What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Did these yesterday:

1. Put on the R4T lower control arm skids plates. I was expecting this to be more of a headache than it was (knowing my dumb redneck luck). But for once, it really was a simple, straight forward install.



2. Add these new bed tie downs from @602runner. Really easy to switch out.



Here is his link on TW if you're interested in them:

And if anyone wants the old OEM ones, inbox me.



And today, gave her a quick wash to knock the dirt off after it barely rained earlier this week.

 

Looks slick with the color match!

 

Changed the oil (Mobile 1) and filter today plus greased the front zerk fittings. Tire rotation tomorrow.....hopefully. Sorry but not picture worthy.

 

I did that once to the mirror on my work truck, except on a hitchhikers hand. Always, I mean never stick out your big thumb without looking, especially on a narrow road.

 

Damn thats nuts! Did their hand break??

 

Oh yeah. Swollen up like a cartoon balloon glove. We went back to give him a "hand", but he wanted nothing to do with us. I am pretty sure he was a drug mule.

 

Seat jackers. SUPER easy. Only took about 10 minutes.

 

Thought I would share this. A local guy, in Southeast Virginia, has a brand new non-scoop 2021 Quicksand hood on facebook for $150. He told me he would take $120 for it. A deal for somebody.

 

$120??? If it were in my paint color I'd buy it and throw it the garage for "just-in-cases."

Got the camper shell on! The lift goes on next week…

 

That looks amazing, probably the best color match I’ve seen yet

 

Thanks! ya it turned out real good I was happy seeing it close up.. feel like it can be a roll of the dice..

 

If it was a 2nd gen I would have bought it regardless of color just for a spare. Won't fiy my 2008 or 2012. That is a steal. Removed day 1 to install a Sport hood.

 

Love that hood, how much is a hood wrap like that?

 

$350 for the hood wrap, I got Avery Satin Black. The guy I went through also put a 5 year warranty on it

 

Thank you

 

To the group...

I'm wanting to run a Bluetooth OBD2 sensor on a spare android phone. Anyone have an recommendations for an all the time scanner to Bluetooth to the phone?

As far as the reader apps are concerned, it seems like obd fusion is the best bet.

 

Replaced my factory speakers with OEM Audio speaker upgrade kit. 1000% difference, one of my favorite upgrades so far. Install was a breeze especially with the plug and play design that hooks straight into factory connections, did all speakers and Tweeter upgrades in a hour and a half. Quality sound has a option to add a amp, may do later on but it doesn't really need it in my opinion. Would highly recommend to anyone still running stocks. Only bad part is they are on back order but well worth the wait.
