What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Added some tube steps…

Not finished yet since despite my best efforts to get the LAST bolt in straight, I ended up cross threading the last hole. Tried to get it in straight afterward and slowly work the bolt in to correct it but it got tough to keep it going so I backed off. Only made it about halfway in before stopping, so I’m gonna research a bit on how to best remedy.

Figure it should be easy enough to tap/rethread if necessary, but I’d rather confirm with those more knowledgeable before doing more damage.

ETA: Tapped the bolt hole, ran the bolt through the die to clean it up a bit, and boom- she threaded right in. I’ve stripped a few bolts over the years but never needed to tap so I had to buy a die/tap set this morning- pretty pumped it went as smoothly as it did. It’s almost as if the tools were designed to do the job...

 

yes but many pass away too early from stress about not changing their "SYNTHETIC" oil at 3000 miles

 

Used it to pick up the new washing machine and then drove it to Barrett Jackson Snobsdale. Porsche's, Moostangs and hot rods!

 

If Shelby would remove that ridiculous carbon rear wing, goofy stickers and emblems they'd have a really nice product. Basically a supercharged mustang with brembos, borla catback, lowered suspension and nice wheels.

 

Your nurse forgot to give you the medication for about 3 weeks ... obviously.

 

New Steel Bumper from Cbi

 

I love this setup - but I see you have your rear cargo boxes set so they open from the inside - wouldn't they be easier to access if they opened from the outside (eg. latches facing the outside of the truck)?

 

What wheels you runnin?

 

Just don’t drive over nails and other sharp objects, you’ll be alright.

 

Fcs f5 -10offet. Want to buy them? lol thinking about switching it up

 

Or change your synthetic oil every 3K.

 

Sounds like a lesbean product.

 

...I like to drive in reverse sometimes to regen my oil and soak the filter in petroleum jelly over night for added lubrication

 

Finally got the Morimoto XB EVO headlights installed, Figured while I was at it might as well get the Baja Design ditch lights bolted on and wired too.

 

hell yeah, that looks solid. What kind of controller or switch are you using for the ditch lights?

Also I gotta ask, do you notice any wind noise from the traction boards being where they are? And on a different topic, are you happy with the rain guards / window deflectors? I've been on the fence about getting these.

 

Quick wash and wax. Ready for the snow again.

 

Scrub-a-dub-dub! Got all the salt off from the messy weather we had.

 

Put on the prinsu rack and caliraised light bar in absolute cold. Starting to think Calirasied might not have been the move? The plug from the wire out of the bar won't reach into engine bay to the wiring harness and the bolts provided (for the prinsu rack) were too long to tighten in the slots. Luckily, I had some spare prinsu bolts. I guess next I'm going to have to cut and extend the wire? Anyone run into this problem from caliraised?

 

New headlights. Huge thanks to @Puppypunter for the wiring harness.

 

Not sure you can do that on the 4 cyl? Is this true?
