What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

You didn't plan to actually USE the skid plate?

 

Subjective or objective?

 

I've had a "tune", changed the intake snorkel to the TRD air accelerator and installed the HPS silicone tube. In combination this has improved acceleration and towing performance. Subjective because this is my conclusion determined over 2 years of use.

 

I got like 1 extra MPG but that's gone now since I added new wheels and tires. Sounds like a proper engine now though, she gets REALLY loud when I punch it. 4K rpm and it's almost a little too unbearable. Worth it.

 

Pedal depth is measured in millimeters.

 

Clean color

 

And I need to explain this because??

 

Filled up today. 320 to 325 is the average for me. Not sure why yours would be any different. Perhaps a hard system reset? Pull negative and positive cables off of the battery, clamp them together for 10 minutes or so for a fresh start? (Reconnect the positive, then the negative cable) Some folks just pull the negative cable and wrap it in a towel to keep it from touching the terminal for 10 minutes or so.

 

Looking at your listing picture the skid plate looked fine, I'm confused what you thought a skid plate was for?

 

So you're confused. Not my problem.
OK, I'll bite. I'm not selling because of damage or I don't expect a skid plate is going to get dinged up. I'm selling because I underestimated the bulk of the steel plate and realized it's overkill for the way I use my truck. I should have went with an aluminum OEM or aftermarket skid plate. Anything offering more protection than the stock 'splash guard'. If I don't sell it in a reasonable amount of time, I'll put it on and that's that. Peace and Love.

 

Technically it was yesterday, but replaced the OEM Tonneau Cover with a Diamondback HD. Yakima OutPost rack and bike carriers soon to be fitted.

 

Nice!

New tires, new tire nubs, enjoy that new ride feeling!!

 

So you tried to get them to take it back first? And because you told them it was damaged and their fault they said no you can’t return it?

 

@Taco22trdor
Did you get your sliders installed?

 

Nice choice, that smooth version looks nice!

 

My Saturday morning project. The package came yesterday while the wife was working and I did the install while she was at a hair appointment this morning so she's none the wiser Butt dyno says a bit more throttle response, and there is more growl when you give it the beans. I was amazed to find the nuts on the clamps for the OEM intake tube were completely loose. Not even hand tight!

 

We think so as well. Really happy with the purchase. And, since they are in our back yard, visited the factory to have it installed by the folks who know best how to do it.

 

I never tried to get RCI to accept return of product. That would have been unethical on my part. I suppose part of it was me getting caught up in the 'discount' frenzy during the Memorial Day sale. I realized my mistake the moment I unboxed the skid plate. RCI provides a sales contact that customers can use to improve their quality of service. I used this contact to describe the damage to my skid plate during shipment and ways that this damage may be prevented in the future. END OF STORY!

 

I wondered what was different (smooth finish) when I first saw your DB. I was going to ask how the install went. I went step by step through the instructions and it was a little bit of a job. Got a neighbor to help and got it done but can't say I would ever like to take it off and have to reinstall. Good you got all the cleats preinstalled. I added the four inner cleats after my initial install.

 

Removal and reinstallation of my Diamondback cover is surprisingly easy. It’s finding a place to put the cover when it’s off that is difficult.
