What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Started filling in my Christmas gift- custom 3D printed switch panel for the auxbeam 8-gang. A very helpful little mod

 

I've been looking EBERYWHERE for that switch panel!!! The guy that used to sell them on Etsy no longer does I guess, and his were SUPER clean prints.

 

Huh. That’s odd. My sister just ordered this for me a couple of weeks ago. It’s a very good fit, I will say. The print does look a bit haggered out of the box. But doesn’t look bad at all when installed.

here’s the link I used…

Well he'll, he's back!!! Thanks to your post I looked his etsy up and it looks like he's back at the ol grindingstone. Ordered!

 

Now that my Softopper (finally) came in, I started building my "sleeping platform/pull-out kitchen / Ronco-5000" .

I'm building it out of cabinet grade 3/4" sanded birch with 500lb industrial ball-bearing slides, with a gear drawer, a pantry drawer, a two-burner stove and a utensil drawer with a pop-up cutting board.

 

glad to be of service! This print really is much better then I expected. Not a bad bit of kit

 

Just ordered the Taco Garage dash mount system.. and some Ram mounts!

 

Thumbs up for the innovation and 490cc's

 

Off the inner coupling ring? Once I took the clamp off, I used a long flat head screw driver and rubber mallet and tapped it all around the edge of the coupling ring and it popped out. The hardest part was taking the exhaust tip off the flared part of the exhaust pipe. Had to use lubricant and lots of elbow grease to pull it off.

 

Lubricate then twist and pull and twist and pull and swear and twist and pull then walk away, swear some more, then come back and twist and pull and twist and pull, then it will come off. Ask me how I know.

 

Tough to answer for others, but I have a practical outlook; if you use it to keep ready for a quick get out the door with essentials like recovery gear or what ever you keep for the trail/camp it looks great. If not it may be more practical to use the same approach you voiced for the RTT…pull it out when needed. I’m sure most think it looks cleaner without the case, but many appreciate the utility of the setup and find it attractive. I would keep it.

I have to ask, what is the light (assumption) on the passenger side of your newly acquired rack?

 

Thanks for the input bud
You'll have to tell me what you're seeing as I'm not sure the light you mean

 

Most likely thinking your snorkel is some kind of spot light probably

 

Ohhhh ok, thank you

 

Got me some Baja Designs LP6’S and damn talk about bright.

 

Overall, truck looks great. Is it a daily driver? Then I wouldn't want to drive around with all that crap on top etc. If I only use it for weekends or adventures then I would prob leave it on. If all I did was random drives around town during the week and didn't go far I would prob leave it on as long as it fit in my garage etc.

 

Washed and waxed yesterday. Will post some pics once the rain moves out and I'm not afraid of getting it dirty again.

 

Got a night shot? Looks badass!!
And I like that bumper! Deciding between that and the CBI. Do you like it so far?

 

I have the Raingler loft, and love it. Right now with the cooler weather, a jacket and flannel shirt are up there as well as a rain hat. The only think I wish I had were some of the strings to hold stuff in place. I had some of it come down in the passenger seat on a trail a few weeks back. I have to re-take some pics, mine came out too dark to see much.

Kinda pricey for what it is.
