What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I tried that Havoline 6qt on my last oil change and it was super convenient having it all in one container rather than 5qt plus 1. No mess either. Not bad for just over 20 bucks

 

Mud flaps and skids. Still waiting for my sliders.

 

New rims, stock tires.

 

Boiiiiiiiii

 

I spent the first weekend of Southern Oregon's fire season dodging rain while installing my rear seat deletes from Goose Gear. Fairly easy job, but I took my sweet ass time over a couple days. This was my tax return, took 11 weeks from order to delivery.



Did a bit of sound deadening, but an astute observer will noticed I covered all the holes needed to put the trim back on... oops. Also, I wasn't really sure where I could put it without affecting something else.


My fancy work tent. Luckily I can hide out in my shop on the laptop during the harder downpours.

 

Good job. I did the entire cab in sections and that area and the doors had the best results in noise reduction.

 

Thanks, yeah I plan on doing the rear doors next, then the fronts.

I figured removing the seats I better do at least something.

 

Just installed the Morimoto HID kit. Also, broke one of my nails while doing that. +5 hp

 

Cali sliders, cold air intake, OME HD leaf pack (2” lift front and back), Ko2s on Wednesday.

 

Gave it a quickie bath today...yesterday, I got the new to me OEM hard tonneau put on and removed the front air dam. Even though the bed cover didn't have all the screws or the front alignment piece, the big bonus was the guy threw in a precut set of bedrail caps so I still have my uncut caps if I ever want to go back for some reason.

 

man I’ve been following your build and am envious of that color. Looks absolutely incredible

 

Thanks! I’ll post some more pics once I get the Ko2s installed. Ended up going with 32s 265 75/r16. Was going to go with 285s but they would have rubbed the upper control arms on the stock rims (no offset).

 

This is on my to do list also. Makes it look the way it should, uniform.

 

What exactly is that kit? I’ve heard about the fumoto valve but not too install it without some skid plate to protect it

 

I ordered the letters from TuffSkinz.

 

The funnel was on Amazon and it comes with an adapter for Gen2 non-threaded as well. The valve I got from Fumoto's website.

 

I think I'll alternate so on like middle mileage checks where there's only the basic check ups, I'll do them myself because it'll be cheaper by $100 at minimum. Then on big mileage check ups where a bunch of stuff needs to be done, including brakes and all that, I'll just have the shop down the street do it all to save time or something. Or maybe I'll always do the oil because $140 is so damn high vs. $30 (and I have an extra 7 quarts laying around now) and then I'll just have the shop do the hard stuff, lol. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Yah! And for some reason all the little punch out parts made it feel like an Advent calendar (minus the booze and chocolate)

 

Oh yah! and I used this tool too (I posted right above you about the same thing). It was really nice.

 

Nice job with the sound deadening. I did the same this weekend but you did a much better job.

How do you like the goose gear? Couldn't get myself to pull the trigger so just putting in a plywood platform for now.
