What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

after seeing the comparison thread in the ultimate headlight forum, I'm sold on the PRO LEDs. I have a 2019 Pro. Not sure what the harness looks like, but i'm positive it looks like any other 2019 Pro/OR harness (haha)

I initially wanted to do the BHLM and put the Lexus projectors in. I've don't the mods before to other cars, its not hard, just time consuming and murder on your finger trying to pry the housing apart. But as much as I like the idea of a bi-xenon projector, I really, really like the look of the pro leds and the switch back signal/drl. I questioned the lumens of the Alpharex Luxx and their reliability vs. the cost. The Alpha rex quad projectors are nice, but it appears you can pick up a new set of pro leds for less than the cost of the alpha rex quads, and have oem equipment installed on the vehicle.

I'll for sure check out @daveeasa for the harness too!

Thanks

 

Why would it make you nervous? That's actually a very solid mounting spot. It's really secure, I was able to tighten down pretty good on the new supplied bolt, and threw come dielectric grease on it for good measure, also helped lubricate the strut joint (BONUS!). Also, if the bolt happens to go south one me, I'll run one strut. The struts are actually strong enough that just one holds the hood, not at full height, but as high as the rod.

 

How do you like those Milestars so far? They look so mean, such an aggressive tread and sidewall edging, I like 'em. But, hows the daily driving on them? Noise? Cornering and braking traction? I know they're an M/T and all, but some do better for the daily grind than others.

 

How is the wind noise on the freeway with the Prinsu? I really like the idea of having the rack, but the hooke road rack my truck had when i bought it sucked! It sounded like a tornado storm doing anything above 30 mph.

 

Damn dude that sucks, curious to know what failed

 

Hell yeah!

 

Yesterday.

Drove it with the kid max pro tune, extremely happy!

Hit 10k, changed the oil (for the fourth time)

Rotated tires (with spare) and finally installed the splash guards from @Stoked4. Put the stock ones over them because why not.

 

I think that is my old truck. Did you get it in Altoona PA

 

Checked your channel out last night. Awesome truck, great content. Good job on both!

 

I put these in the other day. I stuck a plastic trim removal through the front and they just wiggle out with no damage. Might put the oem back in, these are too bright I think, have you seen your reverse camera at night yet???

Get the KDMax Pro tune. Not just for fuel mileage or performance but also for driving enjoyment. Find someone near you that has the tune that will let you test drive their truck. Then you’ll know.

 

Wow, that’s great. Any idea if he’s still doing these, looks like there hasn’t been movement in the thread in quite a while

 

As far as I know both products are still available.

I think everything i have done so far is a result of this forum and impulse!

 

@sphinxbccp

 

May want to verify the LEDs are facing downward

 

Overlanded to Starbucks…

Got a venti hot dirty chai, and a regular black coffee. I’ll let you guess which one is mine.

Hint: I have a RTT and shit bolted all over my truck
