What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Finally got a light bar tossed on the martin offroad roof rack. The baja Onyx6 light bar is bright as $&@!.

 

If the gates are open, I’m a goin’.
Got her out today before some major work gets done. Incredible what these things are capable of right off the assembly line but excited to see what it can do with some extra love.

 

Ohhhh that’s a big day

 

What uca's are you going with?

 

Absolutely LOVE that plate!
It is the right sense of humor.
It is the right state.
Is is the right support.

And on a super clean truck. I'll keep an eye out for that one on the road.
That backup light next to it is the chef's kiss of perfection! Did you just splice it in or did you run a relay?

 

I was thinking Accutune but there are so many on the market and I have not really looked at any yet. I don't have any plans to throw these on until probably late spring or early summer so plenty of time to decide.

 

Ditch lights. (I like 'em cuz you can reach out the window and aim it if you want.)


(Oops, not who you asked. Answered cuz I have them too.)

 

So that seemed to fix that issue, now I've got another rotational grind/clunk sound at slow speeds around 9mph. Braking, accelerating, turning, straight. Most noticed during 3pt turns. Feel it in the floorboard/pedals and a little in the steering wheel, and that helps you hear it. You can barely hear it from the passenger seat, but it is audible.

This may have been happening before ECGS bearing, but didn't notice it over that noise. Drives without noise faster on main roads and completely fine on freeway.

Anyone have any ideas what that could be? Crawled under, pushed the driveshafts, seem not to budge. The CVs into the front diff have a little bit of play, could it be that?

It's different than the noise from the new coils, when parked/driving you can hear them squeak, but they've got 300 miles, so I assume that will settle out. The noise I'm referring to doesn't happen while stopped and rocking the truck.

Another note, during the OME MT64 install, I installed a driveline spacer to lower and help the angle.

Going to put it on the lift Sunday, any suggestions on things to check/tighten would be appreciated!

 

If CVs don't have play, you have a problem. The intermediate axle is supposed to move freely.

 

Thank you homes. It's wired via relay using an Overland Equipped auxiliary fuse panel and a factory style switch. I use it as a chase/dust light when playing in the dirt, but it comes in handy when there is a dude behind me running a light bar on the street.

 

RokBlokz are what a functional mud flap looks like. IYKYK

 

DIY ditch light using a Rigid ignite light.

 

Not a common mod! In fact, I’d say pretty rare. I think Meso started it? I could be wrong.

 

Thanks for the photos and the info!

Very nicely done. I like that much better than the fender-mounted ditch lights.

Joke? Sorry, just looks stupid. Maybe you were trying to convey that?

 

AJT cupholders installed

 

one of my favorite mods. Use it everyday, super helpful lol

 

Do you have a link to a video on how to replace the hinge? What hinge parts were needed? I feel like I've searched the whole internet and can't find anything about how to replace the hinge.
