What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That's the same reason I bought one. Wanted to be able to throw stuff in the bed while also carrying my grom and ruckus around w/o stuff flying out the back.

 

Did better than me. I ruined one of the highway at 500 miles. I felt like those tires where thin as paper and I’m glad I replaced them.

Why did you get a new radiator?

 

Found the problem, fixed it. Was a kink in the drain tube from my condenser. Un kinked it water poured out, no more sloshing.

 

Thanks for the tip! I went back to the box and found the other hardware. I’ll get the bolts changes out. I really appreciate you seeing that in the picture. Nice attention to detail my friend!

 

We did new reservoir brackets and outer tie rod jam nut sleeves #oldestjackevar

 

I like it, I think all the covers have pluses and minuses but I’m happy with it. Only complaint is it does not have the quick removal the advertise on the webpage for other models because of the way everything lines up. What I did was replace one of the bolts with a
Wing tipped bolt so I could remove it by hand to get the clearance when I want to remove it. It cleans up real nice and I actually wash and wax it just like I do the paint on the truck and it looks really nice. If you are in a dusty enviromental when your cleaning the truck fold it up and wipe the rubber seals top and bottom with a damp rag to remove the dust.

 

Thank you- great find! Guessing the bronze looking one is just the metallic gold?

 

It was for peace of mind. I've never liked plastic on radiators and I wanted to make sure the truck never have any issue with heat.

 

What mounts are those? May be just what I need for my fire extinguisher.

 

My first windshield lasted 600 miles. Will replace in the spring as it's pointless to tempt fate during winter.

 

I used Copper(Metallic).

 

Side Steps 4.0
on my 4th version of side steps, always looking for something better. Each one has it's pros and cons so....picked up brand new take off OEM predators today, couldn't resist.
1st - Smittybuilt Round Tubes - looked ok, cheap option if on a budget but was wanting something better.
2nd - OEM Cast aluminum running boards - solid, best fit and function but didn't care for the looks so much
3rd - OEM 5" Oval black steps - looks good, just too close to cab, awkward height and everyone has them here
4th- OEM Predator Steps - we will see how these work out, top of step pad is about 16.5" vs 20.25 on the ovals.

 

Gave the truck and new pair of shoes today Big difference
Les swab wanted $500 to install new sensors and install the tires, swap the ones from the steel wheel into the aluminum wheels in my garage for free.

 

With the a wiring harness from and install by local member @Puppypunter , my grill lights are now wired up securely and properly. The harness also equipped me for backlit fogs when I'm ready to pull the trigger on those. I really appreciate the knowledge, parts, and help!

 

What are your thoughts on the radio knobs? I've been looking for a replacement for mine. Thanks
