What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Agreed, the black looks great.

 

Swapped out the chrome trim on the grille for black trim. Also added MESO's headlight trim.

 

I think I kinda dig it in black. You gonna make the scoop functional or is it just an aesthetic choice?

 

Need some help…. Anyone do the viper cut with 265/17/70 tires on stock suspension? I’m waiting till I need new tires todo and lift and get 33” but really want todo the viper cut. If anyones has done this on a 3rd gen before bigger tires and lift lmk and post pics if possible. Here’s some pics of my truck. Thanks.

 

Put her on ice.

 

I've nothing to offer, just curious. Are you wanting to viper cut because of current rubbing? Or just in preparation for going bigger?

 

I live in Mass they salt the shit out of everything - I shove my lawn sprinkler under the truck after I get it washed. Also had the frame rust recall done and they pressure wash it before application.

 

After the camper shell was installed yesterday, I added the Prinsu rack to it this morning. Oh, and I fixed their shitty wiring install, because they wired the center stop lamp to the left turn signal post… Morons.

 

Looks kinda cool flat black. Light won't reflect into the cab as bad if you install lights on the rack...

 

Added DD reverse light kit.

 

Diode Dynamics SS3 Max

 

Good choice, you will love them

 

With all due respect, if you knew what you were looking at, you'd see they're a diy version and not a commercially available product.

 

Seatjackers are finally installed. So much more comfortable!

 

Silly things...
I installed some Christmas gifts today. Tuffskins color match interior trim pieces to break up the black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black interior.

Also, put on the ScreenProtech clear screen protectors for the Nav and Instrument cluster. A word if I may...

I don't really like the shitty OEM instrument cluster screen. Who does? It's swept down instead of up so, it's a catch-all/shelf for dirt and shit. Impossible to clean without scratching. In 2 years I've cleaned it twice to avoid scratching it. Failed. Bought the screen protectors. Fucking garbage!!! Got the kit with "extras" for when you fuck up, just in case. Well, the Nav screen protector is flat and easy to get to. Worked and worked, and still got bubbles in it. Looks like ass. I'll likely have to replace it. Went to the instrument cluster and it was, well, a clusterfuck. Working around the steering wheel with my giant-ass hands is bitch! I threw the first one in the parking lot (i picked it up) because I got so fucking mad! Went and got the wife (she has patience) and she worked and worked on the 2nd one, and still got bubbles in it. I only left it on because it's better than shitty OEM plastic.

I hate screen protectors. Truly. I hate them on my phone, too. They are at best, a compromise. I'm NOT saying ScreenProtech makes a bad product, they don't. I'm just saying the concept sucks. It is only, only, only slightly better than scratching my OEM plastic. I had to go inside and drink something afterwards.

Did I say "fuck" enough? Did I? Hmmmmm.....

Oh, I also washed it, cleaned the interior and vacuumed it for the very first time in 2 years!

 

i like the look and for preparation for bigger tires down the road. Just don’t want to make the move if it looks stupid with smaller tires. I mocked it up a little bit ago. Don’t think it will look that bad.

 

Right, but how do you feel about screen protectors?

 

Almost finished with my drawer system. Just going to rhino line and install.

 

Just trying to help - if you have any screen protechs left to try - I watched this video first made it pretty easy to install.

Gotcha...I'm sure it would look fine.
