What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Well, trying to start my 5160 install, but the damn bolt that I need to remove to put in the brake line spacer just keeps spinning....
F... me


Edit: I finally got it out. After using a flathead and prying the bracket up as I slowly loosened it, as well as saying a few prayers.

 

4x4 with stock suspension?

 

Picked up my fiberglass 3 inch wide front fenders today! They were already inferno and came from a member here who sold their truck.

 

Yeah you can see.

 

Did a few things the past 2-3 days.

Relocated the media port for android auto / apple carplay to the center console. For my use this is more convenient.



Turned the original USB port on the dash to charge only, and added an extra USB port on the top of the dash on my DMM from the Taco Garage. The new USB ports are powered by a power outlet fuse tapped and installed near the driver fuse box



Also installed a Switch Pros 9100. Now I can spend some more money on accessories.

 

Negative, I have a RWD Sport. I found the Sport suspension to be too stiff for my liking. I do appreciate the handling characteristics of it, but it definitely was too stiff. I would've replaced with Bilstein 4600's but they've been on backorder forever and I have a road trip coming up. I'm diggin the 5100's however although body roll has increased a bit.

 

Can’t wait to see those installed! Going with LT suspension? Gonna be awesome!

 

For the time being its going to just run on the pro suspension I have (1.5 inch eibach lift springs installed). I am 2.5 inches lifted from stock. Im going to put some wider wheels on and some 32 inch tires.
Eventually I want to put some long travel suspension, but I dont offroad much more than what I need to get to my fishing spots. Though winter time can make some fun "offroad" onroad driving.

 

Is that a tent stake? And why tho?

 

For the memes

 

Removed this.


Installed this. https://shop.enfigcarstereo.com/product/enfig-mic-toy1/

Works really well with my Aftermarket HU. Calls are clear and no more feedback on the other end. It snaps right in the empty spot in the overhead console. The OEM mic adapter will be for sale…

 

Yeah just some locking hitch pin I found on Amazon, I don't remember which one off the top of my head. Went on some trails today and the hitch skid did it's job while fording a couple streams when I managed to bounce it off a few submerged rocks I couldn't see until it was too late. No damage to the skid plate or the pin as far as I can tell.

 

Had a 2.5” front and 3” rear suspension upgrade. All of a sudden my tires are looking mighty small…

 

I appreciate it, it sucks. Maybe I can get them to replace with the taillights with alpharex at least.

 

Watch a lot of YouTube reviews on different ones

 

Mind taking a photo from the inside looking out?

 

I saw those now they are illuminated, not sure to get the normal or xl

Yesterday, drove it and my paddle board out to Colonial Beach, VA (Potomac River) for a most excellent morning out on the water!

 

Yes it is. I saw a guy on here with a heli cyclical and thought it would be fun to do something unique. It’s temporary, something to have a laugh about.

 

5160's this morning with the Cali Raised shock guards.
