What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Weboost kit set up:

 

was the bottom end and mid range as notable as their claims?

 

I disabled the chime myself, cost me $6.00.



It's used to secure doggos but it also doubles as a keychain/lanyard occasionally.

Edit: before I get flamed, it's used 99% of the time on my passenger seat since that's where my small travel cooler sits...and it's just too heavy. I've used it a few times on my seat on forest roads and trails at low speeds when I've had to get out every few minutes to move brush or whatnot. I'm not looking for a Darwin award nomination ya'lls.

Little sand dune fun with my daughter:

 

The paint should hold up. But, I won't complain if it doesn't as drums are consumable parts and will eventually be replaced. I did four coats, a light tack coat, a second light tack coat, and two heavier coats. Waited about 15 minutes between each tack coat and 30 minutes between each heavy coat. I also taped off the mating surface of the drum as I coat this area with anti-seize and it's hidden by the wheel. The paint doesn't offer anything except beauty and the rust on the drum is just surface rust. Really, I did this just because I could. I already had the wheels off for the undercoating process and I needed to check the rear brakes as the 30k service interval calls for a visual inspection. If you're going to do this, I recommend getting a wire brush attached to a drill to knock off large rust flakes, dirt, etc.; a can of Brakleen; one can of matte black caliper paint, some painters tape, and a sharp knife. Knock off all of the loose stuff with the brush, clean the rotor face with the Brakleen, tape off the mating surface, and go to town with the paint.

I appreciate the commentary about keeping things clean and new-looking. When I buy something, I try to keep it in good condition. With winter coming, I don't want to be sifting through piles of parts, junk, etc. in the freezing weather. Additionally, CDOT applies Magnesium Chloride as a liquid to the roads which has been known to cause serious corrosion [1] [2] hence the desire to undercoat the truck. I'm not sure how the Cosmoline will hold up to a high-pressure undercarriage wash such as those found in touchless car washes, but I might find out come the first snow storm. Or, I might get an undercarriage washer such as this one from Adam's.

Let me know if you have any questions

 

Out of curiosity… which exact ones are those. I like them too. I want something that doesn’t have to be a focal point and had a look at their site and wasn’t sure which you had compared to the others.

 

Busy day here with installs.

Is he dead yet?

 

Truck looks great!

 

It's been a progressive and successful morning for me today. I have installed an el cheapo side step that I prepped with a few coats of bed liner, and also prepped the "mating" parts with some flex seal rubber sealant I have laying around for more than 2 years, the preps were all done yesterday, and installed this morning.

Also received and installed console cushion and organizer from Amazon.

I also re-torqued my Catshield bolts while I'm down there.

 

Really like the look of those wheels. What are they?

 

Living in the Kootenays is like being at the zoo every day.
