What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed my Readylift swaybar drop brackets finally. Probably common knowledge for most here, but with the OME 2.5" lift kit the swaybar contacts the base of the shock on the driver's side. Installation took all of 30 mins.

 

I installed the URD full exhaust, and the Y-connection is housed in a resonator. That resonator was hitting the cross member when it warmed up, and crating noise, confirmed by the paint being rubbed off the edge of the cross. loosened and adjusted things to no avail. Communicated to URD and they claimed I has a unique issue, and loosen everything and adjust to correct. When I explained that that was attempted x3 and was not going to fix it, they reiterated I was the first, and asked that I stop in at their shop, and they would adjust it. They are a days drive away, so I cut 1/2" out of left and right pipes of the Y, and welded it back together. Problem Solved.

Very nice quality exhaust, but I should not have needed to do that, and I should have been better respected in the conversation. Hope your never hits.

 

OTT Tune thanks to @dave82at!

 

Installed remote start V2 today. Followed the paper instructions step by step and all is good.

 

Finally got off my butt and installed the A/C drip mod that @Vorra65 offers. I was also able to wire in the FBC third brake light harness that @daveeasa offers. Both were so simple. Hate that I waited so long.

 

As well as debadging, I also am in the middle of dechroming the rear caps today. Minor tip / trick if anyone interested - a quick clamp fits just inside one of the tabs perfectly to help hold the bumper by hand or on a spindle using the clamp shaft. I didn't like how the bumpers were sitting on their edges when trying to apply coatings if just laying on cardboard. This lets me have control and spin to where I needed it.

 

Nice touch!

 

That does look soo nice!

 

Smart! I just put gloves on and grabbed it in the same spot

 

Not today, but finally got the OEM spare out from under the truck...and hit the trails for the weekend.

 

Sweet AC

 

I am definitely not a black wheel person, I was going to get the bronze kit but not sure how they will stand up to off roading

 

Perfect

 

‘Ol girl got her 90K check up this afternoon. Oil change, tire rotation, rear diff fluid, cabin air filter, MAF sensor and throttle body cleaned. I took my time and everything went well. This was the first time I’d done the throttle body. Very easy to do, and it wasn’t as dirty as I expected. She’s shiny now! I did replace the gasket while I had it apart.

Last time I changed the rear diff fluid at 60K, I made sure both the drain and fill plugs were torqued to factory spec. But goodness gracious I didn’t think I was ever gonna get the fill plug out. It was extremely tight and started to round out the corners when I did get it loose (!!). Drain plug was no problem at all. Might pick up a spare fill plug at some point just in case I have another problem next time.

 

Nice! Your arrangement of the stuff in the last photo pleases my OCD greatly lol

 

Lol I’m glad! Everything on my shelves/ in my storage cabinets are the same way…neatly organized together.

 

Even God cannot comprehend my organization method.

 

Oh really? I'll have to look closer at mine, will there be bare metal on the base of the shock, on drivers side?

 

Notice any difference in feel when turning with the new location?
