What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

3 inch OME lift with new mk6's and 33 inch ridge grapplers

 

I just wanted to mention that the % value of window tint is actually rated as the amount of light that it allows to pass through. So 15% film would actually be darker than 20%. Just FYI.

I've heard of people having their windshields tinted with 80% or 90% - barely darker than nothing a tall, so it's not noticeable. But it supposedly helps cut down the glare from headlights at night and cut down some of the UV energy on a hot day.

 

Good info, that's why it's so damn dark!

 

Thanks man! I powder coated it red and I'm deciding whether to do the battery hold downs also.

 

I bought those plugs after I bought my cap 2.5 yrs ago. I have still yet to install them just haven’t been motivated enough to remove the cap but maybe if I had a pulley setup in the garage.

 

I have to get my katzkin installed on the 28th. So you're happy with them? Do they look factory? I know they say it takes time for the wrinkles to get out. I am very stoked to get mine done

 

you know your getting old when you have to roll down the windows and turn down the radio to see driving lol

 

I am very happy with them. Better than factory leather it seems. Seat feels more plush as well but that might just be a placebo.

 

I found some molded in black on Ebay about a year ago. They are 2nd gen, so a bit smaller.

 

Just got this installed!

 

Those of you with tonneau covers, do you have any regrets? I'm a total newb to these things and swore i'd never get one. But my camping needs are changing and believe I'm moving to a trailer. I would like a bit of security in the bed and to keep some items out of the weather.

 

NONE.

It's awesome.

I have the Extang Solid-Fold 2.0 - I can take it off in less than a minute, put it back on in under 5, and it keeps everything locked up and secure.

 

I had one for a while , it was nice. But the security aspect of it wasn’t really there with mine.

I ended up going with a shell for camping and recently picked up a trailer and absolutely love it .

 

I was against them for so long, until I got one. I like it because it keeps things hidden and can also be moved out of the way for larger items.

 

I have no regrets at all. I have a Gator Trifold. It's on the cheaper side, but have had no issues for over a yr now. It will keep your things out of the weather and eye sight for sure, but really has no security as a pocket knife would cut through it.

 

not entirely regretful for buying it. it has been useful for protecting gear and groceries when traveling. however, after getting rear ended and the tailgate being stuck shut, i think a shell might be an option i'm going to look into so that the bed isn't inaccessible when the tailgate is in a locked position.

 

Killer setup

 

Not placebo IMO- the material is thicker than stock cloth so that’s the plush. It does feel better

 

I enjoy my G2 bakflip. Does leak a little but could be due to poor installation by yours truly. Solidly built and very low profile. It is on the more expense end and Im sure there are cheaper options that will provide the same security.

 

I purchased this tri-fold soft tonneau a few years ago. It has worked well. If I need to remove it only takes a few minutes and the same with the Billiebars. I also got the tailgate locking system from KTJO shortly after the tonneau purchase.
