What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I’d like to know more about this setup! Looks great

 

Switch pros thread has a ton of info as well.

Website says that doesn't fit an AC.

 

Congratulations to you and yours. My family hasn't produced a girl since 1914 - we have the dullest gender reveal parties.

 

Looks great! I see you're in Washington, who did the coating for you and would you recommend them to others?

 

Diff skid installed. The difference in ground clearance was 3/4 of an inch. Stock- floor to the bottom of the diff (lowest point) was 12 inches, after install 11 1/4. Install vid will be up soon.

 

Show me the porn and let me decide.

 

You sure that's shrink tube?

 

I also put some high inside the hood. Figured if I was broke down (& not able to illuminate) then the rescue party coming to me head-on would see me sooner with the reflective tape popping out at them. I'd have to have the hood fully open, of course. But that is the international sign of vehicle distress, so...

I used black tape that reflects white, because it was the front.

 

You can always punch one or two of the bed bolts through it to secure.

 

When Caddy hung their badge on that Cavalier I knew they were done as a respectable auto maker. Sheesh.

 

Installed a row of AC outlets on the back of my console last night.

 

Ran wires down the drive side frame with zip ties. The battery cables were long enough to reach. The switch inside the cab wires were not long enough, I had to add about 2 feet of wire to make it inside the cab.

 

Very nice set up. Couple of questions as I plan on something similar down the road. SwitchPros says a bus bar, terminal block, fuse block and circuit breakers are not required. Are your breakers and fuse block separate from the SwitchPro? I get the bus bar and terminal block, they make the connections cleaner and easy. Does our breaker setup interfere with the stock fuse box?

 

How are these powered? On when the ignition is on or are they on a separate switch?

 

One more thing added to the Amazon shopping list.

 

They run to the inverter under the console for the bed outlet so it's a basic parallel tap and grounding to the oem grounding point. I'll see if I can't find the link to the thread I used to do mine.

 

I'm not sure if your model has an onboard inverter oem but if it does this guys tutorial is extremely straight forward. I didn't do the anytime 400w because I haven't found the need yet but with 3 ac in the cab too that may not be too far off.

Little trick I learned from my 4Runner. Hold the patch to headliner, twist it back and forth, then side to side. It should grab. If not just keep doing that until it grabs.

 

The first thing I looked into doing but MESO didn’t have any at the time.
