What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

my old set up was prety heavy, canopy/ tent/ ect and running 35's and it feels like it picks the rear tires up

new set up is much lighter and man it stops on a dime

 

Added some red decals to the engine cover.

 

Bought an OEM hard tonneau all mounting hardware included for $200. Except it's missing the front pin and the two bolts it needs....which I noticed and figured whatever....BUT the 12, scratch that, 11 bolts he gave me aren't the OEM bolts and aren't the right size. I still feel like it's a good deal, I would have bought it either way. Just wish the person would have said up front that he didn't really have ALL the hardware. Probably why he sent his cute girlfriend to meet me, figured I wouldn't hassle her.

Now I just need to figure out what size those bolts are so I can go buy them....I could order the OEM bolts but I want to put the damn thing on..... lol

 

5000lb trailer weight on the enclosed 4900lb on the flat bed those ome leafs are intense truck not squatting at all, the redarc trailer brakes are amazing! I am towing the enclosed one to Alaska with the taco and the flat bed will be behind the f350.

 

Well, dealership said it's not leaking and was residual oil from the change. I took it home and cleaned it up... again. Now to check it again after the next drive.

 

Took it to dinner

 

Just put in a new battery, the old one gave very little warning that it was on its way out. Weak start this morning and no start at lunch.
I can’t feel too bad about the stock battery getting almost 6 years and 78,000 miles, but the new one was almost $200!

 

Photo shoot and then the first wash/wax!

 

I was just at the air park on mcchord and thought about doing the same thing! Looks great!

 

Added a headache rack and rails.

 

Thank you! I’m loving this truck

 

Awesome truck in the best color.. but I’m partial I guess.

 

Installed some engine bay lights. Used sealed LEDs mounted underside and a waterproof switch up front just behind the headlight in an existing hole.
Simple, cheap, super effective. Lights are marine grade from Academy sports. Switch from Amazon.

 

Tufskinz finally shipped after about 3 weeks.

 

That purple is wild!

 

OEM power tailgate lock and Noco Genius 10 charger for my Wally World 24F agm. Also ordered an off grid engineering battery strap, but I've been told about 2 weeks until it ships.

 

Threw some new tie rods and Warfab tie rod sleeves on.

 

Nice mine came in yesterday. While I was waiting on them, I started thinking about changing out the rack to the beefier LC rack. Do you have any plans on upgrading your rack.

 

I finally received the tanks from Poland. Game changer for sure.

 

Does this count?
I like the Off-Road wheels. I just don't care for the silver accents. So I found some matte black decals.


Bonus! Wifey came outside to check out my progress. And she suggested we either powder-coat, or buy some new wheels.
