What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I saw that, im just saving up a little bit of cash, then will order my bumper & light bar & aux beam. Still looking at bumpers of what one i want.

 

It’s not at all. There’s not a super good way or place to mount it in my opinion. I’m going to out some time into coming up with a better plan for a long term solution. For now everything is usable and in a spot where I didn’t have to make any major changes to the truck. The attached photo is during the install process so at that time none of the wires were really cleaned up yet but it for some reason is the only photo I took.

 

Mine looks similar, i just bundle the wires and zip tied it. I used 3m tape to attach both on the fuse box. I didnt want to drill any holes like others have done.

 

Yeah I saw some videos of people drilling into the top of the box…that seems like a recipe for disaster. I wanted the box to sit further back but with the setup the provided I couldn’t make that happen so I have it located temporarily with some L brackets and a piece of flat stock. I want to make my own bracket eventually that will allow easy access to the fuse box, it’s currently blocked

 

Free at last ….





Also made final payment this month.

 

That looks insanely good. What is the offset ?

 

Added a few "creature comfort" things recently. Tackform phone mount and an extra little storage bin.

 

-10 offset

 

Still thinking of removing my decals. I can't really stand the red accents! I would leave them if they were shades of gray! I just assume I don't really want the hassle of cleaning up the left behind goop!

 

Lots of all grey/black replacements on etsy/ebay, and removing is easy with a plastic razor blade, heat gun/hair dryer and some goo-gone

fwiw

 

Yah... just got to hit the priority for my time I guess! If I go through the effort to remove them I doubt I will install new ones. I would look at them all the time and somehow believe they were crooked!

It also works great for removing tar, sap and a lot of other gunk without doing any harm to the clear coat. Body shop recommended it years ago and it's been in my chemical supply ever since.

 

Only thing I did was drive it.......to the lake for some fishing.

 

I used googone on my wife's hyundai to remove tree sap and it removed the sap but it f'd up the clear coat

 

Nice lake! I love me a body of water!

 

I got that tank of fuel I've been savings up for. Whew, I can't keep up this pace of spending on the truck. At this rate, I'll have to dip into retirement. I think tinting the front windows is next on the list.

 

Gave her a bath and put oem black mirror caps on!

 

Washed and applied Adams Graphine Ceramic coat. Added front Husky Liners.

 

Looks excellent. What sliders are those?
