What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I'm square.

 

Not yet, good or bad idea??

 

I mean, theoretically it's a sound move. I was looking at the ARB breather manifold. You can connect both front and back and have one spot to check both diffs for leaks.

 

Have to wonder what the life expectancy on this will be.
Might be a quality item, I don't know. But plastic usually doesn't fare well with a lot of flexing.
But then I don't really know how much flexing it will truly do.

 

How would a sealed system like that compensate for large elevation changes?

Wow, that's a great new 4th Gen truck, no doubt it will be very successful! Dang!

Really digging my camper shell! Waited about 6 1/2 weeks for it to come in. I added a shelf inside of it and it came in clutch for a trip I went on.

 

Just ordered a set of sliders. The coupon tab works perfectly.

 

Glad I didn’t waste my money on a pro!!

This bed looks like it was washed and armor-all'd....looks brand new... I'm gonna have to spend some time cleaning mine now

Thanks!

It was Christmas 2021 and the bed lights & bed mat were my gifts from my wife.

Truck was about 7 months old so the bed liner was still clean/shiny!

That and it was a cold night.

The SaBellCo was in March of 2022 and my grass looks patchy.

 

When I see all the goodies, I want it, but I also know a lot of it is expensive options that I wouldn't spend the money for (I can't imagine the price of a loaded Trailhunter).
Being content with what I have is good for me.

 

Picked up battery terminal kit from SDHQ and a couple of wiring accessories to finish my arb twin/auxbeam ar800 controller install.

 

What are you using to mount the Auxbeam unit in the engine bay? I currently have the BA80 that I'm searching for mounting options. Haven't found a tray that will accommodate the unit and breaker, without drilling into the fender, etc. Thanks for any advice

 

Got impatient and installed my new grille before I can install my new bumper. I was actually just looking at the lightbar electrical and before you know it...

I cut my exhaust off for clearance and appearance

Had to drop the spare to get better access with the grinder and still ended up butchering the cut haha

 

I bought this 3d printed one from Etsy. It's made by a forum member.

Then I ordered some longer battery cables (30" and 16") from here as the ones included with the auxbeam ar800 kit have the wrong terminal size for the positive battery cable and were a little short. You'll want 5/16 or 3/8 terminal ends. I ended up using the included auxbeam ground cable as the 4wg version was a little too big to fit with the 4awg positive cable in the tray opening.

I fabricated my own Auxbeam engine bay mount.
It's pretty easy to make.
I used 1/8" 3003 Aluminum, which bends easily.
You just need a jig saw, file, drill, and vise (a vise brake makes the bends look better)

I got the aluminum from Grainger since there is one near my house but I'm sure local metal shops would carry sheets of 3003 as well. Cost $35 and there is enough material to make 3 mounts so you can either screw up worry free or make some duplicates to sell.
