What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I'm thinking of having my buddy fab me one up on his plasma table where I can use the original bolts but the relay holders don't actually start until where the rearmost one currently is and would still have room for 4.

That or have the tabs for mounting be higher up so I have more room below for the wiring.

 

Also just noticed you have your looms above the holder. I hadn't thought of that. I was trying to hide that wiring the way I had it set up but having one additional relay facing up on one of the other tabs isn't a bad idea.

 

Bump

 

Just installed the tailgate lock harness thing. Now my tailgate will lock with the remote vice having to use the key every time.

Install wasn’t too bad. The videos have you running the harness underneath and follow the camera harness. Maybe the 2022 is different but the camera harness is on the driver side it seems. Either way I was able to zip tie it on the passenger side and run it to the back.

 

When I installed my oem tailgate lock on my 22 SR5, the wiring harness was on the drivers side not the passenger side. And the grommet that was provided was too small for the grommet I had to remove to run the wires so I can connect from the kick panel.

instead of leaving a gaping hole I cut the factory grommet to accommodate the harness

 

Trying to put on my hard tri-fold top. Im pretty sure the description is inaccurate bc the bolts arent long enough to be secured past the railing. Any suggestions? Thinking maybe smaller nuts might do the trick.




UPDATE:
After a few misses, I finally figured it out! First project on my truck by myself and I’m pretty impressed considering the terrible assembly manual

 

Yea I actually looked it up and read a bunch of info on it and that it had been closed. Appreciate the heads up

 

Slapped on a OEM Trail edition grille, aftermarket one just didn't do it for me. Now to get black covers for the bronze haha.

 

I think bronze looks good if you don’t have any other colors that are different on the truck. If it’s an all greyish black truck the bronze is killer.

 

@bimmerlev

X2 Keep the bronze.

 

The truck is all Satin grey/black besides my red big brake kit, hence why I wanna remove the bronze. It looks good but tryna keep this tank stealthy hahha.

 

Bronze looks good on your truck

 

I was able to make it work on the passenger side without cutting the grommet. I guess the harness for the locks must be on both sides to plug into. The only issue I really had was there was no camera harness to trace. I just used the frame and what not to zip tie too. Also didn’t make sense to me to put on the driver side when the kit comes with the exhaust protection for the muffler but I guess it’ll work either side.

 

Scored these 4 wheels with TPMS sensors with pretty good 265/75/16 Coopers for $100. Gonna sell off the tires to hopefully recoup my $100 and then some and put a set of studded snows on these steelies for the winter.

 

I think they set it up for the passenger side so when you double click your fob it unlocks the tail gate. If you have you fob settings set that way.

 

Agreed. Leave the bronze.

 

I’m with you. The bronze is off with the satin grey theme. I think MGM vinyl covers would work well, if we’re giving unsolicited advice.

 

What bumper is that, that looks great on your truck.

 

4wp's with the optional wings. I'm gonna sell it =) going C4 Hybrid sometime next year when it comes hahaha.
