What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

This was my second time doing it, i wasn't happy with the first attempt. I used the duplicolor peelable coating and it didn't lay down as nice. My advice is leave thwm on and dip them. I broke a tab putting them back on, it's easier to deal with plastidip overpsray than removing them and putting them back on.

 

This weekend....

Installed

$659 SP9100 Switch Pros SP-9100 8-Switch Panel Power System With Concealed Mounting Hardware

SP9100, hooked up amber BD rock lights to Meso BD5 for amber flashers, reinstalled Meso ECT mod for shifter, installed Car Solutions camera module and Natika camera for front view, installed Galaxy Tab A for Gaia mapping, adjusted the Diamondback HD so it does not leak.

A month ago installed BD SAE fogs...they work great!

Now installing the BD Squadron Pro's with Rago Low Profile brackets.....going to tie them directly to the SP9100 and will be parting with the BD wiring harness as I do not need it.

That's about it!

 

Just in Nevada...they suggest we don't free them from Area 51, as then they might have to pay taxes like the rest of us. The do however have some very cool lift kit suggestions that don't rub.

 

That's it? You been busy Mike!
Your graphics still blow me away. How 'bout a pic of your rig? Hope you've managed to find time to wet a fly.

 

Been busy here! Still working things....my "master plan" is to get all of the things I want/need before attacking the lift and tires. The electrical stuff has me on a quest to simply make it right!

I'll be honest, the truck is great before attacking the major mods so my plan was (still is) to get it setup like I want and then do the cutting/lifting/tires etc....

Hope that makes sense?

Dummy question: Best way to remove TRD Sport graphics?

 

Heat gun, Goo Gone, a lint-free rag, and the kind of energy that only hate can provide.

Been there, done that.

 

Makes me dizzy especially the electrical, electrical not exactly my forte.

 

If you are talking about the "stickers" on the butt end......

I used a heat gun. It is a sticker but it can be a PITA.

Heat up the corner and then use a plastic credit card or a trim removal tool. It will peel right up but it takes time!

Then use an adhesive remover.

TAKE YOUR TIME! Its stuck on so take your time and DONT get aggressive!

You can get it off!

 

Hot sun and mine peeled right off, no residue except a very slight outline that came off with a micro cloth and isopropyl alcohol.

 

Shoot him a pic of those sweet graphics for motivation.

 

Here are some previous pics....


Something you CAN and SHOULD do!

 

Can't look at those often enough, great graphics!

 

I love em!

Have to shout out to @CBoy808 for working with me!

I can't say enough about his work and design skills!

 

Whoa. Nice. Thanks

 

Not hard to remove the graphics from the back.

Just take your time! And .... trust me ... it takes time!

But once you are done and want a custom emblem/graphic....simply contact @CBoy808

 

i absolutely hate badges, but those look pretty sweet

 

i personally like the clear over amber. nice work!

 

I removed mine. Never dealt with plasti dip and didn’t want to paint over the new truck. Once I stopped handling the caps like a small child, came off pretty easy. I never put the metal gator style clip back on. No issues.

7 layers, rubbed my pants on the dam stuff and tore it. So yeah I don’t know if I’ll dip em again or just drop the money on a new rear bumper.
