What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

If you've ever considered getting the Sunex bigg'n jackstands, just do it. These are the "Medium" and sheeeeit I luvitmayn.

The tops are just over 5" between the ears and go right around the frame perfectly. Sunday funday.

 

Thank you @AmateurTaco1313 for the keen eye. I flipped the bushings over today. Your tip of using the stock bottle Jack was very handy. Went much faster this time.

 

FCS MK 99 Here
Did you make your tag, would love to have one for myself?

 

Added a block of UHMW plastic to my skid plate, so now I can jack up the truck using the front lift point without worrying about denting the plate.

The RCI skids are the old style but I got the engine, trans, and cat guards for $600. So I'm fine with the fact that they don't have the middle bolts or the diff drop bump out. I had to leave the front brackets on to give my diff some space.

I don't plan on doing any wheeling where I would absolutely need them, mostly just got them for snow and the piece of mind that I am protected just in case.

 

Installed my new blind spot mirrors from Spotter Mirror.
They work well but may take some getting used to.

 

I found the picture on google.
I tried like hell to get a patch when I was in, they were made back then, our chief had one, but didn't get one for the rest of us.

 

Going with my last post, I noticed these metal tabs on the back of the stock driver's side mirror only.
Anyone know what they are for?

 

I'll be trying to adopt this soon too, Cheers.

 

Thx for the info. I just bought the 6" and 10" extensions.

 

Internal heater?

 

I parked at the far side (empty) of the parking lot when I took my mom to lunch.
And then I come back and it's surrounded by all these old beater cars.
Six Porsche 911s, a Ferrari, and a McLaren.

 

Believe me , they will definitely come in handy. Drivers side is the worst, so I would do it 1st and get it out of the way. Passengers side will be a walk in the park.

 

Finally got around to putting my storage box in the bed. But just to see how it fit with the Hi Lift up front and if the platform will slide around on my BedRug

 

Replace serpentine belt, f&r diff fluids, transfer case fluid and transmission drain and fill just as the truck is hitting 100k.

 

+1

 

Finally got time to install my Diode Dynamics SS3 Fogs and WOW what a difference. Two shots, one showing the amber backlight, one with them on, and a video showing the difference between just the halogen headlamps and then with the new fogs...



Video showing without and with the new fogs.

Good on you for taking mom to lunch. I take my 80+ year old dad to lunch every Saturday since my mom passed just after thanksgiving last year. It was meant to be (surrounded by exotics).

 

Hopefully you don’t ever need the Hi-Lift. You could try installing it on the side rail like this….

 

It's still easy to remove with the platform installed, I notched the the platform to fit around the jack.
I have a WaterPort I mount on one side and I strap my folding chairs on the other side.

And I definitely hope I never have to use it.
Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

 

Nice setup and agreed.
