What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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

 

Congrats! Save the manuals

 

Wash mine and drove it over to work on my Dads Dodge.
Crazy how much torque these Cummins motors have and how fast a big truck like this will move.

 

I always blow it off there with canned air first to help remove the little pieces that like to scratch it. So far it doesn't look brand new but it doesn't have tons of scratches either.

 

The only reason I got a Martin OR roof rack.

 

The canned air will definitely help but I'd still highly recommend the screenprotech. I don't even bother with canned air anymore.

I just wish Toyota would use a higher quality material for the instrument cluster. Hell the clear plastic on my nephew's Legos is better quality.

 

I musta got the last one.

 

I just put mine back up after removing for the exhaust. It was 16psi (my fault for not dropping it sooner… ever in the past 3 yrs). It could of gotten loose due to loss of air? But that’s what I didn’t do is lubricant- you spray or just goop it

What patches

 

Thanks for the reminder. I've been meaning to air up my spare.

 

Thanks Bully for the inspiration. I blacked the logos on my wheel caps.

Pop the caps off, wash the spiders out of the back, set the cap on a coffee mug or similar, and take a screwdriver to the back. Come in from the side, tap down on the clip toward the center of the cap, and pull the logo off from the front.


The clip that holds the logo onto the cap goes out toward the outside of the logo. Bad picture but you can see the shadow of the clip on the granite.

I spray painted them gloss black (it's what I had in the garage; the other choice was bedliner), let them dry, and snapped them back onto the caps...

...then snapped the caps onto the wheel. I've got black lug nuts on my Christmas list.

 

Yesterday, I put my Christmas lights up



Today, she got to play in the Mississippi dirt
