What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Do you have the red Meso dome lights - if so how do you like it being all red?

 

That looks great! The stripe match to the wheels really ties it in well!

 

I have the MESO Dual Maps and Dome lights - absolutely love the look with the red footwell lights.

 

Even better!

 

Thanks, that does look good!

Has anyone used these before? Seems like a great idea.

 

Looks useful but I already find the leg room less than desirable I think this would annoy me.

 

I've had wheelskins on for a couple of years now and I'm glad I chose them.
I took the time to disassemble and glad i did. Not hard at all. Just take your time. Patience is the key. The leather is great quality and has a soft feel to it. In time the leather molds into your hands to have that perfect grip when broken in like a baseball glove.
I've had several vehicles that I kept for over ten years with no wheel coverings and they have worn out and degraded to its rubber layer.
Overall, I'm very satisfied I did it and the comfort that you get from years of driving.

 

Cleaned up dried toe jam after 11K of driving.

 

I love lexol cleaner and conditioner

I have heard it's worth it. With the rise of them being stolen, it's a great theft deterrent. The difference (from what I've read) between this and the CBI/RCI armor is: It has wings on the side designed to specifically protect and cover the catalytic converter; thus making it a lot more difficult to cut the cat and yank it off.

The CBI/RCI Armor is just a long flat plate running under your truck. The cat is still exposed and can easily be cut.

(Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this).

 

I have them and find them handy. You may need to use 3M tape to replace what the manufacturer uses to attach them.

Finished winterizing my truck. Added my block heater and transmission pan heater, so now I have those plus the oil pan heater and battery maintainer routed to a 4 way outlet box I installed near the fuse box.

there were some holes in the fender from the factory that just so happened to be the same size as the bolts I took off the factory splash guards I took off when I installed the TRD Pro skid plate. That made finding the right size bolt and washer easy.

i took the box apart and drilled a hole through it, bolted it to the fender with some blue locktite and put everything back together, then routed the cord out through the front bumper.

Now when I plug in at work my truck should be a lot happier when I start it up at -35.

 

I have that same cat armor you installed and it does the job as a theft deterrent. However, on the offraod part and when it matters most clearing obstacles, it would not hold up and would cave in and with weight, tension on the bolts, they would pop out or come loose. Since it's made of alloy, it would not hold up when the weight of your truck would go over a rock, logs, hill mounds, etc. My cat armor caved in and was up against the catalytic and transmission surrounding area.. I wished I took a pic of it..

I replaced it with the RCI STEEL transmission skid plate. I really wanted the cat armor to work for offroad and wanted to see if the cat armor would hold up to offroading, clearing sketchy areas where you would need skid plates. Unfortunately it did not. My test and .02 cents..

With RCI full skid plates, It would also make it difficult to fit an angle grinder or saws-all in that catalytic area to cut. But soon I will have a flare to cover the sides. I sold (practically gave) my cat armor to a Taco owner who wroks in the city in a rat and thieves infested area.
