What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That's awesome! Clean work, dude!

 

Did you buy a kit to do it, or did you put it together yourself?

 

Damn, dude! She's so shiny that I thought the housing for your driver's side sideview was broken. Then I realized it was the reflection of a house.

 

Yeah it’s never enough. I’m pretty sure it’s people like us that is keeping the economy moving. Lol.

 

My sound deadening( in just the doors). Augmented the quietness quite a bit. Although there is a funnel effect as to where the road noise comes from now. The rear of the cab lol.

 

It wasn’t necessarily a ‘pain’ but just added a lot more time. When I got the bolts loosened, the gasket already separated from the bottom of the transmission so it dropped real easy. You get a lot more fluid out by doing that and removing the filter inside too.

The spark plug change was recommended maintenance in the owners manual at 60K. They didn’t look bad, only two were slightly darker than the rest. However none were burnt out or blackened.

 

Bought a kit from yotashop.com It was cheaper for me doing it this way. I got the optional 8' of hose instead of the standard 6'.

 

Drove it to the gym

 

Yeah, the curved lights are a pain. The WeatherTech PPF was already cut, but wasn't easy (even keeping it wet) to get in on correctly. I even tried a heat gun on low to help. I may give it another try at some point.

 

That rear wall section was super important

 

I wish I contacted them about the complete lack of documentation in the package or on their website. I struggled to figure out where all the pieces went and still have have several pieces in storage that I gave up on. Yours came out really good!

 

I should upload the instructions. They were really good. I was originally piecing together a diagram using the picture on the website and Instagram but even those were way wrong.

 

If you ever remove your dealer installed front license plate plastic bracket you will see the grooves it cuts into your bumper cover. Those grooves are permanent. I only make a handful of these annually and I always sell out. Just finished up the V3 hidden height adjustable front license plate brackets for 3rd gens. Strongest version to date.

Tongue and groove construction. Light, strong, flex-free, no drilling, car wash safe. All stainless hardware used for assembly, mounting and license plate screws with rubber isolators to keep the aluminum bracket from contacting the painted bumper cover.

 

Thanks! It’s the A.R.E overland series and it was around $3100. I still wish I got the opening side windows but it was already pretty expensive. Eventually it will have the matching prinsu rack on the top

 

Thanks! I certainly put some sweat equity in lol, put extra wax as I doubt I’ll clean her again before winter


Did the under carriage today and now all I can smell is woolwax even though I wore a respirator lmao

 

Did the annual prewinter undercoat of woolwax….. takes about an hour and about 2 the first time… you can use spray cans but I’d recommend against it.. some sort of spray gun is ALOT easier I found out this year.

 

Picked up some used cbi bed bars off a Colorado and made some brackets to make them work. Now I can go broverlanding! Actually I’m just using them for ladders lol

 

Didn't think this would be as handy as it is, center console storage organizer insert.
