What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just blue haha. Contemplating using red.

 

It was too cold for a wash at 7:30 tonight, so here she is with the new wheels and tires.

 

Now you need to get the wheels and tires dirty to match the truck.

 

Now that is funny right there.

 

Looking good!

 

New Denso iridium spark plugs installed today in the V6 engine at 70K/52 mos. Read that it was recommended at 60K for the engine. However, the removed spark plugs didn't look too bad when replaced. Probably could have waited until 90K.

 

if they are too hard to remove the thieves might damage the hood, fenders, windshield trying to get them off

 

So the last couple days I added a digital mirror that has a front and rear dash cam as well as parking mode. It records 4k in the front with audio and 2.5k in the rear. Camera angles are adjustable and the rear camera can zoom which is nice. It brings up rear camera when shifted to reverse as it normally would and its mounted to my bed rack so it doesnt get covered by snow and dirt so i shouldnt have to wipe it off before every drive in winter now. I wired it into the factory wiring for the stock rearview mirror for a clean and simple wire setup. The quality is great and the parking mode records in time-lapse up to 48hrs. Tested it last night and it recorded all night in 5° weather without draining the battery or filling the SD card and the remote start still worked fine this morning. I added a wireless android auto adapter as well which also gives me the ability to stream on the headunit and use the touchscreen itself . I know alot of folks on here don't care for that but I enjoy being able to watch Netflix or put something on for my kid while waiting on the other half to do her thing at different places. Very happy with the outcome of both mods as it really makes the drive more enjoyable for me. Of course these gifs don't show the full quality but this threads about the pictures and quality content not video quality.

 

Tried installing alpharex headlights. Going to take this POS off.

 

At minimum it would buy us some time to retaliate.

 

Remember to apply the parking brake.

 

Make sure you order two

 

theyll just take the whole truck. its fine

 

So, these arrived today. Guess I have plans for a couple hours on Saturday.

 

Dang. That would be about maybe 6 or more beers for that job. For me anyway.

 

I received a set of WeatherTech ventguards from a friend for Christmas for the Taco.

 

And a kind soul nearby made this for me.

 

Indeed, thank ya Marine

 

cool stuff - been looking at the Wolfbox brand myself for the rear view now that I am running a canopy - the model 900 one in particular, but doing research still.

@1TACOTONY any insights on what brand would be appreciated. thanks!

 

Are those 35's?
