What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just pad swap is probably one of the easiest I’ve done. I didn’t bleed the brakes.
Changing rotors is another level of complexity though.

 

the bed seal project continues. Today I...
- Installed ESI trailgate seals
- crawled under my truck and seals the openings near my tailgate that goes into my bed with aluminum foil tape. it probably isn't perfect but will surely help
- Glued cubby hole covers on. Big thanks to @Buhlockaye for the file to print these out. They worked perfectly.

Next I need to fill some small gaps between my tailgate and bed. Might use GE Advance Silicone II to plug those tomorrow.

 

well it is daytime

 

Uh yeah, does not compute...

 

Damn! I've been wanting one of these too.

 

LOMAX matte black

 

That looks great! I dig that grill emblem too

 

Windows tinted. Probably my favorite accessory. Don’t like calling it a “Mod”.

 

Installed DiamondBack Switchback cover

 

VLEDS tucked inside them PRO Tails, both new

 

Got an exhaust reroute done and wrapped it with exhaust heat wrap

Ig @4x4slowcoma

 

I heard that there are two cross members that get removed also, is this true?

 

That looks cool, why did you re route your exhaust?
Wrapping the exhaust pipe, does that serve any benefit from it?

 

No

 

How did you spread calipers to get new pads in? Just pressure?

 

I use a c-clamp.

 

Excellent, I'll use my c-clamp as well when the time comes.

 

I rerouted it because thats the lowest point under the truck. I added a crawl box that I wanted to weld a plate to the cross member to mount the crawl box for support also similar to this. I only wrapped it so the heat from the exhaust doesnt affect the plastic on the transfer case actuator and the shifter cable.

 

If you're just doing a pad slap I hope your rotors aren't excessively mirrored.
