What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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

 

I think it’s mostly the manuals? I had one of the oe, but it looked uncomfortably close to the brake wire. So I sorta trimmed it. I ended up buying a blank tray from power trays. But oe supplied me with the clutch fluid relocation part.

 

Installed Dual battery kit from genesis offroad with group 34 AGM batteries from Odyssey. Will install solar panels and control charger soon.

Working on chrome delete on the interior, gonna have to paint these MGM meso pieces as my OCD won’t let me keep them mismatched. Going to strip the cup holder surround and pick up some color match paint them paint the meso pieces at the same time.

 

Posted this in another thread today; here's the color I used when deleting some chrome (because Meso doesn't currently make a MT cupholder or shift collar replacement.)



The cupholder is having some adhesion issues, but that's more on my crappy prep than the paint.

 

Ditched the stock Entune junk for a Joying CarPlay receiver. We’ll see how long it lasts but for the price and ease of install, it can’t be beat.

 

awesome, thanks!

 

My old windshield was cracked. Didn’t wanted to spend $80 on a new one . Got a used one off a member.

 

Why d6is you paint it?
