What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Which midland model is that?
Also, what bracket did you use for the antenna? I don’t and won’t be adding ditch lights, but curious if a ditch light bracket will work out if the box.

 

What’s your radio and antenna numbers.

 

Being in Ontario they make us run a front plate, over the winter I put a Utah plate on for fun for a wheeling trip but just kept it on I liked it. Sure enough a COP pulls me over couldn’t understand why I had a Utah plate on my truck? $170 ticket!! Yep!! So today I put a new plate holder on and stuck my Confederation 1867-1967 (the year I was born) plate on…my ex always said I had ODD

 

A little before and after since I've had this truck for the last 14 months, just got some Rocktrix wheels and Yokohama Geolandar X-AT's today

Remember, always chock/block your rear wheels.

 

Yikes! +1 on the wheel chocks, but also use jack stands under the frame rails. Don’t rely on the jack to hold the load, or you could become Taco sauce.

Be sure to check and re-check those lug nuts while you’re out wheeling. Enjoy the day!

 

Drove 200 miles today at around 70 mph, while towing a small trailer with a boat (700lbs total) and somehow got 19.7 mpg with 32 inch tires and a 2.5 inch lift.... Only change since last years trip was adding a sport front valance and adding a trailer with a boat.

 

Isn't a "sport front valance" a condemnable offense?

 

Hyperdip stock wheels

 

Attempting to vinyl wrap my Meso Customs V2 key fob. I honestly have no clue what I'm doing. I'm using a lighter to make the film more pliable. Wrapping around these tiny edges is hard, LOL. I may end up getting this professionally done. I wanted a topographical design vinyl but couldn't find any I liked. I thought a carbon fiber print would be more forgiving too.

 

Yeeesh! Looking at that image, I have the "Dumb Ways to Die" jingle in my head.

 

ive done it like that all the time, as long as you never get under it and can move fast - no problem .......but i would never advise it......and you have to think fast if you are jacking one end up and dont use blocks and forget if the vehicle is FWD or RWD and it starts rolling......fun times

 

Use a heat gun. Lol.

 

Oh man, I spent hours working on the truck today. Still doing basic QOL of stuff atm, but today i got installed:


Footwell light's,


Remote starter


Tailgate gap blocker thingy.

and I spent a bit of time fixing my toneau cover, and grinding the bolts shorter so they don't poke through.

Ordered a bunch of sound deadening to finish the truck up. Excited to see how it goes. Rear wall, floor and roof still need done.

Debating how I can add a layer of MLV to the doors, open to idea's. Nopt sure how I'd secure it.

 

i added sound deadening to my doors, back wall and tailgate. The doors were pretty easy, just tight working space.
I took off the battery cables, didn't want the lights on the entire time.

 

I did the doors with Butyl rubber and Closed cell foam. (Noico 300mil) so far I am VERY impressed with the results. Not sure how I could get a layer of MLV (1lb or 2lb) to stick up in there for years without falling down though. Debating whether I want to start using rivnuts on the braces to attach it, or if I should just leave good enough alone. Any idea's?

 

Finally got around to installing my Switch-Pros 9100. Tight fit in a MT Tacoma but eventually got it to fit ok.

 

Maybe its time to get better friends LOL j/k
