What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

So far it’s been great - sturdy and well made. Looking out the rear view mirror there are almost no obstructions (the cross bars hang juuuuuuust low enough to be visible). If you plan on mounting anything to the side of the rack, it’ll block your view into other lanes obviously. My only complaint was the hardware didn’t come powder coated like the rest of the rack.

 

love it been debating on doing it. are you planning on using hood pins?

 

Interesting that they are “required”

 

That tire (tyre) house has some real “curb appeal”!

 

Is there a difference in the wall durability if you use C or E tires?

 

here’s how it looks with cloth seats. I think the foldaway ones are still better however.

 

Decided to drop the tire size due to rubbing, went from 265/70R17 to 265/65R17 no more rubbing(uploaded the wrong photo)

 

Thinking about doing a similar bumper cut on my truck as I have the BA bumper as well...

Did you feel like the plastic up front became flimsy after? Did you have to secure it in some way?

I know a lot of people choose to do the more circular cut so that they can retain that bottom bolt near the skid plate. Just curious to hear more about your experience with that specific cut

 

Looks great! What size Geolandars?

 

Towed the bike to the shop today. Have a ticking at the top of the rocker at operating temperature. No power loss and starts right up. And FYI, that’s not a wheel-chock. But for $18 to rent, I am not complaining.

 

I imagine the towing fee for a motorcycle is more than $18.

Fun having a vehicle capable of towing things heavier than a bicycle carrier.

 

It’s A LOT more.

 

Installed a MBRP cat back exhaust last weekend and realized I'm too old to be driving a bumble bee truck. Maybe MBRP is better suited for the younger people. So today the U.P.S. guy brought my Borla S-type cat back and I just installed it and am very Happy.

 

I believe they list it as required as a removal of liability if the hood catch fails. These hoods will work just fine without pins.

 

Makes sense. They could also go with the classic “For Off Road Use Only” sticker.

 

I think even then the latch failing would cause significant damage to the windshield and roof that they would be blamed for.

 

Got around to installing my all black PRP seat covers. Love them so far!

 

Love the look of your truck
