What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

No doubt...give right nut to own that,lol

 

replaced stock license plate lights with morimoto . Plug and play .
Saturday Im installing auxbeam panel and 4 banger ditch lights hopefully .

 

I threw some Kilmat in all four doors, looking to doing the back of the cab eventually. Pretty easy install just takes forever, definitely an improvement.

 

This afternoon I did a bit of de badging on the doors.

 

Last week I put on Falkens Wildpeak AT4Ws 265/70/17s. They are wider than I thought. Go nice down road. So far so good. Yesterday I had front windows tinted & like a 5 inch windshield tint. So waiting to put back on window shades. Helped on brightness inside

 

Today I put on exhaust tip. And after I installed Bilstein 5100 on rear. Test drove & it was a upgrade imo.. Next Tuesday Bilstein 5100 on front set at 1 to level out the ride

 

Does the exhaust tip change the sound at all, or does it just make the tailpipe fancier?

 

The only reason I put it in is that in winter as it is warming up the exhaust puts moisture on the rear quarter panel (because it needed to be extended) & as I drove down road dust & dirt was sticking to the side of truck. Otherwise I would not have... As you can see in picture I fluid film everything up North here. I could care less what it looks like under there. As long as it helps keep the rust out.

 

Sound. Honestly I never checked. Put it on & drove it. I was shocked at price tho. Kinda like the H.D. Hundred Dollars lol

 

New shoes ... Wildpeaks AT4 from Discount Tire. Also my Rough Country seat covers arrived. But installing in 110-degrees seems not fun so will do that later.

 

lol, I washed my seat covers when they arrived, let them dry, then got them all sweaty installing them.

 

But it is a DRY heat ...

 

I like this post because...... RUST NEVER SLEEPS! ;-)

 

Installed the Rough Country seat covers in my electric seat Taco.

Rear seats ... the only odd thing is a slot in the bottom covers that seems unconnected with any bar or latch. A little pull/tup to get the side hooks to connect. Work the driver side of the 60% from the driver side.

Front seats ... took out seat bolts to work under the seat bottom to pull straps tight and visually place the hooks which must attach to a seat-frame part. Electric/driver side had fewer connect points because of fewer frame elements. Driver side just put the cover partially hiding the electric seat controls because I operate them by feel anyway. May will fix that later when AZ is not 115 degrees ...

Time will tell now, but seems full waterproof coverage.

 

Mine definitely made it louder, inside the cab at least. I’m not sure if it was louder because the tip made the pipe extended further out, or if the sound waves bounced around inside the tip. I have an upgraded muffler so it’s louder to begin with, stock it probably won’t make much of a difference

 

does the other side of the tires have flat lettering?

 

It's just cosmetic, won't change sound. If you want to change sound you need to change muffler and/or cats.

 

Swapped out my lights on Sunday, Baja designs Amber FTW. Did new wheels and tires yesterday. Glad to be back on silver/gunmetal wheels. These SCS wheels give an old school vibe with a modern twist.

 

Carven Exhaust installed this morning.

 

Yes flat on one side. Raised on other. When I said I wanted raised lettering out at tire place the guy at desk said "there not white letter's" I said I know. Raised letters out again. Then it dawned on him. I am way more pleased with the tires then I thought I was going to be. I had the AT3w's on my 2020 & these are far better IMO. I lost no mpg to speak of & they are good in the rain so far. They balanced well too. Price wise not bad imo @ 1034.00
