What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Today is the day replacing k&n intake for the afe cold air intake with secondary dynamic scoop

 

Installed my black Bumpershellz. No more chrome!

Follow my Black Widow build here:

Thats how these trucks should have been from factory. Looks good.

 

Finally replaced my tires w/ my new rims. Got almost 35k on the Firestones. Sure I'll get a lot more w/ my Discount Tire / Hancook Pathfinders

 

Thank you! I agree.

 

All done test drive time now

 

Let us know how it goes. we have faith in the butt dyno

 

Took me a solid minute to see the nice air box, all I could think was "why did he put the hood prop there?"

 

Down fall of ditch lights hitting windshield I actually use hood prop lol so hood doesn't go too far. When I'm working on the motor maintenance ect I let the hood all the way up

 

Well I can say being a longtime k&n customer through multiple vehicles I'm impressed with AFE. Better throttle response for sure . Afe's air filter is even bigger than k&n

 

So me being a oil catch can guy I totally forgot about the valve cover on passenger side that has vent . Anywho I'm curious if you could do a oil catch can for that side .

 

I can't even begin to imagine what mine would look like if I hadn't upgraded and added tranny and transfer skids

 

This is only the second time offroad with it since ive owned it for three weeks. Wife gave the go ahead for an upgrade lol.

 

Felt good, better improvement over k&n intake

 

Installed a set of the new PAKRAX Bed Stiffeners. He did a great job making them.

 

Never heard of em where they at

 

suspension is on. looks HIGH for "2inch"...hoping it settles an inch or more lol. went with OME 2887, 5100s, 3leafAAL from headstrong, etc...just dropped it off to where I bought the wheels and tires, should be able to pick it up at lunch. wooo. gonna look awesome later today, then waiting on all pro apex sliders to arrive...skids im not sure what I want yet. but will order soon

 

They’re based out of Phoenix

Never having owned a truck before, do other trucks require these should the bed be used with the tailgate down and pressure is applied to bed sides because of the contents being hauled? A click confused because the devices clearly line up with the metal surround for the wheel wells. Thanks.

 

this truck doesnt require it at all unless you're putting a heavy tonneau cover, bed rack, roof top tent (although not on roof, on the bed rack), etc...otherwise waste of $
