What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Hey... just a note on those rubber mats. I have no proof that they cause issues, but take a look at 2 of my posts regarding the mat that goes over the wireless charger - if you have one

Did you squish the camera?

 

Could you try something in-between? I just picked up this hand held for my boat.

$63 BAOFENG BF-F8HP (UV-5R 3rd Gen) 8-Watt Dual Band Two-Way Radio (136-174MHz VHF & 400-520MHz UHF) Includes Full Kit with Large Battery

BAOFENG BF-F8HP 3rd gen. 8 watt dual band from Amazon for $88. And this thing is small!

 

Got the lift put on. Not the best pics with the weather. Eibach pro lift, bottom notch, 1/4' spacer, 1.5" blocks in rear. I wanted to keep some rake. For whatever reason the rake looks more pronounced in pictures than in person.

 

If you are stuck in a ravine that radio is useless.

 

very true, but it's still a cheap back up to other scenarios. Just more risk mitigation.

 

Same. Ive been researching this for a while. Want a small lift, but would rather have the fuel economy and rake needed for towing.

 

Sorry if this has been covered, and it may sound a little strange, but, I've gotten the birds that love to crap all over my boat to stay away by hanging a few rubber snakes from the ceiling above it. My dad recommended it after it worked for him at his backyard bar, and it has worked about 95% well for me, still get the occasional badass bird who doesn't care and craps on it anyway. Also, a fake owl is supposed to work too.

 

Ive installed Bilstein 5100s all around with 1 notch on the shocks in the front and RMAS system in the rear. Also added 1/4" spacer on front left.

 

How stiff did you go on the roadmasters? I'm at dime spacing now, want to go up to the quarter. Truck rides a little rough on stock shocks and the higher setting tho.

 

Yea I remember. Guess they get upset and crap themselves

 

Sorry, got ahead of myself. What I reported is my "end game" for suspension. Fronts will be done next week so I will have an answer for you then. Everything else in the rear was done last summer though.

 

On your suggestion, and I thought that it was a very good one, I tried the rubber snake twice! Drove away with the first one hanging off my mirror. Yup, you guessed it......gone. So since it worked the first time I bought a 2nd. That only worked for about a week even after moving it around every day.
Enter the owl. Since I crow shoot I already happened to have one. After the 2nd day I got this from the bluebirds.
So while both sugestions were good ones, in reality their effectiveness was short lived.

I stopped feeding the little buggers meal worms and for now they have gone elsewhere. We encourage them to nest here so once the weather warms a little more they will be back to breed and nest in one of the 8 bluebird houses we've provided. These guys eat a ton of unsects so they ar worthwhile having around.

Still on the fence about the cover. Taking it on and off every time I need to use my Taco would be a real PITA.
Now that the hose won't freeze every night I'll just spray off the turds as the need arises.

 

Didn't want to scratch my paint so I set it on my BakFlip and just moved it around.
Same results by the bluebirds after a couple of days.
Little shits!

 

Looks good! Thinking about doing something like that to my dash. What did you use for wrap?

 

Winged mice! Incontinent little buggers.
I'm just glad they're not seagulls!

 

Looks really good man!

 

I think it's perfect. I like a rake rather than completely level or nose up. Makes it look like it's ready for work. Put a few things in the bed and it evens out.

 

Installed my bed rack I designed and built. I made it because I couldn't find one that works with my Bakflip Revolver tonneau cover.

Now to install my RTT and put it to the test...

 

Thanks guys! I am really happy with how it turned out
