What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just ordered this from aliexpress to protect it from scratches lol

 

I put a bug shield on! i know its not a significant mod by any means, but i'm taking baby steps! hopefully will cut down on the splattered guts on the windshield on wash day

 

It’s just a gentle touch of the paint pen

 

Radar mount on rearview is on, TRD radiator cap is on, TRD oil cap and TRD Shift knob all are on. Still need to run the direct wire kit for radar. Little at a time. Also messed with the Mini Cooper. Got a battery installed and she does start up, which I knew, but that idle is all over the place and she sounds bad. Also the fans stay on when you turn key off. My other half worked on cleaning her up some, she is so excited.

 

I like it. Where you get the paint pens?

 

Amazon has them. You can get almost any color. This set with all black is pretty good:

$16 Sharpie Paint Marker Oil Based Black with Extra Fine, Fine, Medium & Bold

A couple of mods. Drilled two new holes on DMM to route cables for my wireless chargers for a cleaner look. Also mounted the mic for radio... Didn't realize the ram mount I got was metal.. just took longer with a grinder and dremel to shape. I have the mounting and wiring to complete

 

Adjusted the aiming of my foglights (they were about level with my headlights upon install) and gave it a wash for the first time in months.

 

Good to know, i will have to watch mine more closely, glad i saved all my OEM Parts.

 

You missed out Devil Dog. You could've had a Scarlet Red & Gold rig!

 

That's what I thought. Tough to find the right color bronze, but it's a start...

 

You may want to get some of those half-plates that cover the top portion of them if you use your camera to back up at night. Ask me how I know… sh**s blinding.

 

PM’d you a link.

 

You can go to a craft store and get them too like Michael's and AC More , or Hobby Lobby. They have them with Multiple colors too.

 

There is also a harness that will shut the plate lights off when you go into reverse. I have this on mine and it works great.

 

Installed 2 renogy 175w solar panels + a bracket/switch for the winch

 

What hidden winch mount do you have?

 

Link, please?
I found this one. Just wanting to make sure it’s the preferred one to get if there are others.
