What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Mighty fine cutting you did there. Damn near perfect! Great job and looks bad ass!!

 

Just finished installing the ecgs bushing in my 2020 along with some upper control arms. Needle bearing actually looked fine but good for safe of mind. Must have stretched the ABS wires too much though as now I am getting an ABS error, pre collision error, and can't shift into 4w without restarting the truck . New abs wires on the way.

 

What bumper is this

 

Interesting enough I did the same thing. Then I saw this crazy thing. Off road express?

 

That sounds perfect but the link doesn't work.

 

Looked at it lovingly, all tucked in the garage, patiently waiting on my tires to come in so I can install them with my new wheels

 

I just installed door-jam protectors. Found carbon fibers for pretty cheap on Amazon.
Let's see if they hold up.

 

First wash in over a year

 

fresh wash and wax today

 

Looks great. The red "pops" and the diode SS3's shine.

 

After waiting 9 months or so, drove about 1400 miles this weekend from Western WA to Belgrade MT and back to get my GFC camper!

 

what wax did you use? Looks great!

Adams Americana Wax been my favorite of all the different waxes i’ve tried over the years

so easy to apply and remove makes waxing much less of a pain and it definitely lasts

 

Congrats. What’s your first thought of it? Weight making the truck feel sluggish? I’ve been debating on putting a deposit down on a GFC V2 myself.

 

Looks really slick!

 

only slept one night in it so far, but was way better than ground camping. The cushions are firm but comfy, and the windows are awesome. Also got an awning block kit mounted to the extrusion that works well.

driving wise, it adds a small amount of road noise from the wind hitting the front when going over 75mph or so. Pretty negligible though. Otherwise, driving feels fine, whole thing is like 280lbs so its not too bulky. also haven't seen a huge impact to mileage, averaged about 18-19mpg doing 70 most of the trip back.

Love the panels on it as well, its a really nice canopy on the bed.

only thing I’m a bit wary of is any quality control issues that I’ll uncover with time as a handful of folks have had, but so far nothing and its working nicely.

 

I have friends with one and have talked with the owner a couple times and both lead me to believe that if you have a problem and tell them, they fix it. They had a problem with their original panel hinges and so they sent a guy driving around the country full time converting them to the new style

 

A long and tedious day: anytime backup/front camera (I think I have a bad diode on the switch though so I am “everytime forward camera”, thanks @Gigan for the wisdom), Expedition Essentials 3TPAM install (way harder than I anticipated), and Total Chaos bed stiffeners (not difficult, thank goodness).

the hardest part about any mods I do is that my driveway is a pretty steep hill, so I always end up weirdly sore.

 

Did you watch the running4tacos video on it?

Replaced my fogs with Diode Dynamics SS3 Pods today. Well worth the investment IMO. Quick install too.
