What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I managed to find one that claimed to be designed for a 3rd gen but all the bends were 90 degrees so it angled the antenna way forward. Ended up shimming one side and mounting 1 hole forward but I was about to start hammering to rebend it.

 

They can probably already see you well enough to tell what ply TP your wiping with from the space station. Your blinkers are probably giving them a glare

 

I liked that it was a very easy reversible modification. I wanted to do the catch can but for the price this was a no brainer for me. All I have to do in case I want to revert it is to undo two hose clamps and put the hose back on, 10 mins tops.

 

InB4 I get made fun of, I think it turned out cool

All jokes and beef with holiday decorations aside, she got a much needed wash (finally stopped raining here) and I've been messing around practicing welding some round tube, got some things on order and things in the works for the front end. It might be a bit before said item shows up, gotta love those lead times lol. Other than that, just enjoying it recently. Couple things got ordered for BF, so I'm excited for when those show up!

 

Freshies are in! After 2 years the fabric on the old set started to pill. It could have been from the dog I dunno? Anyway for $200 it's easier to replace them than wash and wrestle the old set back in.

 

Installed the 4x Innovations hidden hitch mount today. Went reasonably smooth.

 

Changed out my Front Diff Fluid and greased the front Zerks. I didnt see any glittery pieces on the drain plug, just sludge and a greenish tint to the used oil.

 

Ordered GB40. Amazon BF.

@MGMDesertTaco let his go uncharged for a year and it was almost dead. I charge once a month and it takes about 15 minutes to top it off.

 

Certainly a testament to the GB40's battery longevity.

@RichochetRabbit

Have you tried these? I think the Milk and Cookies is the best. The seats look better without the covers too.

 

Any worries about charger being left in hot AF vehicle?

 

Cannot say I have ... ice cream is not common in my house. But I will keep that in mind for my next "RomCom/self-pity" night.

 

I left mine in my AZ truck for more than a year and it still charges the same time every plug-in. But I keep mine behind a seat so "direct heating" is not a factor, just "ambient heat".

 

you need some tools

 

Store it in a lipo charging bag if you're worried about.

Nice. Been eyeing it to only put on as is needed instead of running full time. Might go ahead and do the catch can full time as well.

 

maybe someone on TW will invent some turn signal blockers - if we could be so lucky

 

what about e cars?
