What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

My son got out here yesterday for Christmas and helped me with the Greenlane Sliders (my Xmas present) install today. Only -25 C outside but the garage was a balmy -10 C. No more chrome anywhere!! Better pictures in the future after the cold snap when I can wash the truck. Ski hills lifts aren't even open due to the cold!!! Brrrrrrr.....

 

I made a new 9-Switch mount for the space behind my shift lever:

 

Now map it to a midi controller so you can DJ while you drive....

 

Good to know for next time (if the bulbs ever burn out); wondered why I couldn't get my fingers in there. In any case the tape was darn quick too; just had to go back in the house to get it.

 

Oh I must have misread it. You meant it was hard taping around the bolts to paint them. I thought you was saying the paint wasn’t adhering.

 

Nice! Where did you get that TRD cover? That's the best looking one I've seen.

 

Those connection points are finicky, give the bulb a turn to ensure contact. Just an observation I made when I switched to LED.

 

It is an early Meso Custom coin tray, I'm not sure they still offer it.

 

reluctantly joined the 3rd gen club. my turbo 1st gen is staying though. too much fun

 

Changed out the stock bulbs for some brighter ones, because my vision at night sucks. Also put LEDs in all the interior lights.

 

Good idea-they look GOOD. My OEM bulbs are very dull. Where did you get the replacement bulbs?

 

Sliders look good, but it looks like there's still some chrome in those side mirror turn signals

 

Gotcha, thanks for the reply. It's super clean. The others I've seen look really cheap and poorly constructed.

 

Which bulbs you go with?

 

I posted a link to them, but I guess it's awaiting Mod approval...? but both the fogs and headlight bulbs are the brand Auxito. I had them on my 2014 I used to have and loved them. I just ordered them on Amazon.

Edit: no pics, because it's obvious what they look like, but for the interior LEDs I ordered a kit for around $20 that included Map, vanity, dome, reverse and license plate bulbs.

 

Are these what you got? Thanks.

Welcome, I joined the 3rd gen club 5 weeks ago, also kept my 1st gen. Definitely big differences between the trucks, I think the clutch throw is one of the biggest, 1st gen clutch is much shorter than the 3rd. It takes some getting used to.

 

Yep, that's them. These are the foglights.

Thanks for working with me there, just placed order, should arrive tonight.

HOPEFULLY these aren't the bulbs that cause me to hold up my left hand to block oncoming vehicles with lights so bright that I cannot see the road until they pass. Jeezzus I hate those. The side images on the product indicated that they do NOT shine in oncoming traffic eyes. **Trying to do my part to protect the Human Race.
