What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I’ve got a set of the supers in there already, was gonna add the sharps in at some point. They’ve been sitting on the shelf forever.

I’m in the same boat. I don’t have a problem with the sharptones at all, but I plan to eventually get a set of supertones and then wire in both sets of Hellas and the oems. 3 is better than one!

 

I don't use cruise control often. I haven't had any interference problems.

 

Anyone ever run these wheels on a 3rd gen? Would love to see pictures..

 

For those that do not already know, "Just open the cap" is to open the cap on the master cylinder reservoir, and squeeze the calipers pistons back into the caliper (making room for the thickness of the new pads), while watching to be sure you do not overflow the reservoir (brake fluid will remove paint).

No need to bleed, because you never opened the system, or introduced air. To be crystal clear, you do NOT OPEN the bleeders.

 

Turkey baster works great for sucking out excess brake fluid.

 

Just getting ready for a bit of low key off road fun. I'm heading to the Clear Creek Management area Thursday (got my permits on line) last time I was there was 20 yrs ago on my KTM after a massive rain.

The following week I drive back to Denver in the Taco to attend a wedding and I'm going to spend a few days in Moab on the way back.

To that end I cobbled together some stuff from my garage to go along with my limited off road gear shown in the photo. The things in the bed not really visible (compressor, FasterFlate system, patch kit, bottle jack, blocks, snap strap, tow strap and soft & hard shackles plus two shackle receiver mounts). I don't have a winch but if another vehicle there at least has a tow hitch we could succeed at a recovery. I won't be camping, the bed will be almost empty so I needed to secure everything down.

20yrs ago, stuck in the mud at Clear Creek. What did all my riding buddies do? They grabbed their cameras and snapped pics and of course posted them on the Adventure Rider Forum I was Admin and Mod on. I'm hoping this trip goes better.

20+ yrs ago; hard to tell from the photo but back then I was a much better off road motorcyclist than I am a 4x4 off road person now.






Today

 

When one employs someone to do something, one should not bitch about the cost of choosing not to do it one’s self.

 

I am mostly on I65 north of Nashville... I had to go through Nashville to the other side last week for something and absolutely hated the traffic, soooo glad I don't have to go there much anymore... I'm ready to move to east TN or at least further away from people... Heck, if it wasn't for needing to be close to a Hospital for the wifey's and my heath issues, I'd move out to BFE somewhere...

 

Dirt and grime hold moisture, and that causes your truck to age faster than it should. And you and others think that is a good thing?

 

Care to quantify “age faster”? Sort of a nebulous term

 

Funny, this truck is the only vehicle I have ever really cared about keeping clean, and I have owned a lot over the years... I never trashed them out or anything, just never washed them, that is what the rain is for right??...

After I did the cutting up of the 65' tree thing, I had to have it washed and vacuumed out with in a few days...

 

Replaced the right rear (passenger side) fender flare today. The old one has deep scrapes on it. Not worth the time and effort to repair/repaint. Got the replacement from JAMS auto parts. Came pre-painted Magnetic Grey with clear body protector films on the front and rear, 3M adhesive tape along the edge of the flare, and all the trim pieces like the blue and orange clips. Removal of the old and installation of the new was a breeze.

 

Wired up my bumper light bar to a factory style switch with illuminated Bigfoot. Was surprisingly easy!

 

Does the newer radio have a higher resolution screen?

 

Daughter took her Mustang to GreaseMonkey for an oil change and asked if they could change the In-Cabin Air Filter. They said yes.
Then when she got home she looked at the receipt and they replace the one under the hood - For $85.

 

how well do those husky liners hold up? do the sides stay straight or will they start sagging?

 

Not sure about the husky liners (although I’ve heard they are good), my weather techs have held up great the past 9 years.
