What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Welp, woke up the next day and the vinyl inserts I made had popped out. The vinyl was pretty thick and was not "permanent."



So today I peeled the remainder off and put on some new (sparkly) stuff that is permanent, and then heat cured it so it'll hopefully hold shape.

The vinyl needs three days to cure, so the center caps can be installed Sunday and then these wheels are finally done.

Sucks though, no reputable vinyl maker produces fluorescents or vibrant holographics in a permanent vinyl for some reason. In fact, it seems like industry-wide all the permanent vinyls are much muddier than their removable counterparts.

 

She tried, but I like pain.

 

It's all good. He makes me laugh and I like pain so it all works out.

 

That's what soup cans and hose clamps were made for! Tape will rust that pipe in two months.

I'm waiting to see the first Taco with Lake pipes and cut outs ;-)

 

There's a third bolt behind the bumper...

 

DFW Snow Storm 2022-1

Yep, we all got a dose of the white stuff today. Too bad it has freezing rain and sleet underneath it. The DFW Metroplex took a Snow Day today. These are my front and back yards in Allen.





Tomorrow I got to drive 40 miles across this Metroplex one way so I will get to try out the 4x4 action for quite a while. One of the reasons I got a 4x4, is the DFW ice stuff.

 

How hard was it to put those on>?

 

Looks like a Ram !

 

I used frog painters tape as a precaution. Worked quite well actually.

 

Finished my tail gate grill. Money spent- $0 hurtful words from wife- ear plugs. getting to cook literally anywhere cuz she said I should be more productive, priceless

 

dirtied up my BU sensors today - screen would never go away

 

this is awesome. can we see more on this? like how the stove is set in? does it latch in somehow or you take it in and out when you want to use? does it sit flush when the lid is closed? also the propane tank.. is it just free hanging or you got it clipped somehow to the bed?

 

Can I borrow your wife or anyone's wife for this purpose?

Jk!

Seriously it is partially up. That's the adjustments I mentioned. I was rummaging around for something heavy the other day before work, and as I walked out, I noticed two Coke crates with about 6 2 litres in them. When weather is a wee bit warmer, those crates should (hopefully) serve as a decent weight.

 

Did you purchase the HD Cover or the SE model?

 

Those new mud flaps look good, too.

 

To answer, it's a permanent mount. Stays in all the time. The lid is hinged so you still have full use of the tailgate. I secured the burners and pipe with pipe hanging strap and the grill itself I found in the garden one day. The propane tank is just to check it. I'm integrating a full size to run my on board fridge so it'll do both and it'll be out of the way. And in case anyone was wondering, a cooked up a backstrap from this year's deer as a way to break it in the right way.

 

That is the most AvE thing I've seen in a while. Well played!
