What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

@45longcolt

Yeah here it is

 

Replaced the SmartCap door with some real hillbilly shit today. Trading the EVOs windoor to another member with an EVOa solid door and gotta get it ready to ship.

 

Did the locking gas cap thing this afternoon,

$32 Stant 10504 Stant Regular Locking Fuel Cap, black

Stant 10504, hoping it's the right one. I'll know tomorrow if its going to cause any lights to come up on the dash. I couldn't get the retaining ring off the stock cap without damaging it so I pulled the whole thing out.

 

From all the reading I have done I hate to say that looks counterfeit. It’s supposed to have an S on the twist handle

 

The flag upside down represents a "distress" signal generally speaking. There's more to it actually but, that's mostly it where I'm concerned. I'm in distress because I watch the news. But I don't want to say anything more political lest I get kicked out of the forum for 30 days.

BTW: thanks for the "great build" comment!

 

Even if you leave only a sedan's length, some a-hole will try and squeeze in there.

 

Super hard, not for the faint of heart. Big mod today…

 

Yeah, that "S" should be stamped on there...

 

Actually...no. My wife likes Punk, I don't care for it The "US" and "flaming bomb" sticker is for the U.S. Army Ordnance insignia. I used to have a collection of M1903 Springfield rifles (military issue) and as an Ordnance issued weapon, they had the insignia along with month/year of manufacture stamped on the barrel, on the top, just rear of the front sight. Often, "U.S" was replaced with the initials of another barrel manufacture, usually indicates an armory rebuild. The "SA" in this one represents Springfield Armory.

 

@FreshMexicanTaco pro grille today. I fumbled with the raptor lights for a couple hours and opted not to. I gotta unfuck my wiring situation under the hood before I add more.

superior quality grille that came preassembled with the garnish and letters already on. Super stoked and glad the last bit of chrome is gone

 

Loading the latest KDMAXX tune! My first time flashing the ECU.

 

Looks awesome! What about the headlights?

 

I just wish people would walk down the street and behave like this to each other. You see a lot more black eyes and broken noses if they behaved like this directly to each other.

 

lol I fn knew someone was gonna ask about that. Maybe once they go out or I hit something

 

Rich people with new cars can’t drive for shit. They might be able to pay for it, but they lie through their teeth also. I try not to park next to anyone if I can help it.

 

Lol! I don’t blame you, they’re super expensive! Truck looks awesome though for sure!

 

Didn’t really mean rich looking cars. Just new enough the owners are probably more paranoid than me about a door ding. If you have sliders just park between a couple of Civics or something.

 

I actually thought that myself based on the info in the different threads here. I bought it online from O'Reillys and it doesn't match the picture on their site. They have it in stock locally, I'm going to stop by and compare what's on their shelf to the one I received.
I just have a hard time believing there's an abundance of counterfeit copies of a $15 part at a well known auto parts chain.

 

If you’re in Monterey, well then you know to stay away from any luxury brand vehicle. Lots of dumb money up there.

 

Definitely! Especially if they have a Del Monte Forest (Pebble Beach) badge on the front!
