What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I overthought my method for sure. Haha. I used one of those old school Bic pens and took the ink tip and end cap off (so it's just the white straw-like tube), inserted the tube through the loops on the bag, and secured a long zip tie through the tube and around the loops.

Some people use a long skinny bolt, or a pencil and tape, or even just a zip tie....doesn't matter all that much. It just needs something to keep the loops from pulling out once the console is snapped into place.

 

How does the quality of these reps look and feel?

 

How much will the finished bumper weigh?

 

Approaching probably 225 lbsor more

 

170# w/o winch

 

I just installed mine last Sunday. Real cool. The only down side, they effect my f.m. radio when they are on.

 

With winch, ~250lbs

 

What lift are you running? Looks great

 

Mmm,... meaty!!! Love the machined Summits too.

 

That looks great .

 

Nice. Looks really good.

 

Thanks! It’s a pro comp 6”, full length Bilstein struts up front with OME 888 coil, 14” 5160s in the rear, Alcan 650lb 6” spring for the rear

Thank you!!

Appreciate it!!

 

thanks!!

 

What are your opinions on the SSO slimline vs the body armor bumper? And also bumper and winch before suspension lift? Or lift first them bumpers and winch?

 

If reading the owners manual is genius, I must be smarter than ol Al Einstein... LOL

of course he wasn't on Verizon so theres that...

 

How's you experience been with AliExpress? I used them years ago when living in Thailand but not from the US!

 

Modified my fuel and water can that I carry around on road trips.
Added a vent to the gas can and replaced the garbage spout with a vented spout, like they use in Canada or on water jugs.
And on the water jug I cut off the screw on vent and installed the same style vent I put on the gas can.

 

Tried to take the mirror blinker light apart to get the chrome out but was not successful. Not sure how its sealed together but the lens is so brittle.

Wait, what?

Please tell me you're kidding.

I don't listen to local radio stations...I'm all about SiriusXM and Bluetooth experience.

Those are really cool lights, MAN!

Don't ruin it for me! lol

 

For fun and for some practicality, I made this cheatsheet and laminated it to keep in the truck. I am starting to do my own fluid changes and the card is to make it so I don't have to look up torque specs, socket sizes, etc. I put the estimated cost so I could tell my wife how much money I 'saved' each time I do my own maintenance....
