What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Did my first DIY oil change on this truck so I could work toward saving some money on these in the future. Got a box of Havoline, the same as the mechanic down the street, for $22 at Walmart. Installed a fumoto valve and even got to use it because apparently 6qt is too much oil so I had to empty some out already. The screw-in funnel was just amazing. The filter drain tool was absolutely brilliant. A totally worth it set up made everything pretty mess free. I look forward to the next one in a year now that everything is set up correctly and draining will be a breeze.

 

Macgregor?

 

Nice to see someone else running the stadium wheels!

 

Did my first oil change using the MotivX kit. Really nice. Also installed Fumoto valve, rotated tires and checked bolts underneath for torque.

Was doing so good. Hadn't spilled a drop. After loosening filter housing I dropped the tool, socket and extension right in the oil pan with 6 quarts of oil in it. Lol Can't take me anywhere.

 

Dealer finally got the correct rails in so I now have the right tonneau cover with rails I can utilize for a bed rack.



Retraxone XR.

 

Where did you get that funnel. About to buy that and the valve lol

Those were the first set of wheels i got whem i first got my truck. Now i have scs ray10

 

Took it on an adventure, camping at one of our favorite spots

 

This is on my list of to do for the truck. I wonder if the kit is compatible with the metra harnesses/kicker key harness setup?

 

After installing my anytime camera my ditch light wireharness decided to blow a fuse. Anyone know why this may happen? Lol


NVM it just randomly started working again. I need to go to bed

 

What tent is this? I am having a hard time finding that will work with the Leer.

 

Installed the Cali-Raised bumper light bar and TRD skid plate today.

 

Thank You!

I have the same set-up and look forward to doing my oil change next month, July!

First, I celebrate the entire month of June because it's my Birthday Month!!!

 

how does anybody feel about the way the oil filter is designed? do you wish it was a metal spin on type like most vehicles?

 

Best mod so far: wheel vinyl and TRD center caps

 

I kinda like the design and ease of installation of the new style. The MotivX kit with the drain tube works well.

 

Love my Retrax. Hope you love it too.

For the future (esp if shady dealer trying to save/squander/steal a buck skimped on the drain installation) <--- cynic in me (also alliteration)

That looks amazing! Where'd you get the center caps and the vinyl?

 

Nice. I haven't seen that many painted.
Just say no to raptor lights.
