What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Upgraded the license plate and reverse lights to LED. So much better than the stock yellow color! The license plate lights were a little tricky with the tight space behind the bumper, but wasn’t too bad.

 

No pics but I pulled the front sway bar in hopes of better performance lol

 

Too bad we don't get the diesel.

 

Finally got the wheels and tires on. I’ll post better pictures tomorrow.

 

Like those wheels. What brand are those. Thanks.

 

I got this one

 

FN Wheels brand Five Star wheels. Great company. About 800 a set and have multiple color options.

 

My favorite hike. Nice pics.

 

Always looking ahead, maybe a bit premature but I am kind of thinking of swapping out the front door speakers from Kicker to focal.

 

How do those Yokos sound on the hwy? Quiet?

 

I've read too bright back there efffs with the back up camera. You getting any glare?

 

They are not loud. I had wrangler duratrac ATs before and I don’t notice any increase in sound.

 

Thanks

 

Made a cat theft prevention plate and bolted it to my RCIs and frame. Also reinstalled my flares after a trim. Got the CVC tune this week too and wow!

 

Got booted today.

 

Nice! How was the install?

 

For those who want to do this Mod, there is an easy way to change out the bulbs.

Use a thin trim removal tool and slip it in the side of the light housing. Slip your hand under the bumper and push the housing forward towards the side where you released the clip. It will pop right out (you might have to release the opposite side clip, too, with the trim tool). Change the bulb and pop the housing back in. Knuckles saved!! RIP @Tullie D for this great life hack!!

 

Yep they have pissed me off. I have the BX90 and front runner mount/latches. Front runner latches suck balls. Had one come apart (held with rivets) on a trip. Cases for less says "pelican will not exchange latches" unless I return the latches AND mount. Not one thing wrong with the mount. Screw them. I'm going to see about filing a claim directly with Pelican but have my doubts about them too.

Good luck.

 

Ignore the annoying Ford guy attempting to sell a Ranger, but notice the tape line from body to bed. It flexes quite a bit, which would put all that twisting stress straight on anything bolted from one to the other, so what @Taco2021LB was trying to say, was just be careful.

Barely worth mentioning but I am getting started. I tinted the front windows, blacked out the side emblems and deleted the tailgate emblems and coated the frame with Woolswax. Next comes a skid plate, remove the air dam and upgrade the tires to tall skinnies 235/85/16's.
