What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I went with 3M Ceramic. The heat rejection was a huge driver that made it worth the extra cash for me.

 

If that is Meso Customs, it should have clicked into place.

Fekking rad!

 

Just took delivery a few weeks ago and have already started buying things I told myself I didn’t need yet...

 

Thanks for sharing, I'll definitely be doing all or some of this idea...

 

Crazy it's that big of a difference!

New one is in route to the dealer but the cheap "mods" are starting to stack up in a corner.

Went to a junk yard yesterday and snagged a shell and a storage compartment for the left side of the bed.

Donor truck.





Storage compartment.



All cleaned up and home.

 

What did that stuff cost you from the junkyard? Always wondered what kind of prices junkyards charge for take off parts, and what kind of savings can be had.

 

The shell, it has windoors on both sides, carpet inside, front fold down sliding window, power lock on rear window, and Thule rack on top, gave $1,000 for it. The storage compartment he said $50, I offered $30 and he took it.

Can anybody tell me where to plug the two wires on the power lock into? Should be the same ones for the tailgate lock if anyone has installed one.

 

White decal on middle rear window would look great with this design.

 

Curious, what all have you been able to run on the Jackery? Fridge, AC, etc.? I'm torn between which one to get.

 

Close but not quite that short

 

Have you noticed the gain or gas mileage increase at all? If so, you think the intake tube is the reason? A lot of people are saying its just snake oil or the placebo effect. Jw because I'm looking to do small mods like this

 

When I first put it in, it fit pretty well, but when I clicked it into the panel it didn’t quite fit right. It’s just gotten progressively worse since. I might just stick a little super glue on there idk.

 

Just adding to discussion. IMO, replacing the intake tube with a smooth pipe and having a better air filter should improve performance slightly. I went with the HPS silicone tube and I have notice better acceleration and power when pulling my trailer.






Update: installed air flow accelerator for $50 Cdn + 20 min. mod. My seat dyno says it pulls a little quicker and seems to keep pulling right up to the red line on the tachometer.
Note, you need to carefully transfer the foam seal around the snorkel to the new part. Do this by rolling it off and when the tape on the foam is warm. Therefore, you won't tear it when removing. Then roll it back onto the new piece.

 

Maybe take it out and check the install? That ring is supposed to lock in place.

around 4 minutes in, he does the start button ring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQI0x6kVODo&t=311s

 

Thanks for the info!

 

Finally got my gas cap holder
