What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Congrats. Looks great.
Just something to consider. Metal tire valve caps can corrode and get stuck to the stem/valve. When you try to get it off sometimes the valve pulls out too. Happens with cold snowy Canadian winters.

 

I am taking your advice as one other mentioned the same thing. Thanks !

 

Note to self: if you think you have enough 3/8 extensions to change a spark plug, you don't.

Oh well, it'll be a nice day for walking to the hardware store. Again.

 

Nothing too fancy today just a couple more chrome delete items.

 

Where did you tap into to get power

 

Now we're in business. Suck it, buried ass plugs.

 

I busted the bumper cap when I backed into a pillar. I flustered from some woman pulling right up to my bumper despite me having signaled and angled my truck as to obviously be backing in—I got in a hurry and made a fool of myself :smh:
With the glare on my screen plus the shadow, I didn’t realize the pillar had a “+” cross section and thought it was square, so I thought I had another 8” or so..

I’ve ordered replacement bumper caps. I’m using this opportunity to do a chrome delete, so I also got matte black badge overlays and a wheel blackout kit.

I did hit that pillar with some pretty good force (~2-3 mph), is there anything I need to be concerned about or inspect on my truck other than cosmetics?

 

There is a "crumple zone" part inside/behind that might be also be cracked. I nudged a tree way back and I just ended up replacing it with a Rear steel bumper. That's when I discovered it.
Other than that, not noticeable at all. But, do check the painted metal part where it attached to. Make sure no chipped paint.
Sorry to hear this.

 

We don’t do ppf. We take all our ppf stuff to pristine ppf in lake elsinore

 

Pollen? Mine was covered in ice this morning, and road filth from the last snowstorm.

 

store them behind furniture in the house? Or at least that’s what I did with my last truck.

 

A small dab of Vaseline or Bag Balm applied to the thread on the stem when installing will ensure they come off easily.

 

Whoa! That’s an old school trick I learned in high school auto shop while I was 16. It does work! As I’m now 56…

 

I assume you took off the grill and then separated the Chrome part and painted it with Plasti dip. I've been wanting to do this for a while but I'm afraid I'm going to break all the pins, how did you do?

 

Ditched the BA4x4 bumper for a full sized from Backwoods Adventure Mods

I replaced it with an oem black one actually. It took about 10 minutes. The tabs are very easy to release just make sure all of the screws are out first

 

I left my factory OR lights and added the VLED tail light conversion, I absolutely love it

 

Received a new windshield mod while driving home yesterday.

 

Same here last week, took it in for free chip repair and the tech said it was a double strike, so they couldn't fix it. Went home, cleaned the area and filled the chip with superglue gel. Did 2 applications, let it dry and used a Razor blade to remove the excess. So far the lines haven't spread
