What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That stance looks really nice. What wheels and tires did you go with size/offset wise? I’m leaning towards 280/285 and the -17 scs wheels with a -10 offfset.

 

Sadly I don't think you're wrong. Then again, when everything goes EV you won't have any use for a traditional gearbox to speak of. Even a two speed transmission will be rare. I just wish we could get an EV that looked good, handled well, wasn't 1,000lbs+ overweight, and didn't have an ADAS-first design focus.

Hopefully when we come back to the mainland my wife and I can start building the 7,000sqft garagemahal we've been designing. Then I can get down to work building the vehicles that the industry won't. Like maybe an EV fourth gen K 1500, maybe even an old CUCV. Or EV rail-buggy.

 

Thinking of making the swap to an upright fridge for my rear seat delete deck. Anyone got some input?

Probably do a dometic crx80

 

Thanks, 285/75 on 17x8.5 -10

 

I would be interested to see the plans for Garagmahal!!! I have a kernel of a plan for my own that will happen when we move in a few years. Mine will house all of my play things, including a mountain bike repair area, and a full on stage for my bands to practice on, as well as maybe host small shows...

 

Raised her up today. Hoping to keep some caster without sacrificing camber. Driving it on to the rack shortly!

 

Hit 40K!



Installed new 24F AGM battery and battery hold down kit to replace my original 2016 OEM battery (edit: rear j bolt has been cut).



Also installed Kicker KS 3-Ways in the front doors about a week ago (already have Subaru Kicker KS tweeters in dash). They sound great!

 

I need those Kickers...

 

Factory head unit? If so, which one? (JBL / non-JBL)? Any other mods to the sound system? (outside of what you write here?)

 

washed and sealed it this weekend. prob didn't need it as its parked in the garage and only driven on weekends but it can't hurt

 

For those of you who have replaced the bed side decals, I want to go to all black, after the install are there just individual letters left or a large clear covering over everything

 

its all together

 

What is that extra piece in the Kicker adapter harness?

 

Factory head unit (non-JBL). No other sound system modifications and no plans to swap head units or add amps anytime soon which is why I went with the Kicker KS series...they are a bit more sensitive and seem to do better with lower wattage factory head units.

 

Those are the supplied in-line crossovers which you have to splice into the factory adapters. All you need is wire strippers/crimpers...everything else was supplied via Kicker/Crutchfield.

 

it depends. oem will be one large decal, if you buy off etsy or other places a lot of them are individual letters...

 

Finished up the clazzio PVC seat covers. Added the eBay seat warmers with the rocker switch that installs in the dash and looks stock. I did the back and bottom just didn’t take a pic of that. Have not wired them up yet.

 

Got some fresh geolandars. Finally got rid of my 11 year old wranglers and I couldn’t be happier

 

I take my key fob and put it on my pass around my neck. I've never been too worried about losing it but have seen plenty of people lose keys and I have helped ski patrol search for keys with metal detectors after closing. It's more of a peace of mind that if something ever does happen I have a way to get in my truck and get wherever I need. Also my wife doesnt know about it so I'm waiting for that chance when she uses my truck to prank her by stealing it. Hopefully that will really make her not want to borrow my truck again.

 

Indeed, you can go up to 8" above the prop rod height. And for those concerned about too much height, you can set the hood height during installation to whatever height you want, to make sure you don't hit the ceiling or put the hood out of your own reach .
