What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

How do you like the aftermarket head unit? Does it work as advertised?

 

Got new AT4 Wildpeaks

 

I was just there last week! Is this Goler Canyon and Mengel Pass? I think I lifted the same tire in the same spot because I didn't see how deep the hole on the driver side was until I was already in it. We camped up past the Geologist Cabin overlooking the Striped Butte.

Finally got around to washing mine.

 

​

Love it!

 

Yup! Heard from a few people that that obstacle on Goler canyon normally isn't that big, so that was a fun surprise. Didn't expect that hole to be as deep either. I would have taken out my windows on that small wall if she hadn't have stood on the bumper.

 

Bit the bullet and took Finn into the dealership yesterday, mostly to get the third brake light checked, but also to get the 90K service done, as I have been too damned busy with trying to get our stuff packed and ready to move to Daytona, both my wife's and my own medical things, and losing one of my pups a couple of weeks ago, after a month long problem. I also have to admit that with a lot of my tools packed, and the fact that I've reached the stage of life where I don't get on the ground without a solid plan on how to get back up - it was just easier to do it this way.

All the fluids are fresh, and they will replace my brake light when they get another in (wasn't leaking, yet, but it was cracked).

 

where's the fish?

 

ARB twin was rattling under the front passenger seat. One bolt was missing and the rest were loose. Desertdoesit was nice enough to send some replacement bolts at no charge. Going to loctite them this time.





I was too lazy to vacuum the dog hair.

 

I’ve got a single under there, for the longest time I had been chasing some noise in the passenger door. Then I took a look under there, found my wires could use some zip ties.

 

Bought him a friend

 

Vacuumed everything out inside including the seats, threw out all garbage, wiped down the dash, etc.

Can't stop nature from trying to make my truck Lunar Rock with the pollen but at least the inside is nice and clean.

 

That's funny (but so true - I'm right there with you!) - I'm going to borrow that, if you don't mind!

 

Its like... fine. Carplay looks like crap compared to my wife's 2020 Mazda, but its not like I'm watching TV on it. I was thinking about going aftermarket, but I value the OEM look of this setup far more than having some fancy HD mega screen.

One thing I did not exactly expect is that going from 7 to an 8inch on the radio means my backup camera is different, small adjustment, but its weird having it change suddenly on a truck I've owned for several years.

 

Understood. The OEM stereo could have been so much better for a just a few more $. The camera as well. I have also just added a Carplay/ Android module that fits under the OEM stereo to keep all functions OEM.

I was going to comment on this last night, but decided not to because I needed to get to bed and I thought someone else surly would. Unless the picture of the girl on the bumper was taken without the truck moving as a way to generate likes, this seems like an incredibly bad idea. First, because I don't think that 105 lb of weight on the rear bumper is going to have any effect, and also because I've seen some really unexpected stuff happen while wheeling.

Tell me about it. I've got all the stuff to do a Xfer case/manual trans/rear diff r&r and I'm really not looking forward to it. Removing cat shield, up and down 20 times, gear oil all over the place yada yada yada....

 

After having black pvc clazzios for almost 5 years decided to switch it up and go with brown leather. I was hesitant to go with anything besides black but I’m very happy with the color.
