What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I think it is. I got a Meso key fob and I like it and think it’s well made but didn’t like the extra thickness and switched it back. If I had a keyed ignition I think it would be worth the switch.

 

Pickaroon from Menards?

 

I got it off Amazon. It was some German name. But ya that thing is a life saver! Really helps moving firewood rounds into a splitter

 

120,000 Miles. Original owner. Second set of plugs. I change them every 60k

 

capt got it right, I believe it's my HD bucket that sits in front of my truck in the garage I use for car washing

 

Well here's what a pressure washer and some ArmorAll wheel cleaner can do.

 

I thought you might have had some blue and reds in there. I was like damn, this guys got some balls.

 

nope, just an orange and a blue bucket reflecting back! I already have plenty of illegal lights anyways, don't need anything impersonating an officer too...

 

As an SR5 guy, I think the meso flipkey fob is awesome. I need to take it apart and tighten the spring a little to remove some slight rattle I'm experiencing right now, but that's a known/solvable issue with it that I was unfortunate enough to experience out of the box.

The lady at Ace was super sketched out about copying my key to the fob, had to call her manage over for approval. She seemed to not care, and didn't even charge me for it. She just didn't want to take the liability for potentially messing it up.

 

Installed the TGP Sony XAV-9500ES kit, Morimoto 3rd brake light, Total Chaos bed stiffeners, Baja Designs Squadron fog lights, and swapped my AJT Designs door covers for the Meso Customs covers. The brake light install was much harder than it should've been. I kept dropping the damn body clips which made this take longer than it needed to lol.

 

I drilled some holes in my bed… it was Total Chaos!

 

Looks good! I just did the same. Are you going to cut your mat around the stiffeners or keep them laying over? I'm leaning towards just having mine lay over.

 

Loaded the bed with Mulch and gravel.

10 bags of mulch wasn't too bad.


1000lbs of gravel. Calculated weight was just under payload. Handled it like a champ.

 

Got the tonneau cover on. I have had trucks for over 20 years and this is the first time I ever put a tonneau cover on. I'll see how this one goes. It was inexpensive.

 

As far as I’m concerned, it stays like it is right now no need to overcomplicate.

 

I agree, swapping out that 3rd light wasn't hard but definitely a P.I.T.A. maybe the most frustrating process of any mod I've done.

 

Mounted my new Maxtrax. Couldn’t justify $100 (at least) just for the brackets so I made some out of some scrap aluminum I had. $30 Amazon mounting pins and some hardware later I’m very happy with it.

This could also be called a really expensive wind fairing….

 

Doesn't look bad at all. I like the low profile. Link?

 

It was $20 off when, I ordered a few days ago. Don't know if it still is.
