What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yessir

 

Post it as a short, with something upbeat. Suddenly 10x views is my experience

 

Pulled two of the three RCI skids off and listed them all for sale. I definitely went overkill and it and will be going back to stock for the odd time my truck sees dirt.

Shame to take them off but if they're never getting used I figured why carry the extra weight. 10/10 plates all in all though!

 

Interested in your transmission skid if you're willing to sell separate

 

Unfortunately I'm in Canada so shipping anything is a gong show/ not worth it, but I'd want to keep the set of three together or sell the trans & t-case skids together.

 

Thanks appreciate it.

 

Damn that looks good.

 

It's worth the weight. That one dude, Joe puts his heart into these bumpers. He is in the shop everyday, helmet down laying beads. They also just had a baby, as you can imagine he is busy. Sometimes our desire for an object makes us forget that there are real people, putting in hot ass hard work, behind these things we lust over.

 

Got some HF bed liner and painted my shell this past weekend.

 

Well said my friend. I always consider that when making a purchase. I'm loyal also, and will go back to companies like this, that put their heart into things.

 

Where are you located?

 

Canada is very large

 

It is. I didn't know if you saw he was in Canada is all, if you are too then that's a plus

 

I am

 

In those cases, you’re looking at the wrong vendors. You need to be looking at more mass produced and sometimes inferior products. Even then, 4-10 weeks or more is not uncommon even with them. Your situation while respectable, is not the norm.

 

Being in manufacturing, lead times on raw materials have gotten crazy. Something that would normally take a 1-2 days to get, now takes 1-2 weeks. And that's even when you have leverage when buying volume. I can't imagine what small businesses are having to deal with considering smaller quantities. I do appreciate your situation. There is a front bumper I want but the leads are way out there and I'd rather use that $ elsewhere than tie it up in something I'll be waiting 3-4 months for. I'm just waiting for all of the craziness to settle.

 

Finally found a switch plate for drivers side that can house what I need. Yay for the pro and all these switches :/

I got one from Guild Outfitters, nobody has anything in stock or they don’t have that OEM look because of 3-D printing. I’m a picky SOB. Although, I needed a button to the right of my Auxbeam hole.

All happy and go to install it and I don’t know if this is specific to the pro (I doubt it), there is no way to have a button there as there is a mounting stub for something I can’t figure out what, behind where the button would go. Kind of annoyed it’s for a 3rd Gen and no mention it won’t work. Out comes the Dremel and some fancy carving without ruining the bottom of the mount that has a bolt to the dash. Tedious to say the least, but it worked.

Also, I had to trim the hole 1-2mm in about 3-4 spots for it to fit. If I ever have to pop this out again it’s going to be a PIA to get out because it’s so tight but it’s in and looks great. I guess it’s better to be too tight than loose though.

 

Yesterday I got the 6112s in as well as the OME heavy leafs and some front/rear super bumps.
