What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

So, thanks to @MESO, was able to fix my taillights today. Nice and bright and the turn signal is now the correct color. I think everybody has seen enough photos of the before and after though.

One thing I was wondering while rooting around in there, what are these?

 

Personally I think the Weathertech mats are the worst to clean and the Husky mats are the worst to handle because they're sharp af. The 9th Generation Mitsubishi Lancer weathertech mat infront of the drivers seat is nearly impossible to remove once its installed because its so stiff. I've detailed two of them and we had to loosen the drivers seat mounting bolts to take the mats out

 

I think those are for the bed lights you’ve yet to buy?

 

Plug for the LED bed lights?

 

Ahhh, ok. Thank you.

 

That is correct!

Those come off and the harness is used for plug & play OEM LED Bed Lights!

Bed Lighting Kit: $50.57
Bed Mat: $83.09

New hood

 

I like that. Where'd you get it from on such short notice?

 

Bed lights.

 

Kinda crappy pics, but I just finished up installing the

$160 Midland MXT275 MicroMobile® GMRS Radio – 15 watts Two-Way Radio with Integrated Control Microphone – Overland Caravanning Tractors – Detachable External Magnetic Mount Antenna - 8 Repeater Channels

Midland MXT275 along with the 3db antenna which I mounted on the hood. Sound quality and reception are good, now I just need to program some repeater coeds etc.

 

So he won a free truck? I’m confused lol

 

Nah.

 

Friggin' Love this!

The weapon should be like in the James Bond movie where it only shoots based on finger print recognition.

Local taco FB group. Not exactly what I envisioned but for the price I paid, and on a 1 day time crunch I’m very pleased with it.

 

Removed AVS logo by simply applying a small dab of acetone on a paper towel and a quick lite wipe on the ventvisor. Came off like a dry erase marker.

 

Greased the front propeller shaft. One on each u-joints. Gave it 4-5 pumps before if started oozing out. The rear nipple was a PIA to get to, even after removing the cover. Also, check the propeller shaft torque. The rear propeller shaft are sealed.
Wish I had one of these.
