What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

My Wrangler (Heretic, I know) has a nice "Serenity" sticker just above the rear wheel. Flat black, very subtle. I'll probably do something similar when I (eventually) get back into a Taco.

 

Put my extras on over the the last couple days .
Ranch ECHO Cap -roof liner and swing down front window , sliding side windows with screens.
Bug deflector II - fit perfect .
Weathertech laser fit mats - in grey as I think they always look cleaner than black ones when dirty .
side body moldings - I detest door dings .
Sumosprings , To stop the squat when needed .
I built my idea of the perfect old mans truck !
1014 miles and very happy with her .

 

I washed it this morning.... In MUD

All the rain equaled the perfect time to go play in the truck this morning. Good thing about white is, its hard to see the mud on it from a few feet away!!





The closer you get the more obvious it is of course...






I went through a couple deep puddles... Almost got stuck once, which would of been bad since everyone i know to come pull me out is working... But i managed to get through it, just barely.

2wd, no locker, trac off, ect engaged, , haul ass and just pretend its a 4wd!!

 

Hard to tell it's not 4wd..
You can at least invest in extraction gear, portable winch, hi lift jact etc..
Tow hook if you don't already have one..
Fun stuff...

 

Nice to know mine can actually cope with some offroading! (2wd Limited)

Went through some rather deep puddles left from the flooding from the tropical storm this morning, lots of fun was had as I giggled at the water splashing everywhere. #FirstRealTruck

 

Suggestions on a portable winch??

Been thinking about getting the

$130 Maxsa 20333 Heavy-Duty Escaper Buddy Traction Mats for Off-Road Mud, Sand, & Snow Vehicle Extraction and Recovery, Bendable, Unbreakable, Orange, 2 Pack

Maxsa 20333 extraction "mats"... Cheaper than the maxtrax but still have good reviews from what i have seen.

Havent added a tow hook yet either... Im slacking LOL

Normally grab a shovel before taking off to get dirty and always have a big knife in the truck... That combo has saved me a few times but id rather be MORE prepared as i go into mud and soft sand quite frequently.

 

Sorry if this has been asked before, but what bumper is this? Thanks

 

Put on the low profile vent visors

The crazy lab and I are going to tackle the Cali Raised 31.5 stealth mount tomorrow.

 

Oh wow, they are low profile. Any differences in wind noise?

 

The blue hasn't left the garage yet. Ill pm you if there is any. A couple other folks put them on. They claim them to be quiet.

 

Gave her the ol' was n' wax for the summer.

 

Put those in the other day, they look great. Still on my 72 hour period were I cannot roll down the windows after application but cannot notice any noise difference.

 

Can you post a picture when you have your basket on?

 

I have these on my truck as well and I haven't noticed any difference in wind noise.

 

Ya might want to edit out "giggle"for chuckled. Pretty sure men don't giggle, we might chuckle though.
Not saying just sayin..

 

I'm not ashamed!

 

My caliraised bar is sitting in my living room along with all be hardware and my stock Toyota looking light bar switch. Just waiting on the ditch lights and mount so I can wire at the same time.

Let me know how yours goes. From what I'm reading, the pain point is the firewall grommet.

 

Yeah, You would do well with a hand winch, I have and used a Power Puller for the past 30 years with good results. You just have to know your and its limitations.
Read about it at offroaders.com
I call mine the sweat maker, cause it makes you work at getting unstuck and teaches you new word phrases.
Thus making you a better offroader in the process.
All kidding aside this and a hi lift jack will help you out almost most of the time.
I,ve also used those old military metal mats. See them tested at fourwheeler.com
Hope that helps...

 

Embrace the giggle!
