What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Buying my lift set up next week, full Old Man Emu with light duty springs for now going on my 2016 access cab. I'm pretty excited, might buy some sliders at some point soon as well.

 

Got a few things done today, finally routed my RCA wires to get rid of that alternator whine, Installed some rivet nuts in the storage bin under the seats to hold my fuse box, got a few new ratchet straps because my old ones all rusted up in the bed compartments.

I also took the truck out for a drive today and noticed the ac was off, So I turned it on and it turned itself off again Every time I turn it on, it turns itself off again. So I guess ill be heading to the dealership before it gets too hot out to get the AC fixed.

Anyone have a idea on whats going on with it? I found plenty of threads about the AC turning off after a few seconds, but none of them give the solution.. except one thread that says they ended up getting a new AC compressor.

 

Took her out to a back gravel road and just enjoyed driving. Recently installed the Extreme LED light bar and JBA UCAs.

 

Hidden bumper light bar installed today. Happy with how it turned out.

 

No hate to the guy who sells hi lift jack mounts for like $100 but I wasn’t willing to spend that much for a few pieces of metal so I made my own and it turned out really good and was able to use the sliding bed tie down points without losing their functionality!

 

if your inquiring of the AMP PowerStep Manual switch, Yes, I popped out the left side switch panel. It' not that hard, there are youtubes on removing the panel, just got to pry it a little.

I took my time drilling that hole on that dummy oem switch cover. I center drilled a pilot 1/8" hole and worked my way to a 1/4" bit then I used a step drill bit carefully and slowly, when the center hole went off a bit, I used a dremel tool to get it more or less centered again and repeated with the step bit. Slow and easy, the 3/4" hole needed was about the max. size that blank could handle.

 

No, this dang phone anticipates words and puts them down. I didn't proof read what I had sent to @tcBob and so he changed it to what my message read instead of what I meant for it to be. Clearly my fault.
Hoping to get him to fix it for me and change it to RivetNutBob.

Update: fixed. Thanks @tcBob!

 

Washed and Clay’d it along with wife’s edge. She got a coat of wax on hers. I’m debating trying the meguiars ceramic wax on mine. Anyone have any first hand experience with it?

 

Installed the tailgate remote lock

 

Somedays it's just a little addition to the truck...I added the Bedrug tailgate mat today!

 

Where did you get the bed rug tailgate from

Placing a hole in a $25 hunk of aluminum will make ya sweat.

weld placement should agree with your rivet placement, in the perfect world...I don't live there.


No hinges on these doors....just hanging there. I'm out.

 

Damn.. I got the wrong lightbar size as soon as I opened the box. I plan to return it back for refund and I will buy other that will fit in my roof rack. Oh well.. at least I have other mods that are on the way in meantime.
