What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Gave her a bag of gas and made her squeaky clean.

Yup. A buddy of mine in Borrego Springs was actually part of the new Frontier’s interior design team.

 

My dad was a 52 command pilot and Safety Officer at Ellsworth. Every time we drove through Broken Arrow, Oklahoma he literally cringed...

Does SAC still use "broken arrow", "bent arrow", and such for nuke mishaps?

 

Congratulations My One Year Truck anniversary is Tomorrow

 

SAC was dissolved in 1992 and we were brought under the newly formed Air Combat Command for a short time before being sent to AF Space Command(ICBM/missileers - 52s stayed under ACC). About 15 yrs ago, the new AF Global Strike Command was formed, and USAF strategic assets were brought under AFGSC, so it’s basically the current SAC.

But the short answer to your question is yes, those terms are still in use. Broken Arrow, Bent Spear, Empty Quiver, Dull Sword, Nucflash, etc.

Fun fact for those not in the know:
SAC is the single most powerful fighting force in human history

 

Lift height is left up to the installer's preference. Some set the attachment to lift higher than the prop strut. Doesn't need to be that way though.

 

"Remove factory trim piece and be careful to keep remaining pieces together, do not lose buttons, gasket, circuit board, etc. Place new trim piece in place and reinstall screws. Screws are self-tapping, do not overtighten."

This is the klind of shit that keeps me up at night... I'm sure it's no worse than any other replacement, but...

 

That's a great idea!

 

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
