What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Anyone else feel like it would be a good idea to wrap the exhaust pipe if it's going to be that close to the TC and wedged between it and a thermally reflective surface?

 

The reflection is what hits the camera. It's not the bulb type. That's why I said the bulb type didn't matter. Probably not the best idea to turn off light to back up in most spaces. People already don't pay attention. And that's what the mod is for, it turns off the license plate lights only or you can get the cheap $10 covers. If you haven't look it up, please do. The pictures show a noticeable difference.

 

Finally got around to installing my lift, Ray10s, and new tires. And then a wash!

 

Haven't posted in awhile, but I gave the truck a wash yesterday. Today, I put on the Squareone Creations' frame caps.

NOW YOUR FRAME IS GOING TO FOLD IN HALF DURING A LIGHT DRIZZLE AND YOU WILL DIE IN A FENDER BENDER!!!111

(In case you missed it... some people got really offended about these frame caps. It was hilarious.)

 

Got my Summer Tires and Rims on today. Winter tires are on the Original Rims and have at least 4 Winters left on them still. I will see how my Original Tires last but not a fair test because my driving with the cost of Gasoline now will be a trip to town once a week to get food. This is about 30 miles a week and I have enough gas to drive for one year at that rate at home! Could just say screw it and not buy anymore I have 3 cars topped off and 50 gals of Premium non-alcohol with 100 gals of Diesel to run my Tractor for a year. Bought it for $3.40 a gallon now worth $200.00 more. Even my Premium is worth over $100.00 more and that is going up every day. I feel for people driving to work every day! Just glad I though ahead while seeing what was happening!!

 

Ha! I didn't realize that! I'll have to search back and read about it. They don't seem much different than the flimsy caps that were in there.

 

Real question?? Why did you remove them??

 

You know how any times I've put my truck into 4WD when all I wanted to do was turn up the fan?

 

Don't take the bait. Seriously.

 

Installed Cali Raised MOLLE bed paneling on my 2018 DCLB

 

Got home from work.. pushed the "start" button two or three times wondering why it would shut the engine down. Turned out I was pushing the 4wd knob. I had a long day.

 

What have I done today? Opened the box.

 

Good, I’m not the only one

 

Swapped my SS3 ditch lights for SSC2's. I don't know why but these DD brackets seem ridiculously tall. They probably aren't, but whatever. I should have gone with the SSC2's for how rarely I use the ditch lights anyways and I do like the look better. Much smaller profile. In the SS3's I had a combo pattern, and in the SSC2's I opted for just the driving pattern. Sent my DRT LCA skids to get powder coated to match the TRD skid, so they should be back in a couple days. I was going to go for the R4T ones, but complaints of rusting and not being in stock with no ETA on availability led me to DRT. The quality is great. They don't have full skids or steps though, and I wish they did. I'm going to contact the dealer because my Predator steps are already destroyed. The black paint on the front of the steps is non existent. This is after ONE winter here. I am going to ask them if they will replace them with C4 0 degree sliders and I'll just cover the difference.

 

so bold

 

3?

 

How do you like them? I'm contemplating purchasing the MOLLE panels compatible with my Bakflip cover but I'll lose functionality of the side bed rails. Are the panels sturdy enough to hook straps or cargo net to?

 

Are you using this at your house to park one front tire on?
