What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I used the supplied ARB U-bolts. They're a little bigger in width than the standard OEM U-bolts, so it took a bit of "engineering" to get them fitted correctly.

nice. But I like the creeper in the backseat.. just peekin out.

 

I haven't used it for a damn thing yet but I love the look.

I think the Z-Series is pretty on point in terms of design and the price is better than the SnugTop and Leer models of the same caliber.

Neither of those two can touch the hinges on the ARE either.

Big camping trip in two weeks though, we'll put that thing to the test.

 

Details on this? Did you remove the entune?

 

Damn you're right.... There is a truck in that picture.

 

How long did the installation take? Any tips/suggestions?

 

Good looking camper shell. Nice job on the bumper too.

 

There is a plug- it's easy to find. I installed my controller in 5 minutes by putting it in the change cubby and drilling a small hole at the back to accommodate the harness. The plug is right behind the main wire harness behind the kick plate.

 

It took about 2 hours. Don't do it alone. You definetly need a helper and a floor jack. The sliders are about 50 lbs each and about 6 feet long. Maneuvering them into place alone would have been nearly impossible. Print out the instruction sheets in color, it's hard to see the pictures in black and white.

 

They show up even worse on black... Every time i wash mine i find 30 more scratches... I'm scared to wash it anymore LOL

 

That's cool! What are you using for air?

 

Took my truck to @jeffz0rz owner/operator of JTA Metalworks a and had a couple things built! Jeff did a front prerunner style bumper with my winch and a hybrid rear that will get a swing out one day but it's bullet proof! I shot him some designs and let him do the rest, came out great. He added his JTA Metalworks logos into the corners and frenched in light pockets! All made in El Cajon Ca! The truck is on 5100's and 265's for now. I've got Shmellfab's sliders going on this week and some RCI armor too!

 

Noticed yesterday some brake pulsation when applying the brakes at highway speed.

Saturday got my recall for the CPS replacement.

 

@jeffz0rz great job on @Kicker73 bunpers, you've got welding talents!
Good to know you're in El Cajon and wondered if you have Rock Sliders for a 2017 SR5 DCSB?

 

Removed front and rear weathertech mud flaps...

Noticed both rear flaps were loose... Then seen 2 of the screws were missing from the passenger side rear... The front flaps were still tight but i figured screw em!

I off road a few times every week... Only a matter of time before i broke them off anyway.

 

Eventually I will purchase the ARB High Output Twin Air Compressor w/ a Slee Off Road 2nd Gen Compressor Mounting Kit. I'll either get a 2 Gallon Black 6 Port Air Tank or a 5 Gallon Black 6 Port Air Tank.

 

I make weld on sliders for any make/model. my bolt on sliders need some more r&d. @jta_metalworks on instagram for pics of my work. I'm sure there's some sliders on there.

 

Removed my factory TRD decals and replaced them with these custom decals from Rock Life Off Road
