What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I did similar with a couple of HFT white cheapo led flippers.

 

They make a matte finish - at least they did. I have one on my 2020 - they sent me one of their early matte finish ones to try.

 

LOVE the red behind the grill!

 

It's been handled appropriately.

 

Tried goo gone on mine and it wouldn't touch it. Will give mineral spirits later today

 

I’d be interested in photos of that setup.
Yeah I see guys upgrade to the alpharex I just thought the oem was bright already.

 

Yeah that Goo Gone stuff is more for adhesives and whatnot. The mineral spirits really just allowed the logo to be wiped away. Here's a way too long vid on it too.

Yea that was my hesitation. Classy taco has a good video on doing it

 

I have a 2021 SR5 , so if I'm reading this correctly , its prewired for the bed lights?

 

I started doing the same...gives me a bit of piece of mind since I haven't replaced my factory spare with a 33" yet.

 

Think the attic is worth it? I’ve heard mixed things, ie says too much when stuff in it

 

Did your stock ones happen to squeak when you pressed them? Wondering if these will. I’m guessing disconnecting the negative keeps everything safe during the install

 

My 2020 SR was prewired, yours should be too. I believe anything 2020 and up is prewired at this point.

 

I will probably do that once I get new black tail lights. Debating on which to get

 

I have the attic in my truck and I use carry rags or store a jacket while I use the back seat for tool storage and I use the cord on the underside to hold my ice scraper. The only problem is anyone over 5'8" sitting in the rear seat is going to hit their head on it but it does remove quickly.
It's one of those things that you can live without but is kinda handy sometimes

 

Went to Bryan Beach yesterday. It was about 82 deg. Water was 66. To cold for my skinny ass.

Had the beach to myself.











Only 66 miles from my house.

 

I've seen a myth buster episode where they tested this theory and having the tail gate up is better than tailgate down for MPG. The best are those strap/mesh cargo tailgates when it comes to gas consumtion

 

Could just tint them. That's what I'm planning to do to knock down the chrome inside the housings for mine.

 

For Christmas the kids, wife and friends gave me things!

BPF (Bulletproof Fabrication)
Shackle brackets drive&pass sides




Weather Tech smoked in channel visors


My neighbor bought me Something I talked about buying. LED light bar for the rear for visibility on our group trail trips on the dust covered Pipeline or the gravel roads on the Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail! A light bar with parking lights /turn signals/reverse/brake led lights!


also still to install

New 8 pod bed lights!
Heavy black canvas seat covers
And some miscellaneous Stickers

 

I didn't have any luck using mineral spirits. Applied a decent amount and scrubbed for several minutes, barely removed anything
