What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I chipped the truck bed while moving a freezer. The leg of the freezer fit perfectly in that gap

 

My stage 1 does this. It almost didn’t bother me because it get’s people’s attention, but I hadn’t thought about the front doing it too. Looks like MESO has a fix so I’ll hit him up. I LOVE these lights.

 

I had the hyperflash in reverse. Emailed Meso and they sent out plugnplay resistors that solved the issue. Outstanding customer service.

 

Ordered new suspension ADS stage 2 and dirt king UCAs. Now to find a deaver expedition pack (stage 2) and some wheels and tires

 

Spent the last week and a half installing Kill mat in the roof, floors and doors along with 1/4 inch Dyna liner in the roof and floor. Then for the doors
1/2 Dynaliner.
1/2 dynaliner.
In the front foot well area I used Boom mat as I could side it up under the factory firewall pad and left the factory floor jute also in the fr foot well as its shaped to accommodate the air ducts. But all to the rear is kilmat and 1/4 Dynaliner. I didnt need too much kilmat for the floor as I felt the factory damping material seems to do an excellent job. Too bad they couldn't put some of that stuff in the roof and doors! Also using the left over boom mat I made liners for the rear doors. As the factory only put plastic shields on them while the two front doors got jute padding. Which I also replaced with Boommat. Any way a tremendous amount of work that will pay huge benefits over the long run in increased cabin quiet and comfort.
This wasent very expensive to do at all. 1 box Kilmat $60. 2 rolls 1/2 Dynaliner $180. 2 rolls 1/4 Dynaliner $ 100 1 roll 1/8 Dynaliner $50 1 Boom mat $34
and $6.50 for very sharp scissors at Home depot, also picked up a leather hole punch set $14 from Amazon. Which is where I got the Kilmat. The boommat and Dynaliner came from Summit racing here in Reno. Couple rolls of dryer duct tape for the dynaliner joints. Reasonable compared to what the OEM audio will be...But man oh man a lot of very detailed fiddely work.
The truck is much quieter and the roof doors and floor sound like bank vault doors when knocked on. That hollow metal tinnieness is gone.

Glad I did it.

 

Gave it a good wash…about 4 hours before taking my daughter to lunch and getting rained on like crazy

 

Curious on your layout. Ties along perimeter or lined side by side as the floor?

I have some separating the front yard and 5 ft in from the road for additional off street parking.

 

I just posted pics of this the other day. No issues. I like the slight change in my install compared to instructions (looks cleaner IMO) hit the back arrow- it’s not far back

 

Like to add… doing this means there is no peel up to reposition like instructions say you can prior the the firm press down because they don’t instruct using it. But I agree that this will insure a better long lasting bond, just make sure you get it right the first time.

Edit: maybe the stuff I used is different. All I know is I got the little can and it’s 3m adhesion promoter 94. Esi includes the glue stick version in their tailgate gap kit

this truck was the first time I did inserts and it was actually quite satisfying

 

Here is an update of the installation of the bug deflector and window vents. Now she is complete. Pic from dealer before I bought it and now.

 

Took her to the Beach

 

Finally got ceramic tint all around!

 

Best customer service in the world. The best that I have every experienced.

 

Need to do the entire windshield too. It will make a significant difference

 

We all know the feeling, I'm anxiously waiting for my RSI EvoA Adventure canopy (cap)...maybe end of August...but with all the turmoil happening in South Africa... We call them canopies north of the wall.

 

It’s a truck being used as a truck!

 

15 weeks early, the bumper won't be here for a while, but too good a deal. And holy crap, remote clutch, thank you.

 

Put together a video that shows my fridge/solar generator setup being used on a 9 day trip.

All of my recovery gear is Rhino. Good stuff.
