What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Impressive mileage. Your mechanical skills are keeping this rig rolling!

 

Not today but a couple days ago , I bought one ! pics a little later . This is a little later. Some little mods are planned but nothing to major , tint , some interior stuff , thats about it.

 

Put on a Diode Dynamics Stealth 30 inch light bar. Also changed out all the door speakers for Kicker speakers to match the dash tweeters. My last truck was wired so the Light force lights would come on with the high beams. I need to figure out how to activate the light bar when the high beams come on. I am convinced electrical stuff is just evil black magic!

 

Added a water tank to the truck. Space was sitting unused and fits perfectly.

 

Did you build the tank yourself?

 

Went to go on over 280+ mile trip and heard what I initially thought was a rock in tire but sounded much louder. Pulled over 7 miles in and found this. Returned home and plugged it. Got back on the road an hour later. This is the second time in less than a year I've had to plug my tire!

 

Yep! Made out of SCH40 pvc, painted black. Dont plan on using it for drinking water, mainly for showers or the like. Brackets are from rhino roof rack and are very sturdy. I used some OVS awning brackets to mount the brackets to the roof rack (after some modifications).

 

Bro had to park next to me at Tractor Supply. I might be biased, but my Taco wins.

 

Sandwiched between a couple of furd doodies too.

 

It looks really good compared to most DIY tanks I've seen.
If you are willing I'd love a parts list on what you used so I could build my own.

 

Finally have my front camera properly mounted !

 

Got my bed prepped for the Alu-Cab Contour, which should be here tomorrow! Bed caps sealed with aluminum tape and silicone, and the front rail gaps were filled with butyl tape. Also, after scoring a great deal from Runnin4Tacos, I got the Total Chaos bed stiffeners installed.

 

It is a Tesla? Ugly piece of chit. It belongs on Mars, or some outer space crap.

 

Added a Starlink Mini mount to my Super Pacific and tried it out for the first time.

For comparison sake, this is my phone and I’m in Portland so there shouldn’t be signal strength issues.

 

Just curious, was the equipment expensive? Or do they have some kind of deal where you can get it cheap with a year commitment on service or something? I presume price is similar to a cellular data plan monthly?

 

The Starlink Mini is $600 and the service is month to month, starting at $50/month.

 

Added a 2" lift finally. Bilstein 5100s front and rear. Front set to 2" setting and 2" billet aluminum blocks on the rear. As I scrap regularly I wanted to keep the rake.

Went up to 285/75/16 Toyo Open Country AT IIIs which is apparently only 32.8" but if anyone asks they're 33s lol

Had to add 1.25" spacers on the front to clear the upper control arms when turned fully. Ideally I would replace the uppers instead but this was the quickest fix to get back to work on Monday. So far everything else seems to be riding smooth but we'll see how it does on the highway tomorrow and make adjustments from there.

I also removed the front valence and was planning on trimming it but i think it looks just fine with it removed completely so we'll see.

 

The upload is crap but that's to be expected with that size of an antenna. I'm honestly shocked by how low the latency is!

 

I’m sure it will only get better if I actually spent some time aiming it and there were less tall trees around.

 

Installed my RCI gas tank skid. 3 bolts were easy, last one required some help from the jack.
