What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks. It was pretty straightforward once I got the correct size cable (the first cable I got was too thick for the crimps).

 

Been debating on the ceramic coating, how do you like it?

 

I’ve been thinking about doing this on mine. How hard is it?

after installing Rola pick up rack, we had about 1-2” rain. I noticed how the base mounts had no way to drain, and the potential for a lot of water to just sit in there. So today, removed and drill some drain holes and cut the foam a bit to allow water to escape. Also used some permatex thread sealer to keep her from loosening up. All and all a pretty solid rack for 400$,

 

How much diff fluid did you lose, with it being tipped like that?

 

Got the final switch I was waiting on for my extended 4wd modes. Also got the clutch accumulator deleted.

 

Today, I installed my side window deflectors.

 

After 2.5 yrs in the garage I finally installed the esi tailgate seal. Made some Minor changes in the directions… notch the seal vs 2piece cut and 3m 94 primer. Also precut the rokblok but wanted to run a test on install (specifically tailgate side). Didn’t really want to stick it on top of the mountain hatch so thought of below, sandwiched (which I may or may not of seen in this thread). Then thought maybe it would be enough to just pinch the seal between without utilizing the 3m tape. So I used the left over piece and installed it just like that (minus the 94 primer) and I’ll test it over the week to see if it stayed in place

 

Also installed the 12volt remote start. Wrapped the connectors in foam tape (need to go back in and zip the connectors together because I forgot), this foam tape is similar to the tape used on the connectors in the oem tailgate lock… just in case of rattles. Would like to figure something out for the module for a tighter/secure fit in that slot. Also not sure where others placed the warning sticker- I’m guessing the battery/engine bay? That’s the only thing I could think of is removing battery terminals would cause a need to be reprogrammed

 

Finally got the lift installed, only took about a month for my guy to finally become available to put it on. Now just waiting for the new tires to arrive to tie the whole thing together! Also had the hidden light bar installed and good lord is that thing bright! Can’t wait for the roof rack light to arrive

 

Dang if I did that it would rain for two days.

Everything.

 

Gotcha. Not sure where he will be interviewing but that would make sense. I'll have to ask him. Thanks

 

We actually didn't lose a single drop. I had a full quart of gear oil ready to go and didn't need any of it

 

A while back someone posted a link to a new product that you can buy when you want to install a front bumper and I can't seem to find the post It's basically the plastic piece of your bumper that everyone leaves on when they do the cut for install but makes it so you can keep your stock bumper whole (no cutting required) but still have the plastic pieces there so your bumper looks right when installed. I'm looking for the plastic piece I circled in red in the below pic, I know someone out there sells them! Anyone have the link!?


Thanks in advance!

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