What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Found this photo of him and his dog ...

 

I picked up the 3 ton Daytona. 2 or 2 1/2 ton seemed like it would work but none incorporated 24" lift, low profile, and the long handle was a bonus. Super steady and squares up with all jack points well. Weighs in at 109 lbs, but at that point, what's an extra 10 lbs. Great on concrete.

 

Any idea which bed cap he has? Both are good looking trucks. A small lift would do wonders for yours.

 

So I bought some cheap Chinese knockoff blacked out headlight housings off Amazon. Got H9 bulbs to put in them. My question is does anyone else want to admit they have done the same the and if so, would you recommend adding another seam of silicone around them to prevent moisture?

I haven't gone through one but i usually just wash the truck at home. Plus I have antennas mounted to mine so it wouldn't work anyways for that reason alone.

 

So i did a thing. My dumbass put fine scratches on my windshield with a Scotchbrite pad. Was cleaning bug guts off it and thought I had a bright idea…. Bright as a busted light bulb I guess. So I Google how to. I get some of my wife’s toothpaste and slap some on my orbital polisher and go to town on it with a polishing pad. No dice. Dunno if I used the right stuff or not enough. Who’s got the rub on this? Should I use some Mothers or…?

 

There is a member, I’m drawing a blank on the name… but I think he is from Florida, maybe an mgm taco. He talks about how to polish glass. He said fast, light touch, lots of paste.
Also I think you are not supposed to use your wife’s toothpaste. How come you ain’t got no toothpaste? From what I know both male and female genders of the human race have teeths.

 

I'd bet a months pay there is a how-to on YouTube for this. Some glass shops will also offer the service. In the future #0000 steel wool is generally safe for glass.

 

Glass is one of those that is very hard (heh) but still can relatively easily get scratched by things. If you've got a wool pad, buy some glass polish and give it a shot. If it doesn't come out, there's not much else you can do. Glass polish can only go so far unfortunately, but it will be your only luck, it's significantly more aggressive than anything you'd use on your paint. I've used Sonax's Glass Polish before with decent luck for lighter scratches.

 

What a great idea. Inexpensive too. Thanks for sharing.

 

That wooden-crossbar bar makes a difference, I think. Not expensive but just a little custom fitting for your truck I guess.

 

I've got the same Victory 4x4 aluminum front bumper with hoop. No issues with TSS after about 10K miles. My grill is the OEM TRD Pro-style and I swapped my sensor and front camera over from original Sport grill.

 

More details please or maybe a full writeup? Do you have a link to the switch? STL file for the 3D printed adapter plate?

 

These work great.

@bjmusico How was the shipping time, customer service etc? Reading the forums. It sounds like there were issues at one point. Interested to know if that's been resolved.

 

I don't recall having any issues when I got it last year. Looking at my e-mails, I placed order on 9/25/23 and bumper was shipped on 10/17/23. I also ordered some interior console molle panels, but those shipped within a couple days. Pretty sure the bumpers are made-to-order and I was expecting about 30-day lead time. Customer service seemed fine, but I also didn't need to contact them for anything. Note that the only e-mails I received were order confirmation and notice when shipped (with tracking number). I'm a few hours away from Victory 4x4 in Michigan, so your actual shipping time may be a bit longer.

I also ordered a set of bed molle panels more recently. Ordered on 5/14/24 and were shipped on 5/31/24. Not sure if those are made-to-order or in batches.

 

Thanks man! Sounds like they went through a hiccup.
Anyone else out there who have ordered from victory with no problems?
