What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Stock suspension? If so I can probably do this too since I have a 1.5 inch lift up front

 

EBC brake pads and rotors

 

Seriously only took 45 minutes. hardest part was screwing in the light bar to the brackets. Very little room and you need to be a bit of a contortionist. I needed my wife to hold the light bar as I fumbled in the dark trying to find the screw hole (I am SURE there is a joke in there somewhere and I'd be completely disappointed if y'all didn't take the opportunity to use it). Wiring was a breeze. Just put a little slit in the firewall grommet and feed the wires almost directly into the switch panel.

 

Installed Deaver U402 Stage 3. Still waiting on backordered Kings to mate up to JBAs up front.

 

Door panel molle and a cargo net for groceries

 

i tried using those same tie downs on my rack and they are complete turds. They bend at the base plate when trying to ratchet anything down. Essentially they’re worthless and complete chinese Amazon junk.

 

how much lift did you get in back? I’m adding stage 2s (up to 600 lbs) next week because I’m sagging.

 

Why? Are oem connectors prone to failings?

 

Trussed the rear axle, still need to truss around the u-bolts and to the ends of the axle but ran outta welding gas.

 

I wish we measured the W-shaped oem w/ AAL but they couldn’t get removed fast enough. I’m up to 40.5 on 285/75/16.


Here’s recent side shots with a loaded bed. Now I feel comfortable adding a rear bumper and matching skid plates in back.

 

They only relevant measurement point is hub center to fender

 

Nah. This one just has a few contact points.

Going to run some lighting to it and a fuse box inside the cab for additional accessories.

 

Beer math indicates 24.1 based on 32.8 in diameter.

 

Installed a dashcam, Thinkware U-1000
Front and rear cameras, with radar for parking mode, hardwired into drivers side fuse panel.

 

Love mine.

 

Gave her a good ceramic polish this morning and I believe I'm done modding this rig. I don't see anything cosmetically I would want to add.

 

Thank you for this field review! I HATE junk! and if it were my motorbike flopping around because the hardware failed, I would be pissed!.

(I've even pulled the bed mounted tie downs to "check them", just to be sure! ;-)

 

Dang! I like the seat track rail for the bed side top rail. Now you got me trying to figure out how to get the softopper snap rail integrated into the Ancra seat trac and fit bed racks.

Puzzle.... puzzle...

Thanks for another sleepless night! ;-)

 

Gotta add some door flags bro.

 

Yeah you right gonna order some right now but that's it that will be the final icing on the cake and I'm done
