What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Very nice looking truck.

 

You need to get to the point where the scratches make no difference…

I do like seeing pictures of clean pickup beds and imagining how mine would look. In 5 years I have yet to run a hose in the back of mine. It will just get dirty next week so why bother.

I’ve grown fond of my collection of mud, branches and bugs. A complete biosphere back there.

 

That's a Nice Grille you have there, What Brand is that, I like the placement of the lights and letters.

 

Ever think of investing in goat truck armor? https://goat-truckarmor.com/

 

Where can I purchase those brackets?

 

VERY NICE INDEED! What bumper is that?

 

Man that looks fun!

 

your engine compartment needs a cleaning...

 

No. I don’t spend much any money on my trucks, only bare essentials. A wee bit better shocks, tires, roof rack for boat and a toolbox for recovery gear. Then just drive em.

Hey, 40 years at this. As long as they get me in and back out, all good.

Some rubbing compound to get the big scratches less evident.

I had an 86 F150 I bought brand new. Basic 4x4, 4spd 300ci straight 6. Steel interior floors, steel interior ceiling, no power anything, bench seat, no AC, beast of a truck and ultra reliable.

First year, based on some topo maps I head up a really steep mountainside to try and reach a hike in only lake. So 3 miles of less than truck width trail, no turnaround.

I reverse the 3 miles back down. No backup camera of course. Drive reverse 5 feet. Stop, correct forward and then again another 5 feet reverse. Repeat.

About 100 brutal truck length deep scratches, both sides.

After 2 days of rubbing compound, got them down to about 50% of what they started at.

Just kept driving it, about 40 trips per year off road with that truck, all over BC hunting for small remote lakes.

Can’t beat it, still live for it.

Back out again tomorrow to see how deep the snow has gotten since last week.

 

New lighting - Diode Black Friday deal.

Can actually see that beautiful hickory brown at night. I’ve been obsessed with this interior since the 3rd gen rolled out when I was an awkward high schooler whipping around in a 96 accord with no a/c and manual windows in south Louisiana.

 

Changed the oil and filter. Was going to rotate my tires but can't find the Damm key for the lock nuts

 

It was OEM Premium Non-JBL. I replaced all speakers and dinomatted the doors. No amp or sub yet. The speakers put out pretty good bass on there own. I have the ex-crossover settings to gain more bass without damage. I would like to do an under the set sub at some point. I just have to cool down the credit card.lol.

 

Rad. I have the OG version in my MK3 Supra.

 

dust is good protection from dust.

I usually just got with spray and pray...

 

Thank you for choosing us!

 

Just wanted to let you all know that 4wp right now has their sliders for around 200 bucks. May not be the prettiest ones ever, but for 400 bones shipped I couldnt say no.

Definitely is. Odd that after a lifetime of fishing, hunting, exploring, and working a long time on high seas commercial fishing boats, I never tire of it. Always looking forward to the next outing.

Best part is trying to find new remote lakes in BC that are hard to reach. When I find a new one, it is the best feeling. Solitude, nature, quiet...

 

That's the next thing on my list for audio is to replace the speakers and surround the speaker mounting holes with some sound deadener. Also plan on adding a sub like the JL Audio Stealthbox at some point in the future. I currently have a 5-channel under the drivers seat powering the factory speakers.

 

Got the same one in my 2016 Ltd. I get a lot of positive comments. Not really common apparently.
