What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I believe he’s talking about the bed boxes from the trail edition? Useful for when you want even less space in your tiny bed

 

That red one I had was a 76, 258.. we had a white 72/304 growing up, the red one was my first one, rolled it end to end, rolled it back over and drove it home, just a windshield and frame, it had a cage.. grey was an 81, rust bucket, and brown is an 80, outa Arkansas, found it on a lot in 89, with 14k on it, had it ever since. They are getting harder to come by, and like most everything else, parts are pretty ridiculous in most cases. I can’t think of any other ride like the old CJ’s, always fun, and the weather offers surprises from time to time.. Dogs love em!

 

Dogs do love Jeeps.

 

They are bed storage boxes that come on the Trail Edition. They are marketed as "coolers" but, the lids are not water tight at all. I tried new seals and that did not work. I tried 25 lbs of dessicant in them and that didn't work. Quite a few tools and pouches and stuff ruined. I gave them to a kid at work. He's gonna use them as live wells when he goes fishing.

 

I had to ween a few when they were pups, but once they know the word, you start having to spell it when you’re around them… LMFAO

 

One of the first things I removed. Nifty idea but execution in reality is they take up a bunch of room and also there isn't much room in them either.

 

Finally got some sun and changed the rear differential fluid.

 

OEM Tailgate lock. Straight forward install

Make sure you have good drainage.

 

Weathertech window deflectors

 

Your lights work real well. Do yo mind saying what kinda of lights you used ? I am interested in lights for our truck. Thank you.

 

I had a busy day of light mods:
Installed an AC drain divert hose
Installed Rear bed lights
Installed DIR license plate harness
I put on the dual color map and dome lights

 

Thanks! I will

 

I put the Fitcamx on my Taco yesterday. A tab broke on the front during install and it does not sit flush in the front. I contacted customer service and they said they will send me a new cover. Otherwise works great. I’m not excited that you have to disable cel data to connect app to camera, but I knew this getting into it. While connected to the app I downloaded files to the album of the app which I believe saved them to phone.even downloading 1 min files took a while. To view a lot of files it was easier to view on computer.

 

I bought these

$35 Nilight 3PCS 60" Bed Light Strip 270 LED with On/Off Switch Blade Fuse Splitter Extension Cable for Cargo Pickup Truck SUV RV Boat

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZLWJZLT/ and trimmed the sides to fit. I wired it into this:

$23 (4 in 1) 12V USB Cigarette Lighter Socket Panel: 78W 3 Ports USB C 12V Outlet Dual PD 30W & QC 18W Port with Voltmeter, Dual 150W Cigarette Lighter Socket with Waterproof Rocker Toggle Switch DC 12V

I put this in.

I took a long time to decide because I couldn’t decide between aftermarket or OEM, but the look great and are about half the price as OEM.

 

I forget where I got mine, but Amazon has a ton. Check here.

 

Got the front bumper re-powder coated and back on. Took it off to change out the LED headlights since the left one went out, decided it was as good a time as any to get her pretty again.
Shout out to Everlast Custom Powder Coating in Ridgefield, WA, they did a GREAT job as usual.





Installed the MOB Armor Magnet Mount and wireless charging doodad thingy.

 

Couldn’t stand the silver so red it is. And this little red protector cap on my trip knob.

 

Awesome thanks
