What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Very well done. Reminds me that I eventually need to get around to securing mine. They may or may not be just sitting on there without the cord and J-hooks being attached

 

Not today but finished this up yesterday or Friday, BAMF Shackle Hangers! Getting those 8 rivets was a PITA but happy I’m done.

Next up, maybe the TacoGarage DMM or a snorkel…

 

Great work!!

 

Digging the center console cover too

 

Took the pro grille off and painted the stock one black. Really liking the stock look

 

Installed power folding mirrors.

 

Before pic. Used Plastidip for the paint so it's not permanent

 

What steps did you take (prep etc etc)?

that came out great

 

Thanks. The grille was already in great shape but i just sprayed isopropyl alcohol all over it and then wiped it off with a microfiber and let it dry for a few minutes.

 

Thanks! What paint did you use, plasti dip?

 

Rust-Oleum. Came out glossier than Plastidip. Will probably end up in a satin finish but way better looking than PD

with the cost extremes of copper lately, it's starting to be more commonplace to have cca wire. terrible terrible stuff.

i go out of my way and usually over-spend to get pure copper wiring... these days i only order from knuconceptz just because they're one of the few outfits i trust to get the wire type and gauge sizing correct...

 

Happy New Years!!! got the OEM bed mat

 

That’s something that I have not considered. I need to pull out the calipers and check the gauge of the new stuff.

 

Looks great!!

 

Happy new years!

 

I’m very satisfied with how it came out. Finger tips are sore lol.

 

yeah, i learned the hard way a few years back, i got an "8 gauge pure copper" scosche amp wiring kit, and the '8 gauge' was really about 12 gauge wiring in a thicker plastic to make it appear that it was an 8 gauge wire. dirty tricks.

i later went to a car audio shop to get some some 12 gauge speaker wire later, and their "12 gauge" speaker wire had the same outer diameter of ace hardware's 18 gauge home speaker wire...

i know there's got to be other reliable sources for real-gauge wiring, but i found knuconceptz actually follows the standard, so just stick with them for now.

for a number of years, i ran home audio speaker wire specifically because i could at least count on it being true to it's gauge size, but that doesn't come in amp power wire sizing.

 

Sure, no worries. This is the one I purchased.
