What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Extra points for having the dog in the pic! Looks good!

 

They are 285 75 r16s.
Actually going to adjust the coilovers this week to get maybe an inch of lift back since adding the bumper and winch.

 

lookin like the bat mobile, very nice!

 

Just finished installing the ECGS bushing. Took about two hours start to finish including clean up. One less thing to do before I tackle the lift. Beer time!

 

I've watched a video on this and think I already know the answer, but maybe you can confirm for me.

Is it possible to check whether this was done without having to replace anything like gaskets (which might've gotten mangled while checking)?

I paid a shop to do this and am not convinced they did based on their hackjob on other parts of the truck. But they sure did charge me ($450) for the work! I'd really like to confirm they actually completed the ECGS and didn't F it up royally, if I could.

The video I watched it looked pretty intensive to get down to the bearing/bushing, and seemed like maybe some gaskets get destroyed in the process.

Thanks for any info you can provide!

 

Easy to confirm. Unfortunately need to pull out the axe to check. So you will need to do 1/2 the job. If your seal is in good shape you could reuse it. I would just replace it, cheap enough.

 

put on the pro grille from taco garage

 

Finally found a used soft topper rear windshield…. Spray it with some plasti dip! We good to gooo

 

Why? Legit question, no smartass.

 

Installed the caliraised hidden light bar. Thanks to @onequarteratatime for the great price and superb packaging. I swear that thing could've been air dropped and survived.


Also installed what I thought were going to be bumper covers. Got them from Facebook marketplace. When I received them they were shipped in a plastic bag with some bubble wrap stuffed in it. After my cussing fit I opened them up and saw the were actually replacements. Cheap replacements. So I contacted the seller and told them I wanted a refund. He issued a refund and told me just to keep the parts.



Since they were basically free, I figured I'd throw them on and see how they look. I think they look okay, but, don't expect them to last. They're probably half the thickness of the OEM ones

 

Any know the part numbers of the plastic grommets that come with the OEM remote tailgate lock kit? I'm not wanting to drill in mine to make room for the harness. I got the R4T kit.

TIA

 

Wiped the dust off, put it on 3.5 inches of wood blocks, removed the stock exhaust without cutting it.

 

I've got a set of stock plastic grommets ($free) if you wanna save the $$$ and not risk damaging yours, (assuming potential damage is the reason you don't want to drill.)

If nobody finds the P/N I will check my build photos later, I definitely took a shot of all the parts and have their # somewhere around here.

Edit: (not mine) PK3B6-35JSO

 

Got bored, tried something different. Always removable by pulling on the end and it unravels by itself.“How much paracord you want?”
“Yes.”

 

Yeah I'll take them. Pm me a price for shipping

 

I would like this same light. Can you pass along the info. Thanks.

 

First step in my SSO slimline/ 30" Baja Designs light bar/ Diode Dynamics SSC2 ditch light project: installing these military terminals for the Blue Sea fuse block and circuit breaker. Bumper is due to arrive tomorrow, and the rest of the wiring and the bumper/ light install will have to be next weekend. I am both excited and nervous...

 

Bought this one from a member, but, it's the caliraised light bar and mounting brackets.

I would recommend the combo light bar. The edge lights throw light to the sides while the middle lights throw forward.

 

I have the same OE bracket and have been told by people to be careful of the sharp corners it comes with from the mfg. Apparently at least a couple people have had shorts due to insulation being worn off.

Haven't installed mine yet, but plan to chamfer before paint/install.

 

Haha yep, my first step was knocking all of the edges down, prior to painting it. Yeah they were all pretty sharp, but it's a nice bracket, exactly what I was looking for. Will have to mount the little relay box I'm building to the lid of the stock fuse box but should work pretty well I reckon
