What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks. I also like the idea of being able to winch from the back. I do not plan to run wires back there but to use a very long set of Jumper cables to power it if needed.

 

You could run a secondary battery back there

 

Yeah I could but then I would have to run wiring to keep it charged. If I am doing that I might as well wire in the winch in the back.
I think that rear winching is a less likely scenario as getting pulled out backwards just means you have to recross where you were stuck to move forward.

 

True but you could pick a different line, and it’s not always you being pulled out, you could be pulling someone else out…if I’m using the winch for myself I’m in deep, winching has always been beat into me as a last resort. But they are great for rolling buddies back to rubber down and pulling them back up from a cliffhanger just run lugs to the bed box next to the plug, you’re good to go lmao

 

What front hitch did you use?

 

Looks like the harbor freight one

 

Just remember to protect it from theft!

 

Gonna do a soft topper or soft cover (outta sight, outta mind), also going to be welding in a receiver tube to my bedcage to lock it in place so it doesn’t go bouncing out when I’m blasting whoops in Baja lmao

 

I used the Curt Hitch from etrailer. Here is a link.

Looks like it came off a state trooper cruiser.

 

[Finally] installed RCI cat guards:

I see the light but you have to look to see any logo. Anyway, not a game changer for me. Not like wearing a NORTHFACE sweatshirt or anything.

 

Popular item, got mine about a week after I ordered them. At the time they were bragging how fully stocked they were.

 

I also am a Siriusxm listener and I don’t notice any issues at all with mine.

 

Damn, your truck looks badass. Love that shine

 

Me and a friend installed a 6112/5160 kit today. About 3.5 hours.

 

Final mod. Window tint.




*probably not the last mod.

 

Installed. So much bass now that I had to turn it down to the minimum and you can still feel them. Night and day different. Highly recommended if anyone is on the fence. Not cheap but well worth it.

 

What does a sand pitted windshield look like? I'm asking because when I clean my windshield to the point it is crystal clear, which sadly isn't very often, and the sun light hits it directly, it looks like a billion little specks covering the complete windshield. It is so uniform that I just always took it as the way the glass was manufactured. In less than the ideal aforementioned scenario, the specks are undetectable. Living in NC, how could this be sand pitting unless it happened in transit.
