What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got my bed lights rigged back up. Four KC Hi-Lite Cyclones. These little guys kick ass!

 

Nothing planned today

 

No photos and very bland but a set of Michelin 265/65/17 LTX Defender's on my 2020 TRD Sport. Hoping to get just the average of the two sets I had on my 1994 which was about 137,000.

 

Pa’s safety inspection noted my coopers at 5/32nds a tire.( Lowest point)

Took awhile to find ​

 

Time to start figuring out what your next ones will be...

 

Best combo, but I'm a little bias lol. I wish the back lights were brighter (like a demon eye), but still cooler than having no backlights.

 

Just got back from a vacation with some off roading mixed in.

I got to give the Bilstein 6112/8100 a proper testing doing some high speed off roading and they are phenomenal.

Also finally got to use my Greenlane aluminum sliders as sliders (they have taken hits before but those were just dragging dirt on break overs and hitting a tree in a tight turn), the only line option was to go right over a single large boulder on my passenger side.
They functioned perfectly and held up great, just damaged the powder coating but if I was sliding boulders all the time I would go steel.

 

Those are just beauty marks now.

 

They will be short lived because they are getting rattle canned tomorrow, I have a couple scrapes on the frame too that needs painting.

 

I never really thought about aluminum sliders, but they also won't rust from scrapes. They probably can deform easier, but some lightweight sliders might be what I need, for the very rare boulder on the light 4wd I tend to do.

 

They are 27lbs each vs 65lbs for steel, they are rated to support the entire weight of the truck, and shouldn't ever rust.
I just want to repaint so more of the powder coat doesn't start flaking off.

The main worry is for if you are sliding all the time on them is getting gouges in the softer aluminum.

So for occasional "oh shit" hits they are perfect, just like aluminum skid plates.

 

Badges of honor

 

Did you get the tall version?

 

Thanks to @FamouzStarz i got a diamondback tonneau. Yay.

 

Would you mind showing more of it, like is that an attached shelf or tray below the tonneau cover??

Looks like you are making your 3rd gen yours...

 

That's a bed extender. I came from a 1gen 6' bed and didn't realize the 3g was so much shorter. But it flips inside the tonneau (and flips out with the tailgate down) and makes a really nice cubby for small things in normal driving.

I think he's talking about that tray/cross member under the center section of the DB. I'm curious too as my DB SE doesn't have that.

 

Sorry, I can see the confusion... lol
Cement_wheels is correct, I am talking about the thing I have in blue...
