What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

What wheels are those?

 

You got to park perfect every time. That cancels me out.

 

At MT's shop?

 

shit, didn't think that far out .. good point

 

Also you need to be able to pull forward enough to close the garage door, so you then can back into the opening in the door.

 

Diggin those taillights

 

Very few out there. Once @MESO new tails come out there will be even less when they trade them in.

 

Installed a Pro grill to complete my FauxPro look.

 

Haha they have some nice quality med packs!

 

I spoke to the owner of a body shop today about paint matching. Come to find out, it’s a real pain in the a$$. Even with today’s technology, they will have to use the info provided on the side of your door and depending on what month of what year and what country it was painted in, after they plug in that info the computer will give back 15-40 different color matches and then they mostly eyeball it and match it as close as possible. That’s the short story to it anyway. I ordered a small amount of paint through Dr. ColorChip (half ounce of cement paint), to cover the rivet holes to prevent rusting but even then it doesn’t match. I went through Dr. ColorChip after getting a bunch of TW’s users opinions on who they think can match the closest and that’s who was recommended the most. Still doesn’t match. There’s so many variables when it comes to matching paint to your truck. I had no idea until I started looking into it. That’s where knowing a really good paint guy comes in handy

 

yeah! They were great. Everyone there is super nice, Mark was awesome, and they do real clean work.

 

Didn’t install my roof rack but my Prinsu rack came today. I ordered it on Monday for Black Friday sale and it came 4 days. Pretty fast without a wait if you ask me. I got the Cab Rack with Black Ridgeline Grab Handles.

 

Hmmmm. No wonder I can’t get away from them…

This guy right here

 

Yeah, it appeared so. The moto medic PRO is going as a gift and the FLAK large PRO is for me. Seemed like a good idea!

 

Sadly I don’t have FB, but I do know someone who does. I’ll give it a look

 

My brother owns a body shop and he says it’s a nightmare trying to match paint up. He said there are value shades that have to be sprayed and even then he will have to spray panels next to the repair in order to get a color blend that hides the fact that the hood or fender isn’t exactly the same as say a trunk lid. Seems crazy to me that blue isn’t blue or white isn’t white but I guess that’s why it costs so much to get quality work done.

 

Looks awesome. Did you get the OEM or an aftermarket grille? also, any trouble with your TSS?

Thanks

 

my dad was in the 92nd bomb wing during the SAC days.

 

Forgot to snap a photo of the items and such but I installed sumo springs rear bump stops. Anyone got a link to the fronts?
