What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I was right there with you, ended up doing a 3” bilstien lift with freedom UCAs up front and ~2” OME rear leaf in the back as my first upgrade. My list is long and expensive, I suspect yours is as well. Just make it yours and whatever path you decide will be fine.

Im torn between a roof and bed rack system from up top overland or the southernstyle off-road front bumper with a winch…

 

I'll swing by 1's one day soon (maybe on a weekend) and you can check it all out. No need to wait for the next fire (although you missed a good one on the day after Thanksgiving! )

In the meantime, here's my build thread, if you want to check out any of my mods. Just be careful... this stuff is like an addiction, and it's hard on the wallet

You might be able to use a hair dryer to gently melt the scratch down and then try rubbing it with your finger so it's less visible. A heat gun would work too, but at a much faster rate.

 

loving that xwing top mount for the 8 gang. But, you really should upgrade those map lights. Those oem map lights hurt my soul now when I see them. The MESO led upgrades are tremendously better..

Thanks. I’ve considered something like this but was more stuck on using some sort of iron. Maybe I’ll give it a try.

 

Heat gun keep your distance (as much as you can) and don’t leave it in 1 spot- always have it moving, keep on low. I’d probably use a microfiber wrapped around finger instead just because you will alter the texture too much if your not careful. I did this to bring back grey plastic on the door panels (last truck)

 

Use rivnuts. You’ll still drill holes, but rivnuts will make the holes look OEM. Top photo is one of 2 rivnuts I installed in my truckbed to make attach points for my MOLLE panels. The panels use existing driver side cubby trim bolts for attach points but the cubby was deleted for 2019 leaving none, so I made my own.

 

right, now is when we love the FL weather.

 

Nice job.
That CRKT mount will let you tilt the knife up at an angle. Changing the screw locations on the belt clip to have the handle end come up a little will make it much easier to pull out incase you need it quickly while you are sitting in the driver seat. And, it will not effect the pull if you need it while you are standing next to it with the door open.

 

Yes the Weather is Beauteous this time of year.


Ordered a Trailgate Panel From Aloffroad with cup holders. Looking forward to having that addition to The Taco.

 

The KDMAX tune is the best money you’ll spend on your truck. The difference is night and day.

 

I'm up in Alberta and I purchased CaliRaised brakets for behind the grill light bar...they are spot on, factory like fit, I mean perfect!, great products!

 

Just a follow up on the Diode Dynamic SS3 fog lights install. Perfect morning to show them off! Huge shout out to @memario1214 for the hook up!

 

Roof rack ship notice from RCI. Should be a fun weekend.

 

Don’t mind my grocery getter doing it’s thing. He’s no trophy but we hunt for food around here and he had good body mass and some healthy fat. Plus he’s woods grown not corn grown so he’ll taste good!

 

Ordered the TRD Pro Shift knob.
