What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I have the drivers grab handle, the 2 rear grab handles and the on screen display from them and they all are good. No issues with any of them.

 

I added some courtesy lights that turn on when the truck is unlocked. I used the VLED footwell lights as the trigger into a relay. The relay is on a 5A circuit to then power a simple LED strip attached to step bar.
Here is a quick video of the functionality.

 

Overall how hard was that for a beginner. I’ve always thought letting a shop do it is best bc they have a warranty and accountability on their work

 

This picture was the sole reason I went out and purchased my JBLs back in the day. I believe those are the century L-100s

 

Nice ! Yea brings back memories for me to

 

Someone buy my shocks

Another relaxing week of camping with my spouse, my dog and my Taco.

 

Installed a Kenwood X802-5 amp under the drivers seat. Don't think I want to do this again.. Just powering the factory non-JBL speakers for now.

 

Your doggo really looks like he needs a treat or something

 

Dog bed installed. Lo Star front skid plate, alignment, and 33s. Spare tire is in bed not underneath. Factory tonneau cover installed. Just need some gas and ready to hit some trails out west.

 

Prepped paint, then added ceramic coating. I know darker colors would show better, but still shows some reflection even on white.

 

I don’t know about prior drama, but everything went smoothly for me.

 

Yeah - I didn’t want to have a “POOF! Oh… that’s why…” moment.

 

Just did this in about 40 minutes all by my lonesome. First time under my taco, first time using a proper torque wrench. Nailed it, but what a pain in the ass. Next time I'm callin' a buddy to come help.

And yes I was nervous using these Hobo Freight ramps for the first time, so I threw every jack and stand I had under that thing. This truck is heavy!

 

I changed my alpha red headlights to have the DRL's be orange

 

I thought that image was from a Memorex commercial? Been many many years!

Edit - Found it. Maxell Tapes ad.

 

Was the bed stiffener install simple? Did you paint or treat the holes drilled into the sides?

 

I added a removable piece to my 22 Sport front panel, to allow oil filter changes without having to remove the full panel. It uses plastic push clips to hold it in place.

 

Got hit by a CRV .. I'd say he was going about 30? Maybe faster? There were no skid marks and we were on a 2 lane highway that leads to Atlantic City.

Here's the initial damage.

Here's my fix:

My bumper and receiver both got tweaked downward quite a bit. My damage wasn't that bad, but it really sucked because my tailgate got dented. That's still not 100%and every time I look at the creased bumper cover it pisses me off. Tailgates and bumpers seem to never elude damage on pickup trucks.

I'm over it... it just means I don't clean it as much now
