What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Did something that is pretty much the opposite of what is regarded as cool here. Put a Sport 30mm sway bar on my truck (OR) a few weeks ago. I like the handling better for sure. Sways significantly less on turns at speed.

 

Damn! Hope they take care of you on this.

 

If you’re not taking it off road too much then it should serve you well.

 

Yep, precisely why I made the decision to do it! Found one local for $15 plus purchasing new OEM bushings, so it was a cheap experiment. I don’t regret it.

If I ever do head out for an off-road trip, I’ll probably put the stocker back on. Which would also give me the ability to reevaluate the pros and cons from the other side (after being used to the thicker bar, see what it feels like to go back).

 

I just installed energy suspension bushings on my 30mm sway bar

 

Go paperless on your Discover billing and problem solved!

 

These are not enough choices; we also need a "groan" option and a "sad" option.

​

 

Agreed, taking an oath to never mod your truck is very sad and worth groaning about.

 

I finally told myself to get off my lazy ass and start cutting for my Relentless Fabrication front bumper. I still have to wire up my winch (the reason why it's just hanging there), Baja spots, and my Baja S8.

 

Used the bed as a stand to setup my new generator. The cost of renting a generator for a week was the same as buying one, I only need it for a single night this summer as part of a week long road trip to south dakota.

 

Thanks for the info. Most of the products look like they are geared for body shops, not DIYers. Lots of good videos from SEM, Eastwood, etc. None of this is any good for my OCD, especially this one:

Wish there was a quick disconnect for the sway bar when off roading. That would be awesome!

 

That is an awesome looking setup!

 

I run energy suspension bushings on all of my stock sway bars for all of my cars and it makes a very noticeable difference over oem.

 

Not that I plan on rock crawling with my daily driver anytime soon ... but can you give a reasonable explanation (roll angle degrees, for example) of when the sway bar crosses from "stability in the everyday" to "limits off-road unreasonably"?

 

Yeah and it was inexpensive too, got it off Amazon.

 

Mounted a Victory Molle panel, and hung my boards. This has been going on since yesterday. Rain sucks.

I know it seems like a waste of a panel. I'd rather not leave them on the roof.. they will walk away.

 

Ordered this sub to replace the jbl one. Don’t want to spend money yet to replace the speakers yet though. Lol

 

Threw on some window rain guards and the bed step. +1 on the bed step, pretty happy with it so far. We're moving soon so loading the truck will be a little easier!

 

Finished installing my OME lift kit this weekend! OME 886 springs in the front and OME Dakar Heavy Duty Leaf pack in the rear. Bought them from @HeadStrong Off-Road and highly recommend for any of your purchases! Also upgraded the rear bump stop to Archive Garage Option 3 Yellow bump stops, UCA to JBA High Caster UCA, and LCA to Dirt King Performance LCA. Taking it in this week to get the new 285/75/16 tires and SCS F5 0mm offset wheels mounted, balanced, and aligned. Fingers crossed I'll have to do minimal trimming.

Spent a lot of time researching and saving for the components and install. Feel free to ask any questions since I referenced this site constantly for help and would love to help anyone else in the future.
