What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Always a great idea to have a good kit in the vehicle for sure! While many folks have basic First Aid, CPR/AED these days (wish more did, though) taking an Emergency Medical Responder course (56 hours through American Red Cross) would be better still! https://www.redcross.org/take-a-class/emergency-medical-response

 

For sure man, glad to hear the school has some good resources and is being proactive about it. As far as your dance-dad parade taco, I've been there lol. I drove my truck in my local parade with my daughter in the back throwing out candy a couple years back. Had I been as cool as you, I would've thrown a bucket seat in the back for her, but my carpeted bed platform did the trick lol. I joked with her for weeks about threatening to ratchet strap her down like a seatbelt so she wouldn't fall out. I guess I found that funnier than she did

 

Washed and detailed it.

 

Installed the full Chrome delete kit from AJT Design over the weekend. Had already done their door handle covers and was very happy so went for the full kit. Looks great and Mike from AJT was a big help with making sure I got the pieces I needed.

 

Welp, finally quit being a chickenshit and did the viper cut I've been wanting to do for about 2 years now.

 

Doggos seem less than impressed.

 

To be fair they are super critical of all my endeavours. They just want to eat cat poop.

 

Lifted the truck, 3” Ironman lift and 255/80/17 falken wildpeak. Looking for a super low profile mud flap… the husky ones I was hoping for pictured below are discontinued apparently. Anyone know of any similar flaps?

 

@44-16 Taco At this point, I guarantee you spent far more time researching, pondering, second guessing, than it took to do the cut and install.
Looks great! Way to man up. Maybe we can get @RIX TUX to send out your man card! No offense meant. Lol

 

Facts. I have high hopes on finally qualifying for the elusive man card.

 

I added a band aid.

..when the trail rash just won’t buff out..

 

Man there are a lot screws in those mudflaps.

 

True.

 

No kidding lol. The dealer installed those apparently. We get snow and ice here so with an extra 10lb of ice hanging off those flaps I’m sure those help.

 

“Pretty easy job. Not sure what all the fuss was about.”

Did you get all 8?

 

Yeah it seems the more they try to fix the more things get messed up sometimes.

It’s always important to know how to use the med equipment in the kits. I retired from the military so the stuff in the kits I made were things I used in the military and was trained to use. I just had to give my wife and kids a rundown on how to use the items. I was impressed both my kids knew how to use the CAT tourniquets already from a class in they’ve taken in school.

Coming up to serious accidents is always a scary thing. Luckily I haven’t had to deal with too many. A couple roll overs that the people only sustained minor injuries and one person that got ran over but only her ankle was affected and was contained in her boot, treating her shock was the biggest thing in that event. That’s why I put some emergency blankets in the trauma kit.

 

I took it camping over the 3 day weekend.

 

I've got the NSP (ski Patrol) medical refresher coming up at the end of next month. I'll go through my truck kit after that to freshen it up.
In winter I carry space blankets, regular blankets and a spare parka with gloves.

I was first on at car wrecks twice last winter. I don't like it when I am unprepared.

 

Today I dropped off my Leer camper shell so it can be sent back to the factory. Less than two months of ownership and the paint is peeling around the passenger side window.
