What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed OEM LED Headlights. Found some crazy deals from two different sellers on FB Marketplace that I couldn't pass up. Then got the Harness from @Puppypunter and everything is working flawlessly.

 

Hah. I got my truck in New Mexico, talking to the salesman on the phone he told me it was sssmint.

 

This is the tire size I am considering.

Looks Great!

 

A little bit of both, I suppose.

 

Yes it does. It locks into place at each fold so with it closed and a tailgate lock the bed contents are as secure as they're going to get.

 

Thanks!
I swear my salesman called it sirment.

 

Thanks!
I feel it’s just the right size to balance my daily commute and weekend fun.

 

Here's a debate question...which one is preferred as a daily commuter?

Price difference?

I do like the Silver SEMA wheels...

 

Getting closer to finishing a high clearance swing out bumper..

 

Got the wires run from the alternator to the bed, now I gotta mount and wire up the power controllers to charge off the solar and alternator.

 

The wheels or the tires? Either wheel will do. I prefer the Matte black SEMA. Those tires look to be E-rated. I don't recommend E-rated tires for daily commuting. Stick to SL in whatever tire size you choose.

 

For the tires, I've only had the RT Trails a couple days, but love the look! They are quite on the road, only slightly louder than the Toyo AT3 I replaced. Time will tell how long they last and how well they do off-road.
As for the wheels, I really like the all black wheels, tires, and trim on my cement color Taco. I feel the silver on gray would have been too much for my taste. But I do with the matte black was easier to keep clean...

 

The wheels/tires on the left are on my truck and are SL. I didn't want the weight of the E for my commuting.

 

All cleaned up.

Adam’s Ceramic Detail Spray is great! First time trying it out.

 

Apologies for not clarifying...I meant the tires for Daily Driving...which one is better for daily.

The wheels, on the other hand...I think the Silver would contrast better with my Midnight Black Sport.

Okay, so "E-Rated" are not recommended for daily driving....got it!

 

Yeah, for your color truck, the Black is perfect.

For me...too much black is kind of a turn-off...the silver would contrast it better, IMHO.

As for the tire, I don't want noisy/knobby tire sounds as I'm driving.

So, which aggressive looking tire has a quieter tone?

 

Wow, that wound up looking super clean!

 

I do like the black tires. A very classic/traditional look for tires.

 

Mounted the shovel with some Simpson Ts. I’ll see how these mounts work.

 

Installed a Pop and Lock tailgate lock.
Took 30 minutes to run the wire, I had it follow the existing wires on top of the frame and going over the gas tank, and then less than 5 minutes to install the actuator and wire connections.

Finally no more worrying about some one stealing my tailgate, especially since I have an out of production Mobtown tailgate reinforcement panel on there.

And since I had it apart I swapped out the button head bolts with washers (picture 1) on the tailgate panel for some low profile bolts (picture 2), so hopefully stuff will stop snagging on them. Only took me 5 years to decide to do that.
