What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Impressive!! Nice work to say the least!!

 

Installed the Dashtop Multi Mount, RC seat covers, and Plasti Dipped the chrome V6 badge:

 

Have a door striker on drivers side of my access cab replaced, old one was so rusty.
Interesting, one on passenger side has no rust at all.

 

I changed the plugs at 180k (ish). I changed these last time… and I don’t remember running into this, but the passenger side nearest the firewall didn’t want to come out. All others super easy.

I got a light and could see a washer/something around the plug, so I used a rubber mallet to hammer the spark plug socket onto the spark plug (otherwise it wouldn’t grab, just spin not go deep enough… so to speak).

i didn’t add this shrink wrap/tape…. Any idea why it’s there? Maybe I skipped this one last time since it was so difficult, not sure and too many Busch lights to recall. Regardless, has a new plug in it now. Pic is weird one with tape/heat shrink on left, other old plug middle, new plug right.

Thanks!
Matt

 

Installed an “always on” ECT wiring harness. Simple 2 minute job and no splicing into any wires.

 

Are you at stock height?

 

Looks like a coil seal to me. Look at your coil.

 

Tell me more?

 

@scouterjan can confirm, but I think those are 265/75R16. The size you mentioned (255/75/16) would be very unusual.

 

bought this from eBay

Love the Lone Peak! Installed 3 of them last month. Amazing campers! Awesome to see one out wheeling. The mounting brackets are a work of art.

 

Oil change and tire rotation.

 

I swear.....
You miss 24 hours on this thread and come back to a Michael Creighton novel worth of mods and maintenance to read. Good Job All!

 

If you're still looking they should be standard M6 aka pretty much any 10mm you can find.

IMO black mirror caps and door handles are an upgrade if they were chrome, but a downgrade if they were paint matched. Rest of the black works though.

 

Is eBay the only place to get these?? $33.99 not a bad price but $45.00 shipping.... I'm trying to stay away from China stuff...

 

Dual Battery install and Big 3 cable upgrade

 

They were previously paint-matched, I'm trying to emulate the 4th Gen TRD Pro style with the two tone black and white scheme. I think the black will tie in better when I get the roof wrapped.

 

Dual battery is on my short list. Nice job!

Quick question…is that a shelf system built into a shell or an add-on compartment on a bed rack? Can’t quite tell from the photo

 

What's the purpose of a dual battery setup, in your situation? Serious question.
