What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

No, just wanted to stop water spray from getting up there and that .05% gain in mpg

Just did it, so I have not had a chance to do anything with it.

 

that looks like that's outside of the c-channel seal. i'd need to see closer pictures, but doesn't look at all like fogging to me. looks like standard moisture/soap caught in the outer edge that is completely normal.

but i vote they're horribly borken. fortunately, i offer a free disposal service. let me know when you need my address so i can safely dispose of them in a humane and responsible manner.

 

This. I was thinking of getting a taller wife.

 

oh, the idea's. i didn't realize the spare could be moved up that much. do you think there'd be about 12" behind the rear license plate if one were to move the stock spare forward as far as it could go?

i've got a bad idea for a rear-mounted winch...

 

I’ll see if I can get some photos when I get back to the station.

Lol @ disposal fee.

I never seen this happen w my stock sports though..

 

Looks good, where did ya get that from? Mine needs it lol

Replaced my needle bearing with an ECGS bushing today and eliminated the vibrations I got after my lift.

Since I am at 55k miles and I needed to top off the gear oil in the front differential anyways, I went ahead changed out the fluid in both diffs and the transfer case.

 

i saw someone quoted this asking where, can't find the quote, but it just popped up in my Amazon suggestions, hadn't seen an answer yet

Doesn't look like much, but I fabbed up a way to put a Packout in my bed as a easily removed toolbox. I don't have the Packout yet because a wasn't sure of the space I'd have after it was done.

 

J&L catch can. Quick and simple install.

 

A couple of days ago i rigged up a place for my windshield scraper. Keeps it accessable and out of the cab. It's a T-slot rail from a place called Yak Attack and some Quick Fists.

 

Sounds like the VA…

 

This may be on my to do list once the weather dries out.

 

Thanks it took me 4 months to find one

 

Finally picked my new truck a month ago. Been waiting for a while for the right one to get allotted to a dealer near me. Am loving it so far. Not gonna mod it a ton but today installed OEM tailgate lock, and Truxport tonneau cover that looks great and keeps the bed very dry even after a wash today, Picked up a bed mat from my local dealer that gives great discounts online and removed the predator steps. But my favorite thing that really makes the truck pop and adds a little more luxury was having leather seats installed by Custom Soft Trim in Portland, they did and amazing job! Glad to have a truck again! EDIT: what have you found to replace the vinyl on the doors and dash? would love some leather to match the seats...

 

Congrats! Are the seats a total replacement of the covers like Katskinz or slide overs like classio? I’m debating both options. Not too far from Portland and it sounds like you’d recommend this shop? I also said the same thing about not modding the truck much too…I’ve since changed my mind and gone down the rabbit hole.

 

Mounted my new Hi-Lift jack today….

Had to modify the handle for the latch on the tonneau cover…..nice solid setup.

 

Yes would absolutely recommend this shop in Portland, They are a full replacement not slip over cover. Took about a day for install, With heated front seats they were in the 1600 range. Katskinz are good too but have gotten really pricey. CST uses same quality materials and took good care of me. was well worth it me.
