What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

The learning process is likely confused due to the tune. It uses the perimeters of the original to set the throttle position sensitivity and fuel curves. And, when the ECU get confused, it goes full rich to save the engine. That's one reason to use a piggyback tuner. The signal is adjusted after the ECU so the base numbers stay the same.

 

If you're gonna do it, go all the way! lol

They still represent the "Raptor" emphasis of having lights in the grill.

I love mine...fortunately, I have not been approached by random people making fun of my decision.

I went with smoked ambers and you can't really see them during the day...they only come on when headlights come on.

 

Today my son and I overloaded the shit out of the stock leafs, riding on the bumpstop while moving wood around the yard

 

Damn, I recon

 

Thank you for the info! When I’m ready I’ll check with my local dealer and then go from there. Much congrats they look really good love the black instead of chrome

 

Just got back from my first ride down some mild trails/roads to test her out and hit a shooting spot I scoped out last time when the truck was stock. Big difference in comfort and I just felt planted. I aired down to around 25psi hot and really didn’t need to but did it more for comfort and less stress on truck. I also liked to be able to go slower Aired down still be smooth without having to go 30 to 40mph in order for it to be smooth. Especially on this about one and half car gravel/ washboard road with a lot of blind turns. Anyway the taco did good and passes with flying colors on her modest first time offroad adventure since the lift



The shooting spot

I was the last man standing I didn’t want to leave was having so much fun shooting everything that didn’t move


now it’s time to test my new compressor and air up. Tomorrow will be truck wash day I’m in no hurry I think it looks good dirty lol. But I do have to clean these and not feeling it but will.After I have a cold beverage I think

 

Are those 37's or 35's? Looks good.

 

Thanks Brother!
Actually 33’s on 16’s I think it makes it look like it’s on a bigger tire for sure

 

Greenwater area?

 

With my wife's nephew's help we installed the Sokie Tech hood struts. My problem is I did not have any metric sockets. On the '22, the hood hinge bolts are 12mm. One possible tip for others, when installing the post in the engine compartment near the air filter on the passenger side, we opted to open the filter box, removed the filter, and QTY (3) 12mm bolts that held the lower part of the filter box in place. Taking that out made post installation a piece of cake.

I'll add that the hood bolts were not that tight, and an open-ended / adjustable wrench would have worked fine to remove them - a 12mm socket wasn't necessary. A 10mm deep socket to install the posts in the engine bay is not required either. YMMV.

 

No around Gales creek Oregon going towards tillamook/coast

 

Looks beautiful and a lot like a place I go.

 

I am from the PNW as well. Nice looking truck. I love the 16” pro rim with 285’s. Perfect stance imo.

 

30K maintenance
Oil, filter, K&N air filter clean, cabin filter, rear diff oil chg, rotate, JBA UCA lube.
Oh what a feeling to do ur own, no dealer bs or ridiculous costs.

 

That's what I did today. Got the filter box cover out of the way. Hope your are happy with end results. I am

 

Thanks it really is
Great minds think a like

 

Nice looking truck too !!
Thanks I’m really enjoying it if you know any good hangouts / trails let me know.
Cheers

 

Finally got aux wiring finished with help (meaning I kinda helped a little but mostly stayed out of the way) from @Shveet

And inspired by @ClassyTacos without the Pelican budget, I put a small case on the fuse box lid because I can. If it looks crooked, it is!

 

I really only run mine on the trails, and most of the time it’s strobing along with my chase light.

Not really sure why people throw fits over a small lighting mod like Raptor lights anyway. It’s a cheap and simple mod that lots of folks seem to like, so they do it. Hell, it’s likely the first mod that a younger owner may have done on any vehicle.

 

Pulled a motor out of a wrecked truck to put into my truck. Got it pulled from start to finish in just under 2 hours with 3 of us guys total, not bad.
