What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Probably for scale.

 

I know this is not the forum for this, but over the past few years all you OCD wack jobs (with all due respect) have become family for me and I’ve become quite close to some of you. Tomorrow will hopefully be the last court date for a nasty custody battle for my son that I’ve been in for years. I ask for and appreciate your prayers for me. Thank you!

 

praying for you !

 

makes sense, no?

 

Wishing you luck!!

 

I have a Clazzio set waiting to be installed! REALLY not looking forward to installing those. Got the pro grill and lights done tonight. Hope I didn't screw the TSS up. Tires and rock sliders will wait until the current ones run out, so I got a little break on the spending now.

 

Put it on the beach for the first time

 

Where ya at?

 

had me at good colour and gullwing doors on that cap! The beach is def a bonus too!!

 

Marlin Crawler LCA frame gussets P/N MCAR-5514 welded in:

 

Great choice! Mine is quarter turn either way 1/2+ compression. It’s just plastic though so I’ll heat mold it at some point. Very nice that CMC isn’t needed

 

Back up dude. That's a long way to walk to get a frosty pop. [Beer]

 

Got leather seats installed today on my 2021 OR.





Small bits done prior to today:

Swap to TRD Pro grill
Dipped chrome rear bumper caps
Dipped cupholder surround

Decked install / pulled 110v outlet to mount (somewhere)
Bed reinforcements
DMM / routed a cable for phone
Subaru / kicker tweeters

 

Noice

 

I installed a set of clazzios a couple of months back. Not as difficult as I had heard. Removing the front seat bolts helped tremendously. I had a bit more trouble with the backseat. I ended up removing back of the bench seats to install the covers. There are some great tutorials on YouTube.

 

getting ready for the hybrid bumper tomorrow.

how did you guys cut the wheel well plastic

 

yeah product licensing fees and the flash program arent cheap. I paid $300 for my tune, and was informed i can reach out to the guy at any time in the future to make adjustments or flash back to stock, all at no charge. I of course mentioned that i'd bring a 6 pack at the very least haha.

I will say that those $300 are probably the best i've spent on the truck thus far. Improved MPG, confident throttle at 70+ mph (for overtaking if needed), and elimination of gear hunting at high speeds and an incline. i go the "mid" tune which plays nice in the city when i want it to, and if i push the ECT button, it actually has the "high" tune's maps pre-loaded to kick in. Throttle response is great. I've chirped tires lol.

 

R4T actually has little bumper caps you can purchase for $150 rather than cutting into your stock bumper.

Not really something i've done to the truck directly, but i put in an order at Runnin 4 Tacos over the weekend! Should be here thursday, and I'll be lookin forward to some work over the weekend.

Hoping i can figure out a way to wire the backlights for my roof-mounted BD-S8 40" to the raptor lights in the grille so that they come on at the same time. Might just pop them into the SP 9100 and have them programmed to turn on when the truck starts.

i also ordered the

$659 SP-9100 8-Switch Panel Power System With Concealed Mounting Hardware

SP-9100 mounting bracket for in the engine bay, and the mount for the buttons in the truck from SDHQ.

 

Looks like that is what he has installed.
