What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Replaced the map and dome bulbs with LED, I like the color a lot better. Replaced the brake and backup bulbs with LED not long after I bought this '18 and they work great. Thought about license place bulbs but thought they would wash out the camera. My work truck's bed marker lights wash out the mirrors, especially when it rains so I have to turn off the lights to backup.

 

Works pretty slick.

 

Dude- what is it with Portland and letting people camp in abandoned vehicles? (Or other questionable places for that matter). that can’t be good for them

 

Yeah, I was surprised at how well it works.

 

Never fear, there's a couple options for that

My OR is pretty quiet with the AT3 4S Coopers, and smooth but just bit harsh.

 

Thx sphinx, I thought that with so many folks with smoke tinted plate covers, the heck with it. I saw a fella a couple days ago with after-market tail lights that when he got on the brakes it looked like parking lights they were so dim. Man, I want people to see me.

 

I hear they have to adhere to a prescribed pick up and drop off schedule, and they are always behind. That’s why they pass you house six times and don’t drop but then go to some place with scheduled pick up. I got a tracking number from ups the other day, told me they would be switching to usps for local delivery. So my date of delivery went from yesterday to Tuesday. But then yesterday ups showed up with my box. Not complaining at all.

 

Go for it. Not only it protects your truck against deers it also looks good while doing so.

 

Thanks for the reminder. Just ordered a set.

 

SOLD!

 

Nothing exciting on the truck today but just installed a couple of wall-mounted heaters in the garage in preparation for my backlog of truck projects which include the OEM tailgate lock, a SnailArmor tailgate panel, and rock lights using a DSIM wiring harness if I can decide which lights to use. I may also piggyback off of that harness to add bed lights.

 

If you ever hit a deer with that thing I'd imagine a quick spritz of wiper fluid would rinse off whatever bits of aerosolized deer got on the truck.

 

My 2019 Utility has the auto dim feature.

 

Thanks for the info. I just popped onto the Feynlab site. No applicators near me but I'm getting in touch with them for info.

 

How are those seats working out, so far? Are those switches fitted right for our Taco lower panel? I'm about ready to jump on that kit.

 

How hard were the heated seats to install?

 

But you still have to grope around in the dark to find the light.

 

I had some upper plastic bumper rubbing on the sso front bumper, i didn't trim enough apparently during the install. The powder coat they use on their stuff is 100 percent garbage fyi. Im glad i didn't pay for mine to be powder coated, they mistakingly powder coated my order that was supposed to ship bare steel. Its really really really bad, thin, just the worst. Im glad they are switching to in house PC.
It was rubbed to the steel in the two small areas i needed to trim.

Anyways. Obligatory dog and truck photo.

 

Yeah, I had a similar issue... I bought two of the nets. The ones I got came with mini-bungee cords. I keep one (net) in the doggie door. The other is tied to the rails via the rail cleats using the bungee cords. I also bought a second pair of cleats so that if I want to use the second net, I can simply "add a row".
