What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

The air dam is for aerodynamics and has zero affect on handling or cooling. As to loss of MPG, if you do A LOT of highway driving there might be a little drop off. Maybe 1/2 mpg. You'll notice if you study the specs, a equally equipped OR (no air dam) vs a Sport (with air dam) list the same EPA mileage quotes.

I'll add, if you do remove the air dam, the truck will "cry" for a better skid plate.

 

That turned out nice !

 

Has held up great after 2 years.

 

Did you try adjusting the level by turning the odometer reset knob/stalk?

 

Good information
Good to know
Makes my decision much easier
Thank you

 

I’ve had mine this way for over a year! Posts made me think again.

is this the first of April?!

 

Are you going to market the sail panels you have 3D printed?

 

I like it

 

And cold too......burrrrr

 

That looks sweet.

 

Dang it!! Now I see another mod to do LOL

 

What kind of prep did you do? Any particular primer and paint?

 

Don’t be offended. Everyone like to be an ass clown in here.
Welcome to the TW herd!
Nice truck.

 

I simply wiped it down with soapy water and then a few alcohol wipes and masked the "v" with tape and paper. Then I sprayed around 6 coats of plastidip until it was uniform. Cost less than $8. Think the TRD sticker was an extra $4 off ebay. Really surprised how well it has held up. When I did it there was heavy snow and 15° outside and I was in a partially insulated garage. Already had the @rrentrop blue decals on the letters. Super cheap mod.

 

Thanks!

 

I pulled mine for the bar on the front, and noticed absolutely.....no changes. Rip it off!

 

Just ordered 2 cans of white Plastidip to do mine.

 

The Extang Encore tonneau I ordered on Black Friday came in just before Christmas, installed:



The Extang front panel lock doesn't take the milled tailgate keys on 2017+ trucks with push-button start, so I special-ordered P/N 62836 instead of the more commonly available P/N 62835, hence the longer lead time. Extra metal key on my key chain:

 

I love mine. Damned shame about the key. Worked great for my SR5 key.

 

Ooooooohhh...I need one of these.

I have no idea why, but I need one of these.
