What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

What is the horn? Any louder?

 

There is one, just PM admin your colour choice

 

Nice Kitty!

 

A little back out action on the badges and tailgate. Window tint next week.hopefully.

 

Don't feel too bad.
About a month ago a friend of mine of 30+ years was killed when his truck rolled on top of him.
He put his truck in park, but it was actually in reverse. Crawled under behind the LF wheel to mess with something under the truck and it rolled over and stopped on top of him.

Today:

Installed back-up LEDS from www.superbrightleds.com ... only concern is that they may shake loose at some point. They don't 'lock in' as well as the OEM bulbs do.

Installed channel stiffeners from www.caliraisedled.com ... nice product!

 

It's a man thing. We work hard for our toys & we just want to preserve them.
Baseball cards, comic books & etc.
Having pride is a good thing.

 

Picked up my new wheels today. Having trouble deciding which tires I want......

 

I just ordered the same wheels literally 2 minutes ago. Pairing them with KO2’s.

$336.60 after the eBay "pickupsale" coupon code. Seller accepts offers so you may be able to get it a bit cheaper...I already ran through my offers earlier in the week.

 

After 6 months, Finally dipped the rear bumper caps!

 

Not all cement is meant for construction (from local news today)

 

New shoes for the taco. Finally some that fit the look

 

Cool, good choice!! I have KO2’s now in 275/70/17 wrapped around method standards. Going with MT’s next, but can’t make up my mind between km3, mtr or general x3. Size is the other dilemma I have. Thinking about going with 295/70/17, but I don’t think I can stuff that in my spare tire location. Probably end up with 285/70/17, then my choice will reduce to km3 or mtr.....they don’t make the x3 in 285’s.

 

I went to install my sill protectors and i feel like an idiot the truck already has them. I guess i'll return those. A good thing I didn't open them. I only saw the running boards on the window sticker so I assumed no sill protectors when i bought skid plate, mud flaps and sill protectors

 

Ko2’s are what I just put on today.

 

Got a new bedcover

 

Hey easthill bob that’s what it all about taking the praises or the boos It did look like shit

 

Question for the group. I just got my 30" KC light bar and am trying to decide whether to mount it on the bumper behind or in front of the lower grill piece on the 3rd gen Sport. It looks like that spot is made perfectly for a behind the grill mount and you don't have to cut any of the grill away if you mount there. But I see a lot of you with it mounted there after cutting away the piece of the grill that would be in front of the light. It looks good that way too and you can definitely show off the light better. What are the pros and cons of each as y'all see it from some of you that have done it? A little input and then I'll decide. Thanks to all in advance. Go NAVY!

 

Today I installed my OME suspension kit with the help of two friends. It consists of the soft ride shocks, 887 coils, and an add a leaf. It took us 8 hours, though it would have taken less if one of the new leaf spring bolt's threads hadn't gotten totally ground off and required us to track down a bolt we could modify to work. I suspect that the nut or bolt was damaged before installation because from the start they would not thread smoothly, however it's possible that I did something to damage them (but I did the exact same thing on the other side and had no such problem). Lengthy, but doable for an amateur. Better picture to come tomorrow.
