What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Wheels and tires look good! Still debating on what size I should get

 

Thanks! I want to mess with mine bc they squeak

 

Definitely going to get the meso smoked turn signals! Debating on what tails to get to get rid of the chrome. Not sure on the light plate though. Why is that space there in the first place?

how hard was the oem tailgate lock?

 

Are the meso even tinted? I saw clear and red. The alpha Rex and winjet I was looking at are darker.

 

You feel it improved your mpg?

 

Not tinted, but flat black internal housing so similar.

 

Just got the truck dyno'd. Numbers are for 2021 Sport with stock drivetrain.

 

Yes

 

Any fuse issues ? Debating on these or the alpha Rex.

 

Added two LED strips under the truck two 4 foot strip.
I tapped into the dome light signal.

Showed up after almost 3 months, couldn’t justify spending $400 on a CAI when the truck comes with one already.. added an AFE dry drop in. Definitely prettyed up the underhood with an oem feel. Also included shiny hose for the little valve and pressure sensor, and pressure sensor relocate mount. Everything is of excellent quality..

 

Got a pair of 1.5 watt solar panels today, going to stick them on the windshield and wire them down to the battery to keep my system topped up while the truck is parked. They are smaller than sun visors, so they should fit in the top part of the windshield where the visors are when flipped down.

 

I'll be interested to see how that works out. I find that I already have trouble seeing street lights even with the seat bottomed out.

 

They are pretty small panels, about as wide as a ice breakers mint container, But I will put them up tomorrow and get some pictures to show how they look installed.

 

This picture just convinced me I need to get rid of the chrome in mine.

 

Test fitted some snow chains for the “new” tire size. Tires have actually been on since 2020 Q1, but I’m barely getting chains for them since I didn’t really do much Winter/snow wheeling during the Ronapocalypse. It looks like these fit the wider 33’s okay. Gotta do a bit more adjustments to get them fitting tighter, but they wrap around nicely.


Also, I went ahead and got a new cabin air filter at the O’Reilly Auto Parts to change out the dirty one. I normally go to Walmart for this, but this one’s Made In USA. I’ll give it a shot.

 

agreed, and don’t try to church it up with red or blue accents either. I made this mistake and now I’m deleting red. Goddam it.

 

Is that all? I though my truck was missing a couple of cylinders. Some real tire shredding HP and TQ there.

 

It’s really not that bad just time consuming. The biggest pain in the ass for me was reinstalling the plastic clips that keep the harness from rubbing on the tail gate and bed’s bare metal. I was happy I did it at ~275 miles on the ODO because everything was nice and clean underneath. Check out a few YouTube videos and shoot me a PM if you get stuck.
