What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I've seen this done here a few times, but I'm happy with it. Pretty easy. One hole drilled, M6x35mm bolt, one spacer, and two washers. Very secure and helps me not put too much pressure on the seat as I'm getting in and out.

It seems to have the relays built in. You can do ditch lights, bed lights, light bar and backup lights as long as they're below the amp rating, 60A total. The unit is not waterproof, so you might want to install it in a WP box like

$20 Bud Industries CU-3285 Plastic Style A Utility Box 8.25" L x 5.15" W x 3.12" H, Black

this. Remote is rated for 100', but may lose distance if installed in said box...

 

What did you use to cut off the hook? I like to use the rope loop with a D-ring shackle to create a closed winching system as explained here. The flatlink is super nice though...

 

I cut that badboy off with an angle grinder. Kinda a pain in the ass but it works. Lots of sparks though so if you have a synthetic line like me be sure to cover it so it doesn't get damaged.

 

Looks great. What headlights are those?

 

Ya, I nicked my synthetic line last time I tried that. I'm thinking of using my brother's portable band saw...

 

So...this is the first vehicle that I can remember owning in this century that didn’t come with a hanger for the fuel cap. That being said, this was a must have for me. Kudos to Meso Customs. I wasn’t expecting this until Monday but it came today and I just ordered it on Thursday. I definitely have a few more purchases coming their way.

 

Dude a bandsaw would be ideal, I bet it would slice right through that sucker.

 

I agree!

Have you thought about painting out your aluminum fairlead? I'm kicking myself for not installing one of

$88 Factor 55 00016 Hawse Fairlead 1.0", Gunmetal

these.

 

Don't think any kind of paint would last very long so eventually I'll probably get one of the fancy ones you linked or something similar. Not real keen on the silver one that came with the winch but it'll do for now. Most of my extra cash is going into recovery gear now. Stuff is expensive dude.

 

I posted some ideas over here.

 

Project intermittent wipers and fog lights is officially completed. Now on to my next mod.

 

Check this one out! My coffee filter gasshole MOD. Hehehehe. Now just need to figure out how to make my own interior chrome delete.

 

lol @MESO

 

Wheels look dope, will you post another side view?

 

Catch can installed... FINALLY! (Need to tidy up the bracket, and get a proper clamps on the hoses, but it's workable)



Is it necessary? Possibly not. Will it help anything? Maybe.... Will it hurt? Definitely not.

 

Pardon my ignorance but what does it mean when something looks dope ?

 

It means it looks awesome, or cool.

 

Got my total chaos bed stiffeners installed.

Also did the first oil change since I bought if used from the dealer. Did some derelict shit with the oil filter and got oil all over, but we live and we learn.

 

Look great. What size did you cut the crossbars down to?
