What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Added the front fender Geco mod.

 

Installed the OEM LED’s this morning. Somehow managed a tiny scrape that is mostly invisible but still pisses me off. I double taped everything and was extra careful but oh well. They look great, can’t wait for a nighttime drive.

 

The black garnish on the headlights doesn’t look flush. Just the photo? Didn’t consider the color matched MESO CUSTOMS headlight trim to cover that area?

 

I had those head light on my 2018. Got them from Homedepot. Very Nice lights. The only problem was that the UV coating began to flake off after about a year of sun. Something to keep an eye on.

 

One of the side-hustles of just about any nuclear power plant is the collection and sale of helium since it's valuable and a byproduct of nuclear fission reactor operations. Hydrogen can be produced pretty much anywhere though so long as you've got access to water and electricity, and the pure O2 byproduct is valuable in its own right. I saw something the other day about a company that just announced a new tweak to the electrolysis method that makes the process 97 or 98% energy efficient, which is nuts, though end to end efficiency will probably be half that. So hydrogen blimps would be a helluva lot cheaper to run even if they have slightly less load capacity than helium. The only major downside is the fact that hydrogen atoms are so small that they leak through pretty much any container walls over time. Fortunately, being so cheap, that wouldn't be that big of a problem. It's also not like hydrogen is a greenhouse gas or anything. Even I'm not sure why an ex-Army IT guy without even an associate's degree knows this kind of stuff, but here we are.


Dammit... just realized I'm directly contributing to a thread-topic train-wreck again. Sorry everybody.

 

Man that just gave me a panic attack! Must have been the lighting, all is well. Personally not a fan of the trim plates.

 

Definitely something to watch, not really sure how to prevent that. I usually hit my headlights with wax when I’m waxing the rest of the truck. I wonder if there’s any product out there to prevent this though.

 

How did I miss this?

 

Did it save you at least 15% on your car insurance?

 

Merely an optical delusion Diggin the Mobilgas can!

 

Negative’ I asked but this one didn’t speak, no reply.

 

Thanks for the heads up!

 

I wonder the same thing, maybe some kind of clear wrap?

 

I tried waxing and ceramic coating they didn't really help. As far a wrap? You would need to remove the coating first to get a good wrap. (I never got that far.) Ended up selling the that truck and getting the 2021. The 2018 only had 7K miles on it when I sold it.

 

Change my auxbeam housing/bezel to one that @mkamp98 makes. Love the more slimline look. Hit him up. He does great work with fast turnaround.
Before:


After:

 

wow, that looks awesome!

 

yeah if you’ve got it max fold and prop

 

It does. Crazy how little things make a big difference. Looks a lot cleaner and doesnt stick out like the original housing.

 

Got my Baja designs S2’s swapped out for my ditch lights to the Baja designs squadrons. Now to figure out where to put my S2’s for chase lights! Thinking off the side of the prinsu rack.

 

Possibly the simplest, yet most impactful mod for daily use. Couldn't be happier.
