What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Both.



(you did good at avoiding that answer)

 

I liked this post.

 

You’ll never catch up to me @TartanEagle !

 

You could be the new and modern "Chad's Pride Likes This!" poster...

 

Well f@$! that! I’ll have to change my ways!

 

NO don't do that.

Wasn't my intention to shy you away from a great gig. Everyone likes getting a "like". Keep it going.

 

If you get the time, I would love to see your front and rear mounting locations for the lights. I'm putting 8 on my truck when the weather gets a bit nicer and I think I know where I want them, but would be nice to see options! There isn't too many threads out there on rock lights being mounted and wired up.

@AmateurTaco1313 you as well, I think yours look great! I'd love to see the mounting points of the lights

 

Power washed and this happened



Damn New England

 

What????

What type are those and how long have you had them?

I'd take them off and power-sand everything and properly re-paint so that wouldn't happen.

But then again...power wash is intense! Was there caked-on crap in those areas where the paint chipped off?

 

New wheels and tires on the SoftTaco!
Tires: General Grabber atx (265/70/17)
Wheels Summit Offroad Raptor Wheels in Matt Bronze (-12 offset/17in alloy)
Lugs: Summit Offroad Black lug nuts (12x1.5 Steel)

 

ill get some photos for you next week when I get back from out of town. The front ones I used existing leftover wind valence screws and holes. Middle are on my side steps with the provided kc hilites brackets. Rear got tricky as the passenger side didn’t reach all the way back so it’s mounted through a hole in the frame with zip ties. Driver rear is near the shackle hanger from what I think is a tow point, also secured with zip ties

 

They work on headliner

 

Quality made products, obviously no primer coating before they painted it or they were sleeping that day.

 

New England Salted roads and the liquid salt eats metal overnight

 

I can take a few pictures when I get home later today.
The front lights are mounted on the removable crash bar next to the "Demon" brackets.
The rear lights are mounted on the tow hitch with 3M double sided molding tape.
The mid lights are using the running board mounts on the bottom of the cab.
The hardest to mount was the lights above the tire. They got bolted to the inner plastic liner of the fenders. (that was a PIA)

 

Clean it up with a wire wheel or some sand paper and give it a good coat of Rust-oleum. (rust-oleum stops minor rust) Or you can hit it with some converter. Good thing you found it now. The rust doesn't look too bad. It could be worse.

 

See if there is a local Line-X dealer.
That's what I used on my Billiebars brackets and ditch light brackets.

 

Removed my soft topper for the season and put in the bed rack.

I only use my soft topper in the winter to keep the snow out, but still allow me to put larger things for ice fishing in the bed. In the summer I dont carry things that are much taller than the bed sides, so I switch to bed bars with a basket on them as my kayaks fit under the bars and totes fit in the basket.

 

Hey, Fuck Face!
