What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yeah the install was easy, straight forward, I did have a problem with the driver side back hood hinge bolt but finally got that in. If I didn't have to mess with that bolt it would have taken about an hour, that's including all the zip ties and replacing the switch in the cab. Just take out the front hinge bolt, put the bucket in place, hand tighten it, then take out the rear hinge bolt and slide it in to place then tighten everything up.

 

When you take your new setup to your shop for install, they will remove your existing TPMS sensors from your current setup and then move them to the new set. At least that is what Discount Tire did for mine. Not sure what everyone else is seeing.

 

You are correct, They were point more forward when I took the picture, since then I have angled them more out to the sides, took awhile to get the angles right but looks and works like it's supposed to now.

 

It's the top pic in my post. DISCONNECT BOTH! battery terminals and hold them together for about 15min.
I don't see many comments on resetting ecu. Everyone jumps into testing voltage and scanning 1st.
When cable goes out 1st thing you do is reset the modem.
When your phone/pc do an update it asks to do a restart.
Whenever you call any tech support, 1st thing they ask, Did you restart your computer?
Todays vehicles are no different.

 

^^^THIS

 

Installed some black and red sr5 taillights. Bye-bye chrome!

 

Me too! Twinsees.

Have the black TRD 4x4 bed decals ready to install next.

 

Removing the intake accelerator, alone, didn't notice much change.
I can't remember the formula but for every bend in a pipe you can add x-amount of feet in piping. example. 1 90deg bend is equivalent to having an extra 10ft of pipe.
I'll be moving to my exhaust next. Try and open it up a little.
Good flow in, Good flow out.
The less restrictions the better

 

NO MORE CHROME!

 

WICKED COOL

 

In pool plumbing for every elbow in 1 1/2" pipe is equal to 10" of pipe due to cavitation, so less elbows makes the water flow well.....

How can you make the truck sound louder without changing the whole exhaust out ? like giving it a little growl ?

 

That would be great for deer. Do you have a lot of glare off your hood?

 

Literally just did the same

 

I always wondered that about those overhead light bars. I can imagine glare on the windshield, but don't know.
Also wonder if they do glare badly, if many will admit to it after spending so much on the lights & installation. Hopefully neither glare!

 

I've got Rigid floods as ditch lights. I have them pointed out at a 45deg angle and still get glare on the hood. I can't imagine the glare on the hood from having them straight or having a light bar on the roof.

 

Yeah, my ditch lights are in the mirror housing. I haven't noticed any glare, but will have to pay attention now just because...!

Mine are Rigid Spots. Wish I had Floods for better coverage.

 

I literally did the same too. Now should I sell the OEM chrome lights or throw them out. Lol

 

This is how I run aux high beams, DD SSc3 Pro 4K driving lens wired into my high beams but also switched so I can run independently. Mounted on BAMF bracket.

 

New bumper. Definitely worth the wait, c4 got the bumper finished 3 weeks early too

 

@AwesomeLaw68 sensors have to be either cloned from the old ones or scanned and relearned through the OBD. Discount Tire can assist you with the process. I would recommend just getting your wheels and tires from us. @shaggy135 thank you for your business!

@flakbait love the color of the truck. It's our favorite color combination.
