complain about them not being bright enough.

Same. Got the speakers $80 shipped a few years ago. I think they are a few more dollars now but best price I’ve seen

 

Ordered the tailgate lock kit from them and had zero issues, fast shipping and everything works great.

 

Went bigger.

 

Anybody got one of these.

 

what size are your yokos?

Nevermind I just saw your other reply

 

My favorite taillights

 

yessir I think these are the best lookin lights. Aftermarket taillights almost never look good

 

Almost never

 

Finally got around to installing the front DuroBumps on my ‘17 OR yesterday. Good riddens OEM “hockey pucks”

 

almost never

 

Details please, and I'd really appreciate a photo from the side/back angle. I really want to install a large display in mine too. Lastly, did you have the premium audio or what? I'm trying to find out if I need a new bezel with the larger cut out. Thanks very much, looks great.

 

Bumper. Winch. Lights. You know. The usual. Happy 4th! Hope everyone gets out and enjoys!

 

I used the same switch. It doesn’t fit snugly but it does work. I wish it would’ve snapped into the plate but it just kinda slides in.

 

1.25 Spidertraxx spacers on 275/75r16s ST Maxxies.

Stock suspension and NO Rubbing.

Both my garage and driveway are inclined, the latter a lot more than the former. No rubbing on neither.

Ok, I rubbed onced when I was backing out of someone's driveway. But it literally happened once and I've not been able to replicate it since.

I have had the spacers since Wednesday morning. I've not wheeled the truck yet. But on street use, there has been no rubbing.

 

I'll circle back to this tomorrow with more pics. There's a thread in the audio section I'll update tomorrow as well.

But quickly: you don't need a different bezel

 

Thanks man! Got it from taco vinyl.com
