What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Well when you're overloading i think on the swing-out vertical would be good. Easy access when/if needed without unloading a bunch of stuff.

 

Got MY fob from AJT Designs today. Today was also the day I got my 10k service done and had the 0058-18 flashed. My stealership did it with no questions asked. I think it helped that I had the paperwork AND spoke with the Service Manager about it.

 

Can you post more pictures.. I am interested as well
thank you,

 

Whatever is going to get you to that 7ft height of clearance in cities and drivethrus

Lol I already can't fit with the tent and antennas

Gotta walk through the drive thrus

 

Now you got me worried about a rtt. Crap! Got a quick disconnect on the antenna

 

Not a junkyard within 100 miles of me had a 2nd gen. Had to order one through the stealership for $45.

 

Which size square tubing? & length of the 1/4” grade 8 bolts

Thanks

 

Damn. Mine has stacks of them, mostly in bad accidents with a ton of beer cans in the bed...

 

Installed a brake controller, thanks for the tips from the towing bible!

 

Yes that I can Understand, I spend 5 days a week 10 plus hours a day working designs and modifying them that many times involve high risk to people if not properly researched and applied correctly around industrial equipment you learn to question and inspect everything multiple times, I have seen welds with bubbles in them or just looked more like they were not penetrated right on steel staircases that would be 3 to 4 floors up (small platform at each floor level) that had to be rejected and resulted in entire structure being torn down and built again <---- and oh man that pissed people off but technically this location is earth quake prone zone so the degree of standards are really watched out for. and one thing people miss is when bolting things together is they will say "Oh grade 8 that will be good" that is not always true a grade 8 bolt side shear can be lower than a properly installed grade 6 bolt!

 

good point, I too assume just because it's grade 8 it should be the strongest. but like you said, its the shear strength in this application that's important, not the pull strength.

 

It's one inch square and the bolts are 2 1/2 inches I think. Two inches would work better though. Or just cut off the excess.

 

Smittybilt seat cover, black tailgate insert, Bakflip and rear Weathertech window visors (Amazon sent the wrong fronts). My first few mods.

 

got OME lift finished. Washed it.

 

My wife and I went to CVT Chattanooga and picked up our new Mt Rainier Extended Pioneer to go with the Summit Awning. Hopefully gonna put it to use soon.

 

Finally finished putting vinyl on the wheels and took it to the mall to flex

 

Installed some 4x4 and TRD black emblems in the tailgate. Removed the V6 emblem but I am thinking of painting it black and putting it back on but in the lower right side corner of the tailgate. Will post pictures if I put it back on.

 

Detailed in and out and then used her as a truck.
