What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Things got a little more festive. Put on some Christmas lights from Home Depot on the DiamondBack cover.

 

I had white, black and MGM as options when I ordered mine last March

 

“Black and white are , all I see. Red and yellow then came to be let’s me see. “

 

Showed the new fogs on my last post.
But this night shot was pretty cool, so I figured I’d throw it up.

 

How's that Honeyseal holding up? I just spoke with a rep from Edmonton and looking to book my truck in at their Oakville location.

 

Halogens still in the headlamps?

 

Great band, great song

 

LOL caught that did ya?
The fogs was a impulse buy, 10 bucks on Amazon.
Read a lot on life spans of the halogens and that’s why they didn’t go with LED from the factory.
But now more than likely, I’m going to get LEDs for the mains as well if I can find a good pair, that aren’t too ridiculous in price.
Next up are what are called, adaptive headlights, and that they will illuminate when you’re in a dark area and if a oncoming car comes it senses and dims accordingly.
Why the hell didn’t they come up with this a long time ago? Great freaking idea.

 

@Canadian Caber commented on this post as well and said that they acted as a barrier to him, I would agree but not a deal breaker for me. Mainly it just drags/rubs against my pant leg getting in/out. My wife is 5' 4" and they do help her getting in, and will do so even more when I upgrade the suspension. Another reason for me getting these was to help access a future roof rack and they do offer a little door ding protection.

Hope that helps.

 

I would say "yes". I did not have to drill or alter them in in way.
The brackets that attach to the undercarriage do allow for minor adjustments where they connect to the running board and I had to fiddle with those until everything aligned.
Once I figured out the 1st one the 2nd one went on in half the time. Having a 2nd set hands would help but I managed alone ok. Just keep all the bolts loose until you have them all in.
The reason I opted for the 2nd Gen version is they are about 1/3 of the price of the newer 3rd Gen version. These are made of steel and I believe the 3rd Gens are aluminum, since I live in the southeast salt/corrosion isn't a big concern for me.

Whichever you choose, good luck.

 

I had a shot at San Diego before I entered upon the scene. But my mom couldn’t bear one season all year. Damn it to hell golf game!!

 

Idk if you saw my previous post, but I'm happy with the Auxito LED's for the low-beams. They were $60. I had them on my 2014 Taco for almost two years. Traded it in for my 2019, but they were still going strong when I traded it.

 

Today I called and scheduled to get a replacement windshield on my two month old truck, the windshield I just had a tint stripe added 2 weeks ago to... all because a construction company couldn't clean up the pebbles after the work they did last night on an intersection project that has been going on for over 2 years!

 

Finally got my Pace Edwards Ultragroove Tonneau Cover installed! Pretty happy so far!

Pretty nice with the OEM bedmat and LED bed lights. Attaches with clamps that slide into the OEM bed rails and with the t-slots on the Tonneau I was able to attach a Yakima Crossbar setup. 66" round bars allow for two bike attachments and the basket with some room to spare.

Color matched bumper caps and blacked out tail lights are next!

 

Added super white grill letters and trd badge from Taco Vinyl.

 

I have the factory running boards on my 22, I do use them but mainly to step on to get at the front window and roof, they really do keep the crap off the sides of the truck

 

I like the way you performed the donut-ing leaving skid marks on the pavement as you came to a complete rest in the painted parking space. Amazing.

 

Your Truck! Is Ascending!!

 

4lo + e brake

 

Please research and understand the performance loss of cheap led bulbs in your halogen housings before broadly recommending them as an "upgrade".
