What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

The Rubber and Tire Association recommends derating the “P” tires if they are used on trucks because they know the service conditions are likely to be more severe than if they were used on a car.

Your tires may be good for 1-2000 hours of driving, but there is a difference between carrying the rated load for 10 hours or 100-200.

Or, to put it in more conventional terms: I can backpack my daughter up a whole BC mountain, but I can probably piggyback my wife across the back yard…what is my load rating?

 

please post photos once you've installed them. I'm in the same boat as you and really want to see how they look on an electric divers seat. Good luck!

 

If both your daughter and your wife are the same weight, what difference does it make which you carry?

Reading your post, I get the feeling you are just making stuff up.

 

For keeping stock steering wheel free of wear and tear Id say its a win. Mine gets alot of dirt and build up there. Usually clean the wheel couple times a year and stock pleather starting to show wear.

 

Who makes the BL for these trucks? Had no idea

Have to relocate any radiator hose etc? Or steering shaft?

 

The “backpack” versus “piggyback” references might have been too subtle….
Anyway, the tables are easy to find if you don’t believe me:

 

Have you had that for a while? I have the same one but they came out with a new version 1.5 years ago.

As of yesterday, I completed relocating the rear differential breather to behind the driver's side tail light.

 

Some feedback on power seats with those covers starting with this post...

Looks brand new.

 

Why. I really like to know?

 

toytec makes the kit. the only thing that gets relocated on a 3rd gen is the fuel filler neck gets a 1" spacer and longer bolt for mounting bracket. the radiator itself stays in factory position. theres enough clearance in the fan shroud that it still clears. the steering shaft has enough play in the splines to accommodate 1". even the wheel well aprons have enough stretch that they still fit and function. id consider it an easy install that took about 2 hours by myself. thats not including me relocating the rear bumper tho. took another hour

 

6112's and RXT, en route!

 

Let’s see - if/when your wife discovers your post (and assuming your backyard is an easier trek than “a whole BC mountain”), it won’t matter that she may actually weigh more than your daughter. Your “load rating” will be in direct proportion to the lightening (not lightning) of your wallet.

 

No issues with the seat covers on my electric seat. Going on 3 years old now.

 

Yeah, I actually clean my engine bay.

 

No. I just bought it from an online source that had an older version for a good price. I do like the clean look of the newer one, but this fits the bill.

I found an online source that had new old stock for a good price. I do like the look of the newer one, but this fits the bill. As for the oil fill issue, I was able to get the tray over far enough to leave a gap between the tray and the fill cap.

 

Wait…you gotta pull the seats out to install the RC’s? Sounds like a pain in the ass. Do they go well over leather? I’m looking for covers cuz I work in the dirt but I’m not enthusiastic about removing the seats to do so lol

 

Funny….

Anyway, I guess no one is picking up that “backpack” implied “toddler,” so my analogy is flawed.
