What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I’ve always hit the badge with a heat gun, or hair dryer, then fishing line. Get it as flat to the car as you can and most of the glue will come off with the badge. Then goo gone. I’ve always used goo gone and never had an issue but I did see a thread on here awhile back where the goo gone left weird stains on the paint. It came off with some wax, I think the user used way too much goo gone. Good luck!

 

Finished making this rod holder, had made one previously that mounted longways on the bed. Wasn't braced like this one and the rods would turn the PVC at highway speeds. Led me to think of a better design and came up with this. Took me about 3 hrs total time measuring everything, cutting and putting together. Very sturdy and locked in place by the bed rail clips in case I overload it by any chance!

It is dark I know, not the best pictures.

 

Thanks! I jumped into it before I saw your post. Fishing line worked great, but left a good portion of the adhesive behind. I was able to remove the left over adhesive V6 on the tailgate using the firm end of a plastic bread clip and cleaned it up with some WD-40. I'll give the doors a shot using a plastic razor and goo gone if the WD-40 stops working.

 

Carista. Is it worth it? Did you get the year membership? Other than the blinker what else can you change? Any chance of you posting a picture of the options list?

 

I was debating this when i installed my meso turn signals the other day... i already have vinyl laying around so maybe ill just try it to see if i like it .. that close up shot looks sexy

Looks good! Matte black FTW

 

I did mine matte black over a year ago. Was going to paint them MGM but I like them black. Your wrap looks good.

First service today.

 

20% tint and I upgraded the tweeters with the Suburu Kickers! Can't believe the difference in the sound quality!

 

did you have to disconnect the battery?

 

I exchanged my Side Exit for the Dump on my Exhaust System



I also decided to start adding my Ensolite Sound Deadening to the Doors. I didn’t want to install everything until I had my audio installed and now that I do, I can finish this project.

 

It's the North Mountain. Here's the link...

I replaced all 6 speakers a long time ago and did not disconnect my battery. I have installed speakers in most of my vehicles for the past 40+ years and never disconnected the battery. Only disconnect for head units or amps.
If you use the correct wire adapters there is no cutting and no splicing of any wires. Simply unplug the old speakers, install and plug in the new speakers. Zero risk. Quick and simple. Maybe 1 hour for all 4 doors start to finish. 10 minutes per side for the dash tweeters.

 

Very nice I like it

 

Thank you for your service as well Bud!
