What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

He is also going to add a fuse box and aome other odds and ends for thw electrical work under the hood. I have lights ,winch, air compressor.

And he just looks at everything whenever i bring it in.

Needless to say, he is also now double checking the warranty work done to my steering rack as well.

 

I received some improved recovery gear from Factor 55 using their military discount. I currently have a smittybuilt receiver and shackle, two no name 3/4 shackles, an ARB snatch strap, and a RhinoUSA(china) 30' tow strap.

I've got a RhinoUSA(china) recovery rope coming in to supplement the ARB snatch strap due to the manufacturer specified limitations. The main reason for buying new equipment is that all of this has actually been rated and shouldn't become a liability if required.

 

Ha! That's what I usually want to do mid-way through a mod..

 

Life lesson here is always double check what the lube monkeys do......

 

Love the stance. It looks like you have the stock flaps on. Any issues with rubbing?

 

Good mpg’s to boot. I have a question. (If I may).
Does the miles to empty increase with more highway driving?
I’m pretty much city miles with zero highway miles and every time I fuel up I get only 330 miles to mt as a reading

 

Who would have thought, from now on after an oil change, i need to lift the hood!? But i will.

 

This is sick, where'd you pick it up? How'd you secure the boot also?

 

In the 5.5 years I had my Sport 2 wheel drive the miles to empty, at each fill up, was nearly always 416. If I did a lot of city driving on 1 or 2 tanks it would drop to 385 at fill up.

 

Here is a better day light pic... Its actually a light gray and not white as it looks. Got it on Amazon. Search TRD shift knob

 

No, Lol. About the size of cue ball, maybe a bit smaller.

 

Change dish from etsy I think it's 3d printed which is all new to me but I couldn't be happier perfect match

 

It looks good in your second posted picture! Nice.

 

Guys, I'm stuck. Taking off my black fender flares, I found the screws up in the wheel wells removed them. But how are these stuck to the fenders? They seem pretty tight, has anyone found the trick to getting them off? Any pictures of the hidden anchors anyone? Feels like I'm going to bend or break something. Tia.

 

There are clips. Blue and orange ones?

some can be release from the engine bay. Just know those from changing my headlights. Not sure about the others toward that windshield, I’ve never messed with those

 

On my 2nd gens and my 3rd gen they were held in with clips. Not screws. Pinch the orange or blue clips under the hood against the fender to release them.
