What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed LED interior lights (not pictured) and one (1) Rough Country neoprene seat cover. The lights were easy other than the plate lights, which I might switch back to halogens anyway because they overpower the backup camera. The seat cover, however, is a different story. It came with zero instructions and YouTube was only marginally helpful. Wound up unbolting the seat itself and the seat front trim to get the cover jammed in behind it and to get the clips together under the seat, took about 3 hours for one cover. To be fair, I'm not an interior guy and I'm always scared to break something, but it was definitely a pain. The other seats should be easier though, no electric controls to get around on the passenger side, and the rear covers are two-piece to accommodate the seat storage. Turned out looking good though, looks more like and OEM seat than a cover.

 

My wife and I are about the same height as you guys are. We both found these steps just something to step over on a stock height truck. Neither of us are spring chickens, I'm 50 but it's not the years it's the miles.

 

Nothing. I didn't get it yet

 

I couldn’t find the obligatory
“This thread is useless without pix. “

 

I have AVS window deflectors, no complaints whatsoever.

Picked it up from the truck hospital.
New front bumper, valence, plate bracket, collision absorber thing and other related stuff. Good job on the color match. All OEM replacement parts. Like new again.
Just under $2600 ttl.

 

You couldn’t fit those spring in the bed?

 

Mine are still under the bed of the truck.

 

That looks much better.

I finally got around to installing my racks. UpTop Overland Alpha on the cab, and a Frontrunner Slimline II on the topper. I originally had an UpTop rack for the topper as well, but I wasn't keen on how high it had to sit in order for the side plates to clear the roof of the Alu-Cab, so I didn't install it. The Frontrunner rack sat a bit lower, but I still wasn't crazy about the look. I decided to make my own mounting feet for it out of aluminum. The rack now sits only 1/4" above the Alu-Cab's roof tracks. I'm pretty stoked with how it turned out.

 

A proper work truck.

 

Added a Leitner dual GearPOD, full length is on order for the other side.

 

Is that a composite bedrack? Who makes that? Looks nice!

Very cool. First time I've seen them. What's your opinion?

 

I don’t have any personal experience with them, I’m just familiar with the system because I considered getting it.
