What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

good lord. How many years out can you renew your registration in Oregon? I lived in SE Portland in the 90’s. It was only two years then

 

That sucks. Sorry. I’m know I’m stating the obvious here but the important thing is no one was hurt. Tacos can be replaced

 

It's still 2. Most new vehicles get 4 to start.

 

Put the water cans and gas cans on my roof rack.

 

According to the company, the front skid plate is only 14 lbs! I think you’ve made me buy it!

 

I’ve had a total of 4 different styles: stock, Meso, usr (Switchbacks) and now r4t (sequentials)

Meso’s are by far the best quality as a aftermarket part- more of a oe replacement (closest to oem). Usr and r4t are more like what youd see in aftermarket parts (not oem).

I like the light to be evenly diffused but with that being said you technically lose brightness (Meso explained it better somewhere-difference between optic and gel… or something like that). Usr and r4t use that gel diffuser. I feel usr was brighter in the day than r4t is but r4t lens is more blacked out than usr which is more of a smoked lens (which also explains why r4t isn’t as bright in the day… but it’s still brighter than stock).

the sequentials look good and fluid/smooth.

 

got a few more mods done:

• meso gasshole
• TRD OR stickers to replace the WeatherTech ones
• console organizer
• meso coin holder
• glovebox organizer
• predator side steps

more to come... it's amazing how the $$ keep disappearing

 

Dang, it even nailed the cab. I wonder if that will get replaced.

 

Do those push on and push off like the originals?

 

yes

 

Had my SCS BR6s, a leveling kit (Readylift top plate and Icon progressive leaf pack), SPC UCAs, and some Ridge Grapplers in 285/70/17 put on today. I'm super impressed with the ride. Very minor change from factory. No CMC and minor trimming. I'll see what it does offroad when the snow melts...

 

Installed Mobtown sliders tonight. Forgot to take pictures while I still had it in the garage. Drivers side was smooth and had a small hang up on the passenger side with the frame box holes lining up. They feel solid.

 

Yeah, I’ve put 203,000 miles on my 2013 4*4 ram 1500 work truck, only a radiator replaced. Best stock cornering truck out there. I like my manual tranny on the taco though

 

Washed, waxed and mini-detailed her. Got an alignment, then brought this little pig to Walmart

 

Add a tennis ball. That way you can tell someone that might ask that you use it for your dog (they don't know if you own one)

 

Did an overnighter at the beach this weekend to try out the (new to us) iKamper. Pup had a blast.

 

Came up with a nice little Mountain bike rack for on top of my tonneau cover.
I beefed up all the joints with steel brackets and added extra mounting points to the bed rails.

 

Please do! Encourage by good results on my grill, I've thought about trying the same thing.
In my mind it looks good . . . But I've not actually seen one done.

 

I ended up using some leftover "Z" brackets from an Aleko Gate Kit (similar to

RICH SOLAR Solar Panel Mounting Z Bracket Mount Supporting for RV, Roof, Boat, Set of 4 Units (Z Brackets B)

solar panel brackets) to mount the 10" Rigid Midnight below the Grille (purchased from TJ @Truck Brigade). This spot can only take a 10" bar if you have the SSO Slimline bumper with the

SmittyBilt X2O-10K WATERPROOF SYN - SB98510

X-20 Smittybilt winch because the control box and clutch lever are in the way. I was able to utilize existing holes (red circles) in the cross brace by popping out the plastic bumper clips, overlaying the gate brackets onto the cross member, and installing thru bolts to hold the brackets in place. Please let me know if you have any questions. Cheers! P.S. I'll try to get some light output pictures soon!

 

Because meso mod?
The brake light also has an integrated NMO antenna mount so I didn’t have to put a separate hole in the roof.
