What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I use Klasse All-In-One as a wash product, that stuff is amazing. It can be applied like a traditional wax as well, so if it really came down to it that would be the only product I use if I wanted to save some shelf space.

 

He said overspray wasn't an issue, and he literally was spraying the truck down once more with it when I went to pick it up. I have seen any issue. Maybe I will grab some spare plastic bits, spray and leave in the sun.

 

Good to know, I'll try it out sometime!

 

I used this on my bed rails and OEM bed cover. It went on perfect, with exception of the very last little bit by the tailgate. I had to light sand it with 800 grit and reapply. YES, there is a trick to it. Cool, low humidity day, out of direct sunlight. Put it on heavy, don't skimp, and don't go over it until the first coat has had time to dry.

 

As predicted, faith in the sticky was lack luster.... but at least just one side (fr driver). There is about 6-8" it just has no stick to, just in the center portion. Rest seem to have adhere'd fine.

Thoughts on sticky stuff? I have some VHB tape, but would need to trim and think it maybe to thick. I have some other 3m tape, but not sure if it is to thin.

 

I don't know his prep before I got there, but like said when we went got there to pick up the truck he used the Groit spray and the Ceramic trim coat pretty willy nilly as just a quick wipe before we left.

Time will tell. Right now the truck is smooth as babies bottom.

 

My two aussholes got a padded room in the back, with a hammock, naturally I had to order childproof seatbelt latch covers, because they like to unhook the seatbelts and fly out the windows…

 

This must have been what he had done, and when got there (long after drying and curing the rest of the work) just did a quick wipe down again. We are low humidity here and this was all done inside a shop.

 

Those are cool! We have the hammock style seat cover in the back for our mutts, but I like those side pieces. Are they separate or part of the cover? Either or where did you get them?

Thank you sir!

 

These are the RSi loadbars

 

Got around to installing the 2017 Pro headlights I purchased from @Formidable. Turned out good and didn't break anything. Not something I want to do again any time soon, tho. The only hard part was getting the lower bumper piece detached and reattached along the seam below the side marker to get at that third bolt.

 

Had a 1000 mile check up, thought about rescheduling since I only have 400 miles on it but figured I would just get it done while I had some free time.

 

Oh, I also recently replaced all my interior lights with Diode Dynamics LEDs. For anyone savvy with the search function on this site, and interested in OEM bulb color temp but just brighter, get the warm white color temp with SMF1 vanity bulbs, HP3 map lights, and HP6 dome light bulb. It's in the descriptions that they're an OEM upgrade, but I went off the pictures too much and got bright/natural white which were just too cold. The warm white is not as yellow as the photos, and those bulb models are an adequate increase in brightness without being blinding (especially the vanity lights).

Their RMA process was easy and I greatly appreciate their speedy dispatch! However, if I can save them one RMA with this post, it's worth it.

 

Kinda ripped this side of my bumper off

 

It is really just a faux bumper anyway. I had a 2nd gen that a kid nailed at 30 mph at a stop light. His car was a total loss. I had to use compound to remove his paint from my bumper. There was a little dent remaining. They just don't make them like that any more.

 

This is something I heavily related to as a fellow herding dog owner.

 

It’s just an excuse to buy a rear bumper
