What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I'm ready to change my image, you have the file for that? Love the look.

 

Work sent me to OH for a week, but I finally got around to finishing the Matt Gecko under hood LED lighting. Pretty pleased with the results. This is the "cool white" hue option.

 

I absolutely love this location. Difficult to do?

also - doesn’t your shifter have a few buttons? Curious why you aren’t using them for ECT.

 

I agree with you. Just 20 or 30 bucks in tint sounded better to my wallet than hundreds of dollars on new parts. I've only had my truck 2 months and already spent a grand on mods, told the wife that I would calm down. Lol. This is the first vehicle of mine that I have done so many unnecessary (necessary) things too and I love it!

 

Installed new wheels, now time to convince the wife we need new tires too

 

Are those the anthracite or machined?

 

Went fishing again Friday from 0530-1030. Not a damn thing caught thanks to all the dolphins out there. They’re really getting annoying although a few tarpons were hooked up.

 

It's just a picture on a usb drive. You don't have to pay for anything

Doesn't work on a 2021

 

Good to see someone else charging their earbuds on the qi pad. Feel like people don't really like it

 

Where do you guys hide your relays when you use the blue sea fuse panel? My temporary solution isn’t going to last much longer, all my slots are used up so I’m looking at other options, the busman tray is nice but hard to find in canada.

 

earbuds and the girlfriends phone or my friends phone’s, I have an older iPhone 8 so I don’t have that luxury but it does get used. The batteries in those earbuds last for a week or two though so it doesn’t get used for that often.

 

Machined

 

I've only got one relay so far (light bar) and it's just tucked away between the stock battery and body. I hate a bunch of shitty in-line stuff spread out all under the hood though.

I've been mocking-up a relay/fuse box to go on top of the engine compartment OEM fuse/relay box right behind the battery, using DT connectors so it's easy to pull out and/or get to the OEM stuff if I need to. Wires exit the bottom, thus the little riser feet. Fuses are to fuse the switch side of the relay, not the load side. The relays are bog standard 40A Bosch stuff, even though they say Online LED Store. 5A fuses are just placeholders -- will be swapped out with 3A.

I have a pixel and use it all the time, thanks to this qi charger from Amazon.

I’ve been looking at those boxes too, I also only had one relay but I just added two more in there this weekend so it’s hard to keep it clean and today looking, I just had a grote 6 fuse holder to keep away all the in-line fuses but it’s full now so it’s time for one of those blue sea boxes or maybe just keep the grote and use the one you posted for relay required circuits.

 

Thanks, I'm familiar, have done it several times. I wanted his file because I liked the image and was thinking changing mine.

 

I use ECT often. I'd rather have it on the steering wheel.

 

I would not be surprised at all.
To install four vinyl door sill protectors, a dealership quoted me 1 to 1.5 hours labor at $120/hr!

 

This is the best way to react to this situation. All people should do is laugh at something like this, you did the right thing. Just some inconvenience you'll have while its being repaired but no one was hurt. all that matters.
Yes we all want our truck looking perfect but it really is just an object to get you to point A to Point B.
I tell my friends that if they visit me and want to go explore with their family i say take my truck. Their initial reaction is "no i can do that, i wouldn't want to mess it up" i tell them "its not a big deal if you mess it up. Drive it into the ocean...I dont care thats what insurance is for" lol
I know some people who would have a meltdown over this, not talk to the friend again, flight, etc. Im even surprised people TW didn't freak out about this situation. "id beat my friends ass" lol

 

Love what you did with the brown. Was it difficult to swap out the door and dash panels? Really considering something similar.
