What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Great video.. Very detailed!

 

nice little mods!

 

Nooooo… get out of the loop. Not really a fan of the zip ties in that application, but the Fairbairn is nice.

 

How do they ride? They Look good

 

Nice job! Maybe a grab handle on top of the tongue for easy handling.

 

Not too much time on them yet, but so far I am liking it.

 

Thats a great idea! Ill add that to the list of add ons I want.

 

Did the DIY pet screen project on my shell that I got from another post.

Got the expanded metal from Lowe’s for about $17-$18 a piece, and the 3/8” one hole conduit straps from Home Depot. Took about as long as it did the paint to dry on the expanded metal. Painted the expanded metal and conduit straps black to match the ARE Overland topper. I was able to retain the bug screen with whatever style windows I had, so win/win there. Total cost was about $40.

 

Just a filler until I get actual mounts haha

Guess I'll go with no hub caps until they arrive.

 

I removed the sandbags from the bed yesterday since it hasn't snowed since Saturday. Now it's supposed to snow 12-24" tomorrow night.

 

What? Do you have to rent a forklift to put them back in the truck bed?

 

No, but I blew out my shoulder and am recovering (still) so I'm not supposed to lift anything. Gravity helped me remove them with one arm but I don't see getting them back up off the garage floor and into the bed with a single arm. All will be well; I have 4WD and almost new tires. Then again, spring forecasts are notoriously inaccurate so who knows what will actually happen.

The reality? I haven't done anything for a week or two and just had to show I still have a pulse.

 

Lift your credit card at the store and buy a case of beer to reward the people who will help you put them back.

 

Morimoto headlights, Diode Dynamics Elite series fog lights, TRD pro grille

 

A $61 difference would not dissuade me from buying American made……just sayin

 

whats the story?

 

did you read the manual?

 

cool RAPTCOMA

 

bad balancing, but the marks is how the tires are mounted so the front isn't damaged
