What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I paid for a front end alignment, before and after, would anyone complain about this? Anyone find these numbers acceptable? Tia.



Standard ome 2" medium lift, with OME UCA's.

I should have pointed out, the before reading was after I removed LCA both sides, replaced bushings, and reinstalled using just eyeballs and sharpy breadcrumbs marked on the camber bolts.

 

Bought a 6ton press to install LCA bushings, anyone in tampa area need to rent it for the same task?

 

Changed my oil and did a little power steering fluid flush. Switched over to the metal oil filter cover. Sent an oil sample off to Blackstone. I'll see how Supertech is doing with 5,000 mile oil changes.

 

its crazy to install better lights then block them out. i love my bright lic plate lights and might do the front plate too

 

Gave it a good cleaning inside and out. Then installed OEM tailgate remote lock/unlock. So glad the tailgate locks/unlocks with the key fob now. 2 things of note:

1) I’ve got an SR5 so I didn’t have a harness already going down the passenger frame to zip tie onto. I had to pick and choose different holes on the frame to zip tie onto, no big deal.

2) The OCD in me kinda hates seeing silver heat protected harness in my rear wheel well. I think I’ll get over that with time.


Truthfully the hardest part was getting the kick panel interior piece to snap back into place. With some finagling I finally got it back into proper placement. I’m not mechanically inclined at all and this took me an hour and a half.

 

I have the G900. I like everything about it except night time driving. The display brightness, even on it's lowest setting, is still way too bright at night. It will light up the entire cab of the truck. The image quality at night is also no where near what they claim. I end up shutting the display off at night and just use side mirrors.

I also added a second camera on the back of my camper so I can run taht one when towing. Had to spice in a disconnect in the right spot for the camera wire, but it works great.

 

One of the improvements of the G900 Pro with night driving is a clearer image, although the G900 has a brighter image. Based on your feedback though, it doesn’t sound like that is necessarily better.

Correct.

 

What's your suspension set up? Looks like the tech ran out of castor which is typical unless u chg UCA with built in castor like JBA or other.

 

Been a while since I've done anything to it but recently had the stripes painted on the bed sides and changed the wheel and tire setup. Went to 17 x 8.5 -12 Black Rhino Primm Beadlocks with Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/Ts 295/70/17's.

 

Added an Amazon RTT. Time to go test it out.

Not planning on it staying on year round. Plan to add another hoist in the garage next to the jeep hard top to be able to get it on and off.

Probably add an internal frame to the shell someday. If it cracks before that, I’ll fix it.

 

Looks good! I’ve had my for only a week and so far loving it. Can’t even feel the weight of it

 

I had to do that same thing on my SR5 a few years ago. That part not having the cable for the 120V outlet really frustrated me. I kept reading the directions and watching YouTube videos to figure out why it wasn't like the instructions. then I seen all the people in the videos had a TRD and what d they have I don't. Still its a great thing to have

 

Question for you… I’m getting ready to do a light bar in the front OEM bumper…when you were installing yours, could you tell if those plastic slats in front of the light bar can be cut out?

I’m trying to figure out if I can cut them out to keep the lightbar unobstructed or if they are a structural part of the bumper.

 

Like the color matched wheels.

 

Obviously I didn't cut them out, but I did see that people have done that. It's not structural in any sort of safety sense. But I would just mention that it doesn't really affect how much light comes out. I don't think you gain very much doing it and you might risk messing it up. Also, it won't really be a "hidden" light bar anymore, more of a recessed one.

 

Got it, thanks! I haven’t crawled under there yet to look and wasn’t sure if those slats held the bumper together in any sort of way.

 

It's been a work in progress for a few years, but today was bigger tires day. Went from 265/65R17 to 285/70R17. I added

$148 Spidertrax WHS007 Blue Wheel Spacer Kit

Spidertrax WHS007 Blue Wheel Spacer Kit a few weeks back when I added the Bilstein 5100 and OME springs. She definitely needs a bath.

You get the award, given out, after all participation awards are handed out, whatever that is.

Nice truck!
