What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Reserved it.

 

Some of the electrical bits are still en route but with a wheelin trip this weekend I’ve temporarily wired my OBA setup and protected it from mud. Then a test last night, fill time from 18psi to 32psi is only 45sec!

Also changed the oil and deleted that pesky sway bar

 

Was never happy with painting the letters. They're curved and humped which makes it unpossible to make it look professional so I Plasti Dipped the whole damned thing.

 

Well, now you have to do the airbox and tube too so that they match.

 

Mine came out great, too!

Thanks for the idea.

 

Over the course of the past couple weeks (mainly due to shipping and stock issues) installed URD ypipes and Borla S-Type cat back exhaust system.

Couldn't get a picture of the ypipes since I did this all with the truck level on the ground. I have the Billie 5100s, so I figured it would give me enough clearance for the install.

I initially installed the ypipes by themselves with the stock exhaust and oh my gosh, the sound was embarrassing. There was definitely a rattle can sound. My fiance said it sounds like the truck was struggling.

The exhaust finally came in and what a Christmas miracle! It sounds like a truck again, and it doesn't drone much or have ANY rattle can noise. Love the Borla system!

 

My first post. Just installed my Eibach pro kit about a month ago and I thought I would share. It's currently on the 2nd perch and I also left in the overload spring.

So far so good. At first it was real choppy but aft 700ish miles its a lot smoother. But a little stiff compared to factory.

I'll try to post more once my new wheels come in today.

 

Did the led headlight upgrade last night and I love these headlights. I did get the pros just bc they were already blacked out although I don’t have a oem pro

 

That’s great what brand are those?

Picked up a nice little recovery kit to keep it the truck. Seems like nice stuff

 

A couple coats for the day

 

Yeah those are clean af!

 

Just added some new Wheels and tires

 

nice first post!

Welcome!

 

Temps shot up one final time before what I suspect is the winter cold temps set-in so I gave it a quick scrub and a quick coat of Chemical Guys sprayable carnuba. I've got Opti-Seal, Jet Seal and V07 layered so another can't hurt. At some point I need to start looking at ceramic, but this will do for now.

The red is still a polarizing decision. It won't be red next year, but it's fun in the mean time.

The fun thing about having a "winter mode" is it's like having two different trucks depending on the time of the year compared to the "normal look" I run the other three seasons.
