What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

You should so your nice tires don’t wear faster than they need to. Been there. Done that. Tires are expensive.

 

Eh I got 55k out of my old set, and the tires were equally as beat from the rocks as my garage alignment. I go through too many tie rods and joints to get an alignment, on top of spindles slowly bending and pivots bending. Half the time I'm correcting it before I drive 1k miles home from a trip. The Lt should get rid of most of that now that I have polys instead of stock, rubber bushings on the Lca. And uniballs instead of bjs.

 

Nada, already dent my fenders enough in the rocks. No need for wider fenders.

 

Thanks! Installing mine tomorrow.

 

Got some more work done but a lot of loose ends.
1. Wired the arb dual to a switch left of steering wheel. I just don’t have the switch yet. So I’m using a tall switch I ordered by mistake until the small one comes in. It’s just hanging out. I wired this to an ignition source so I don’t accidentally leave it.
2. Wired the Weboost in. The switch I ordered for it is broken and sticks on so the connector is just hanging out. I still need to mount the amplifier beneath the driver seat and mount the external antenna and internal antenna but the wiring is done. Hopefully the position of the internal antenna will be okay; at the overhead area. I wired the Weboost to an always hot circuit.
3. Ran wiring up to the overhead console so I can install a switch for a front e locker, if and when I decide I want it.
4. Didn’t reinstall the a pillar trim because I’m still holding out hope that @MESOJDM will restock the puddle switch kit soon.
5. Installed all of these switches into a 3d printed panel from Etsy which is garbage tbh. Waiting on @MESOJDM to reopen orders for a custom switch panel. I had to cut the dash to accommodate the 5 switch panel.
6. I now have a free circuit on my SPOD which I’ve decided to use ONLY for lights so I’m thinking a pair of SS5 mounted to the high hoop on the BAMF hybrid would be nice!
7. Thinking to add some seat jackers since I’ll need to unbolt the seat to get the Weboost amplifier installed.
8. Last but MOST importantly, I got the security footage of the perps that keyed the truck. It was 4-5 kids that came back to the truck 4 times in 20 mins to key it, and they even hit the tires with a rod. Got the phone and name of the ‘gang leaders’ father so I’ll be giving him a call after I speak with the local PD.
Still need to button up the wiring in the engine bay and the relay for the switch I added.

 

That sucks man. Hopefully his father will own up to his sons mistake and make things right with you.

 

That’s the goal. And while I’m over the damage to the truck, I definitely feel the families need to be held accountable so their kids don’t make stupid decisions in the future and the parents learn to better educate them.

Look into the Sleeper Keeper, we have like at least 10 in the group with no complaints.

Your truck looks great!

 

Please give an update on your thoughts on the weboost, I've been back and forth on getting one and have read so many conflicting reviews.

 

This is interesting..

Hope everyone is doing well, Haven't posted in a while, I have an iKamper Skycamp Mini 3.0 coming soon so added the CBI bed rails.

 

I love those black rhinos

 

thanks man, appreciate it. Likewise!

 

There is a molle panel that is available for behind the rear seats in the double cab. I have also seen a lock box on TW that fits behind the rear seats as well. These both replace the plastic bins behind the seats.
As a side note I don't know if you are aware but the AFT just ruled that pistol braces make your pew pew an illegal sbr as of April some time.

 

Will do, but probably won’t be another week until I actually get somewhere to give it a proper go after the install is done.

 

Technically it's what I did yesterday but treated the undercarriage and engine bay with "Salt-Away" then gave it a good hot water rinse. When I finished I figured I might as well take the snows/steelies off, take the mudflaps off, and put the nice wheels on for the summer. Of course at this point I couldn't not wash the whole truck. Also, I ordered the last of the parts to do my 2" lift. Hopefully I can install it the next weekend.
