What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Did they adjust the throttle tip in for you, if not go back? I had the lite /mild also and thought the throttle was too touchy for my liking. Found out they can now adjust the throttle tip in so I talked to him and went back. Decided to try the mild/medium with a tip in he chose based on our talk and it is literally perfect. I am in love with it now.

 

Not flashy or exciting but wool wax underneath to keep the rust away.

 

Nope stock gears.

I’m kind of curious as to how the fire extinguisher is secured. Seems it could potentially become a projectile, at head level, in the event of an accident.

 

I took the panel off and secured it with nuts, bolts and washers. The bracket is designed for automotive and seems to hold the bottle securely.

 

My latest mods with @marinemonkey help. He did my CMC. I highly recommend his work. While we are at it, I finally got my BBK installed. I have it for over a year.

 

I just went to 33’s with stock gears and noticed a little more fuel consumption right away as well as increased braking distance. Might go to 35’s eventually. Did you do the CMC? Did you you need a shim/spacer up front? Just wondering if there’s any contact with the UCA’s. TIA

 

need to know what wheels you have and tire size to have any idea

 

I have 16x8” wheels, 0° offset with 4” backspace. 285/75/16 tires. Eventually want to go with 315/75/16 tires.

 

You’ll need spacers or you’ll rub on full lock for sure

 

That’s what I thought. Thanks man!

 

I share your frustration of not having a clear vision due to the steering wheel and then the fact that you can't really tell which or even if you are touching ons of the buttons. Thanks for sharing this.

And actually, $30 is not that bad lol

I was looking at this: https://jjperformanceclt.com/products/billet-switch-pro-cover-sp9100

 

Saving yourself $100 for the same functionality makes $30 seem downright pleasant.

 

Yep, just ordered it from SwitchPros

 

Nice job,
I so miss Florida. Wish my parents still had their home there.
Ormond Beach gated community. on a golf course...

 

After driving on what are almost 34" tires it all depends on where you live and how you drive as to a regear. Around Indy here (which is flat as a pancake) I hardly noticed a difference over stock tires. Driving south to deer hunt through the hills south of Bloomington was a different story. Wasn't very pleasent running 5300 rpm's to maintain speed.

 

Well, technically it was yesterday but I made it pull this crappy tank of a trailer for a 600 mile round trip to pick up some furniture in Archdale, NC.



Empty weight on the 6x12 trailer is 1920 lbs. Return weight was about 2400 lbs.

It was a good way to get to know one of the truck’s capabilities, though I didn’t buy it to be a hauler.

It drank like Nicolas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas, but again, not why I bought it. I also could have been less of a lead foot.

For me, seats were fine, experience was fine, glad to know in a pinch what I’d feel comfortable towing.

Worst part of the trip was the condition of 85 northbound through SC while under construction.

 

I know what you mean. Living here and driving 85 every day has been awful for years now, under construction or not.
