What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Lol it feels pretty good, hasn't caused any sweating yet.

 

An object hit the top passenger side of my windshield while barely entering the freeway last night. Crack is from top to almost halfway down the windshield instantly.

 

Not the OP but I’m getting ready to install mine as well. I think I’ll put mine in the drivers side taillight cavity; no drilling required. Just my.02

 

What’s the purpose of this relocation?

 

To prevent the introduction of water inside the differential when fording water.

lol, I just installed the Level 1 tail light mod from Meso and I can see everything behind me. Also, one of the perks of having a manual is that I can now pop it out of gear and touch the reverse switch without actually putting it in reverse while going down the interstate to annoy those that can't seem to figure out what the blue flying bullet light is on their dash.

 

Yes, if I drilled any closer to the door I wouldn’t have been able to get it back in place so go a bit deeper if you go by the gashole

 

Looks good, I'm still looking for those center caps. Cant find them to save my life..

 

Prinsu is off in prep for the roof wrap tomorrow morning.. truck looks almost naked without it.



Upgrading to stainless hardware while it's off.. these are the stock main roof bolts after about a year.

 

i was debating the tail light too. I think it’s safer and no drilling. To be honest I’ve been holding off debating between the 2.

 

Awesome thanks! I’ve been debating a location so this helps a lot.

Looks better in person. Don't see the gold color showing up in the pics.

 

I
Had a rock hit about the same location and cracked out an inch and a half instantly. Makes me wonder if it’s a weak spot the way the glass is curved there?

 

Just put my rack on and was wondering how these bolts would hold up. I might swap them out after seeing this. I may encapsulate them in silicone also. It would make removing them more difficult but I don’t plan on removing them often.

 

At least that is generally covered by insurance. Could've been worse. Could've hit the paint.

 

Probably 'coz of how instantaneous the crack showed up after I heard something hitting it. Now need to figure out if insurance will let me use the dealership to replace it so I don't have to worry about any issue with the recalibration. If not, I guess Safelite it is.

 

Yeah ... checked it right away if the object bounced off the roof after hitting the windshield ... whew! That would have been worse.

 

Truth! Or that!!! The insurance covered that one…it was also a tire not a rock.
