What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

lol. I’m pretty efficient at it.

 

I’m in Wyoming, as you may have guessed, and I’ve had them in everything.
They do ok in snow, not as good as a dedicated snow tire, but better than stock. If I was commuting in snow, I’d probably opt for a dedicated snow tire.
Good off road traction, the one time I’ve gotten stuck in a mud “puddle” so far, 4wd pulled me right out.
They’re as quiet or better than stock on road, and ride is smooth. Tread wear doesn’t seem to be an issue at this point, I’ve about 5k miles on them, and they still look almost new.

 

@ babelfishinmyear

Interested in finding out what set of "Raptor" LED's that you are using in that grille.

 

I wish I had gotten these instead of the redline ones, it sucked having to drill into the truck to install them.

 

What company makes hood shocks without drilling or riveting? Thanks

 

I'm also interested in these

The one thing that concerns me is with the hood having more leverage against the Skokietech (due to its low connecting point), it may begin to loose support faster than the Redlines due to cold temperature fading or loss of pressure in the strut. But for the almost two for one price difference maybe it doesn't matter?

 

If they loose pressure, you just buy some new ones. You can get just the struts for pretty cheap.

Yup. They do open the hood higher than the prop bar. Considerably so.

 

I'm buying most stuff off of ebay these days. Amazon is taking too long to ship.

 

I loved ebay until it turned into a cesspool of companies selling the new items. I went on there because it was a garage sale of used stuff, great deals, decent stuff.... like a giant pawn shop, but didnt have that "pawn shop smell".

I have started going back because they often sell things you cant get on Amazon, but sometimes its just people who are drop shipping from amazon and charging a $5 markup (goes both ways though, I have gotten things from amazon that were drop shipped from ebay).

 

Yeah, I've noticed that. But week 4 of working from home, I have time to wait

 

Me too.
