What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Put the new ikamper mini on. Just in time for a surprise deployment to last through summer. I guess that's just my luck.

 

Deployment? Thank you for your service!

 

Major mod today. Added red letters to my shift knob. I think this one added an extra 5ft lb or torque

 

Finally grew some massive balls and put my own lift on! King 2.5 ext w/resi front and rear, dirt king ball joint uca’s, icon rxt on option 2, durobumps front and back, and u bolt flip kit. About to soak my hands in CBD oil. I’m skipping a leg day a bit so will upgrade to 285’s next month!

 

Added some more MESO goodness! Although the friggin post office opened up and inspected my shipment from Meso for some reason then sloppily repacked in some black plastic and packing tape, then left a note that that opened it.

Anyway, added the Chrome delete kit for air vents, shifter, console, and start/stop and 4WD selector switches. Just waiting for the red TRD start/stop switch and HVAC selector trims to come available.

PS. Hey @MESO, ever think about rounding out the console and making some better radio knobs for us?

 

Stay safe and thank you for your service!

 

I did the same thing to mine today.

 

Why would you think that?

 

@LandLover here is the a link to the steps I followed. It’s a real PITA but well worth it.

Spot, Rex, Target, Smokey........ ..

 

It was a really nice day out today so I washed my girl today and then installed the new Softopper. It looks great on her.

I intended on keeping my tri-fold for everyday use and then use the Softopper for camping, exploring, and trips that require a little more cargo space than the tri-fold does.

Side shot:

 

Just a wild guess, that's all.

 

Started with reinstalling the dark (er) tails
Oh, takeoffs for sale too, $40 picked up

 

Loaded it with 18 bags of mulch, two bags of manure, and one bag of potting soil. Secondtrip to pick up plants before the nurseries close on Monday.

Before. Scraggly 1970s hedges.


After. Chinese fringe flowers. And something green and yellow i can't spell.


Six pack job.

 

Nice!

 

Added ye olde compressor:



Super happy with it. Dumped 15 PSI out of the front tire, filled it back up in ... gosh it felt like under a minute. Probably two minutes in reality. The wires are a bit of a mess between the compressor and the ditch lights right now, but that's because I don't have a junction or fuse box yet. That'll be my next project. Here's another angle showing where I mounted the switch:



And my 4g rotopax, so I can safely travel to and from the grocery store knowing I won't be stranded:



Not incredibly impressed with Prinsu customer support after today, I emailed them specifically asking about mounting a 4g rotopax way back and they said "Oh no problem, just get our load panels" and ... nope, the load panels can only mount in certain locations on the rack, so if you want to also use them for mounting maxtrax, etc, you cannot use them to mount a 4g. Couple of 2g's, sure. No problem. I had to get creative to get the 4g up there, which is why the middle bar is where it is. Still love the Prinsu, and the load panels are going to make mounting the maxtrax easier, but that's literally all they helped with. Expensive upgrade just to mount two maxtrax conveniently.

 

Tried to get some shots of the sunroof open for those who've asked:



Hope those angles help. You can fully open the sunroof with the bars in almost any configuration. When right over top, the bars clear the sunroof by probably 1/8" maybe a little more.

 

Got the 20 Pro wheels installed this week when the Dealer went in to buy-back my OEM roof rack for fitment issues. Under quarantine, I got the Prinsu and Tailgate lock installed today. Won't be skiing for the rest of the season, but I'll be ready for November!

Bonus, on those 20's with the FWD SharkFin antenna, the Prinsu's 2" back rail can be installed in the normal horizontal position. So that's cool at least.

 

Looking to sell your OEM rack? If so, definitely interested.
