What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I got the Magbak phone case for my iPhone and it came with a magnetic strip to act as a mount. At first I highly doubted my phone would stay put being how vertical the stance is, and my phone is the iPhone pro which is on the heavier side of the iPhone because of the camera. But after a couple days I was surprised how well the phone stays. I like how minimal the mount looks and am pretty satisfied with the case and mount. The magnet is pretty strong.

 

Had the Bak-flip cover installed today and couldn't be happier ! While I was there I ordered some Bilstein adjustable front shocks to bring the front end up just a tad and so should have them installed next week

 

I love these, but $150 !?

 

^

Cheaper than repainting the sides of the truck.

 

I financially support this crazy engine as much as anyone. Just seems things are more expensive than they need to be.

 

Screws and plastic, and cheaper to produce now days with printers and shit. Why so $$$ ?

 

Because they can and people will pay. Good on them for the hustle.

 

What tent are you using? Any pros or cons? TIA

 

Im using a right line gear bed tent.

This tent doesnt have a under tarp that lines the bed, this is both a pro and a con. Its nice that I dont have to unload the bed to set it up and I can have a bed platform, but the con is that its not sealed all the way around, so bug can get in. But since it doesnt have a bottom, it fits on with my tonneau cover folded up, other brands you cant have a tonneau cover and use the tent.

But overall its a nice tent, fits well and is pretty durable, but nothing that any other brand cant do also.

I got it in 2018, set it up once then was paralyzed from the waist down with spinal damage due to west nile virus, I have since healed up (still have a fair amount of leg pain and numbness), but I decided I really need to get out and enjoy this tent before winter hits.

 

Thanks for the info. I've been considering a bed tent to get off the ground in my tent. Sorry to hear about your health problems, but glad you're doing better.

 

It used to on my 2018 HU, but the 2022 HU while Car Play is on holding down the call button does not activate Siri

 

I have considered this same thing. I could easily build something to be an insert... its just where do I put it when I am not camping and all the tools need to go back in??

 

Sign of the times. Don't spend too much time in this forum or you'll end up buying all kinds of stuff for your truck.

 

Man those look good... I saved their website for future use. My new tires def kick some rocks around and i got a few small paint chips on my rear fender flares but that was my bad for flying down a gravel road. I like the flaps and the practicality but I just like the no flap look more.

 

This site has cost me thousands.

 

10k+ for me...

 

I have found this site to be very informative before making purchases and love to find cool new things. However, example…..I’m not paying over $100 for seat jacks no matter how much I need them.

 

A few things yesterday and today,

Trimmed up the rubber mat more on the spare tire so it fits without rubbing anything under the truck.
Ran some wiring for the SS3 pro ditch lights and arb twin. Everything is finally operational.
Installed the warranty replacement Bakflip X4S tonneau.
Renewed Sirius xm subscription.
Oil and filter change.


Lift and new wheels mounted soon.

 

Same.

I'm well past that amount.

 

I'm in it for about 8k... do tell.
