What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looks good!

I added a Stant locking gas cap from O'Reilly's online--Northern VA location.

 

No. You can tap into the headlights so they only come on with the headlights if you want. That one is also a 10a. It’s the lower left one. The one I circled in red.

 

Great!!!

Thanks

 

Thanks! Any issues with the cap? Codes?

 

None so far and I have had it since the beginning of 2022.

 

Good to hear and I will look for one

 

I've had mine installed since Mar22 and had a state emission inspection in May22 - no problems at all. No codes, no issues.

 

That's the one I've been using since 2018. Works great

 

Thanks for the info!

 

Thanks! The original plan was to center them but I used 6 of the threaded studs that came out of the tubing to help hold the boards in place and it fit very well off to the side. They may end up on the bottom so I can mount a basket on top but until that takes shape they live on the top bunk.

 

Do you have a link for the lights you have for the non-pro grill? How was the actual light install in to the grill? I’ve heard some don’t snap in all the way/fall out.
Thanks

 

They snap in quite well. I even pushed and tugged on them to check. They aren't going anywhere. There's a video on the Amazon link that shows how they install. Very easy. Hardest part for me was running the wires because I'm a neat freak.

I redid my auxiliary power setup with a new larger solar panel, relocated and replaced the old second battery from an AGM under the hood to a new LiFePo4 battery to the bed. Added the last bit of electronics that had been on the TODO list for awhile. All LEDs are on 4 wireless relay boxes, and can be controlled by 4 buttons on a single remote/fob. Everything is working great and with the new bluetooth unit on the battery, I can see all the charge data with the Renogy DC Home app.

Hauled a bunch of old dead tree chunks to the landfill! Love my Sumo Springs when im loaded down like this- huge improvement!

 

I like the way you strap

 

Impressive!

 

No flap to OEM. They are Mud Guards. LOL

 

This made my OCD VERY happy.
