What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got a replacement topo letters from Coop's Custom 1221 for my replacement tailgate-- was surprised to a new 3D version of them for the 3rd Gen which I am digging' a lot! Love the quality of the product along with the awesome customer service.

 

I don't see the 3d version listed. These the ones?

What did you tap for the power or did you run power from the battery to a fuse block?

 

Thanks! The cover has not seen any rain or snow yet so I'm not sure about weather proofing. I have heard the Retrax is just OK for keeping out water. I needed something that is relatively secure and that I could add the low bed bars above, those two things were higher on the list than completely keeping out the elements.

I picked up the cover at Cap World in Salem, NH. I got the bar set up off of EBAY.

 

lol, i ordered 2 reels of 100' of 12ga for my install... you've got me thinking i've over-ordered... though it seems you're only doing 6 speaker locations, while i'll be doing 6-8 locations...

 

Yea, I ordered these because this is what I had on my first tailgate but received these new 3D ones. Corey said they switched over because they were better quality which I agree!

 

Yeah, he just emailed me back and said they're all 3D printed now.

 

nice he's like 30 mins from me

 

‘That’s all I do as well, pretty simple.. Of it ever becomes a hassle, I’ll spray paint half the lens black and call it good, upper half…LOL

 

Swapped back to the Sierra’s and G003’s

 

what happens when you need to clean the bed or unclog the drain holes?

 

I've always debated about getting a tune since I got the truck in May, 2022.
Just got Overland Torque Tune (OTT) this morning by Quoc in Orange County, CA.

I was a little bit skeptical about all this tune thing, but WOW was I missing out...
The driving experience is COMPLETLY different now and very satisfied. I just need to get used to this now. Drove about 40-50 miles today and also had to haul supplies for my business (roughly 400-500 lbs) in the bed today. It feels like a different truck now.

Best money/mod I spent so far.

 

I specifically purchased the lowest wattage LED bulb for my license plate illumination and although it is about 4x brighter than the OEM incandescent bulb, it does not wash out the reverse camera.

 

Let us know what kind of gas mileage bump ya got with the new pizza cutters over the 265/70/16 BFG’s.

 

im not expecting anything worth noting. Gas mileage sucks in these trucks, so unless it changed my mileage to 28mpg it doesn’t matter to me really. I dont even bother calculating that stuff- it just reminds me how much i pour out of wallet each year lol

 

I call it the “get outa range from the Teslas tax”. It’s worth it in the Bay Area. I drive this bastard at 5mpg

 

Sold my Diamond Back HD to pay off the balance on my Alu-Cab Explorer canopy coming in the next week or two!

 

Gas mileage??! Huh? Least thing I think about! It’s a truck!

 

Oh mod? Uhh. My 23’ pro is still in build stage. But talked to a friend in Tokyo. He got me a passenger side but driver side for us Oh Sht handle and A pillar mount. I’m stoked!
