What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looking at bumpers or a hidden winch mount for my stock bumper, because I decided that a winch really should be in my future so I'm gonna need a way to mount it. Realized that a winch would probably some of the best utility before a lift or other stuff. Research time!

Yup, that's it. Wish I would have slapped one of these on before I scratched the shit out of my cluster.

 

Winter blend gas is usually worth a couple mpg.

 

I replaced the 24F battery that came with the truck from the factory after 5 years and just under 23k miles. After 2 weeks of not driving I couldn't start my truck. 5 years seems to be typical of the battery life I've in past vehicles.

I scoured the internet for batteries. Pep Boys and Advance Auto Parts wanted around $200 for 24F batteries. I just went to Sam's Club and got one of the Duracell batteries for $109 before taxes.

 

I thought this would be a good place to share as well. Here’s a custom bumper I designed and fabricated!

 

You can also buy them from harbor freight. I got a set

 

Just checked they don't have the 4000a one in stock, only the 2000a

 

Can I have one?

 

That should do well.

It’s good to take a picture of the receipt.
After a while they fade out.
Depending on the store clerk you might need it for a replacement down the road.

 

Installed DD LED fog lights and interior LEDs.

 

I would be honestly down to make another!

 

Looks great do you have side shots?

 

Cleaned and Detailed the interior and added a few patches.

Also lowered the spare Tire and let the summer air out, and filled it with 32psi of new winter Air

Then hit the chain hoist crank gears with a good dowsing of white lithium Grease and exercised the hoist up and down.

I noticed when first lowering the spare that it wasn’t cranked up tight like it should be. All is good now.

 

Heres his build thread.

Spotter mirror hardest part was pulling the heater wires. “New”? Bsm seems to be brighter.

 

Washed it today after a month. Ran out of GOT DAMN towels, so didn't get to wax it this time. Maybe i'll wax it next month
