What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I washed my truck for the first time today, now I need to learn how to wax it. It dried instantly in this 95° Louisiana heat

 

Turned 20k today so I gave her a thorough cleaning. Still love this truck as much as the day I bought it.

 

Big mod day, de-badged, tailgate letters, phone mount. Thanks to Tuff Skins, Hondo Garage.

 

Installed the cargo basket today which is going to free up a ton of lightweight bulky space in the cab and bed.

Got the whole setup for $250 shipped, and a Prinsu would have looked way better but dont need a rack year round.

 

Fun with Ditch Lights!

 

Installed some RCI rock sliders today! Sorry no pictures, it is raining out now but the install went good, 3 hours by myself with a motorcycle jack. Getting the front driver's side mounted was a pain, but otherwise it's very straightforward.

 

Yes it is.

 

This mod took me about a pint of beer to complete. I wanted to replace the license plate cover but couldn't find one with just the red TRD logo on the top. So I found one close enough to the look I wanted for $5 bucks and removed the white lettering.

 

Installed my pro grill!!

Installed the Pelfrybilt Tray, Group 31 battery and @mcmnos4r2 medium hood decal.

 

Nice touch noting the date replaced (and mileage) on your battery. I've always replaced the battery at the 5 year mark and (barring any other electrical problems), never faced a dead battery. YMMV due to regional conditions. Putting it right on the battery often causes a "Holy cow! Five years already?" realization when under the hood for other reasons.

 

No pics because it's kinda boring. I installed a pair of Air Ride airbags for the rear suspension. Was a little bit of a bitch.. one of the bolts to hold the bracket to the frame was too tight in the bracket, because the paint on the bracket was too thick! It had me pulling my hair for a while... wondering if I had the wrong bolts! A little drill action and that problem was resolved. I was hoping the air line came with a T junction so I could join them and have one air valve. I may mod it to do that later on. For now both air valves are now in place of the license plate bolts, like this:

(so I lied, one pic!)

 

Joined the quad 3''s club today

 

Cumming Georgia Beaver. I would have left it haha

 

Picked up the same battery today, waiting on the Pelfrybilt cage. Does the stock tray get removed or just set on it?

 

Lol! Don't forget red taco. It all sounds perverted.

 

Remove it. It’s just a couple J bolts and a peice if plastic under neither that just lifts up and out.
You’ll have to play with the cables a little in the positive side to get the terminal to fit on. I removed the cover to the little box that protects the wiring from getting hit if a belt happens to break and re-ziptied them.

 

I date everything. Even my work boots and light bulbs. Haha. Not exactly sure why but I do.
