What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

First wash and wax of the year!

 

Nice truck, very well done...

 

Your driveway and yard looks like mine
Tucked back in the woods

 

Looking sharp. Gotta get me a set of those taillights soon.

 

Wife asked what I don’t have - for Christmas.

So, now my truck is tinted.

 

i wonder what they look like.....
nice pallet

 

Probably square and chrome.

 

Im going with round. Care to wager?

 

Ill get in on this action with triangle

 

Probly Sema’s w wild peaks. Yay

 

Finished up adding a Alpine speaker, amp, and sub kit from Trail Grid Pro.

 

That doesn't rattle?

 

They are definitely flat, or you couldn’t stack them.

 

How do you like it, and what other sound system upgrades have you made if any??


I am thinking about the same but Alpine Plug & Play 6-Speaker, 4-Channel Amp & Powered Subwoofer Kit... I have not read to much on the Trail Grid Pro bundle sound systems on TW...

 

Changed oil and filter with a few 'moments'. I mean how much fun is working on a vehicle without a little drama.
1. Let engine get too hot. Not because oil burning hands, but because in my experience the composite filter housing becomes too tight in the threads. I was the last one to r&r filter so I knew it was torqued to 18lb ft. Yet it was very hard coming off. I'm going to buy a spare as a backup. Probably get the aluminum job. It went back on much easier after cooling down.
2. I decided to try the 'remove filter housing without draining' method. Big FAIL. Before replacing OR splash guards with Pro skid plate it would not have been a big deal. With the Pro skid plate a lot of oil didn't make it into the oil drain pan and ran down the inside of the skid plate. At least I have a spare drain nipple and o-ring.
3. Of course had to chip fiber gasket off oil pan drain hole before installing drain plug with new gasket.
4. Replaced skid plate filter access plate OEM h/w with same in stainless steel. No drama here.
5. Wrapping things up, cleaning tools etc and realized filter housing tool was still stuck to housing. Remove filter access plate, retrieve tool, reinstall plate.
Last item is a personal thing. I had a few cuts on my hands that are still healing so I swore I was going to wear PPE but as usual never did. Just can't get used to wearing latex/nitrile gloves while working on vehicles. I wear elkskin work gloves when operating my tractor, changing implements etc but can't get used to those rubber gloves.
That's all. HNY!

 

I can’t wait to do this, but it hasn’t stopped raining long enough.

 

I am also very curious about how well this sounds, I have considered the OEM audio + setup but seeing this for around half the price had me reconsidering that route if it sounds and fits well. Do you have OEM or aftermarket head unit?

 

Used her for track duty.



and added an updated accessory (little’s bigger carseat) lol

 

I was thinking the same my last oil change, like, I did not tighten this sucker that hard at all! I may tighten with less torque next time, see how it is coming off the next...

 

WooHoooo. Delivery received.
They do say Germany.
