What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Quarantine has gotten the best of me-- finally getting all the small stuff I have wanted to do, well mostly. Installed the BAMF behind the grill bracket to mount some fake baja design LP6's that I got off Amazon (still need to wire them up). I sold my Pro grill (thanks @vilmontmarket) since it would block majority of the light and went for this ebay special raptor grill. Last, mounted the Plano case to the Prinsu with some carriage bolts/fender washers/rubber washers/wing nuts. The larger Plano cases definitely fill out the rack better, but I just dont need any more than this smaller one. Love it all, crossing my fingers on the lumens of the lights.

 

I don’t think it will fit the terminals I have.

 

Order my SnugTop on 2/27/2020 and finally got it installed today. The shell did drop the rear 1/2 inch, now time for the lift.

 

Which housing? Part#? Cheers

 

Added Rago Fabrication bed stiffeners

 

Because yesterday was Armed Forces Day.

 

I spent today moving the bed power outlet and replacing the passenger side bed cubby with a Tuffy box.

 

Oh, and installing fuel tank straps with studs so I can mount the fuel tank skid plate that should be showing up soon.

 

I have a locking cover on the bed, so I don't really need the lock on the Tuffy box. For now I replaced it with a keyless cam lock. That ended up protruding way too much, so I hacked down the handle a bit. Doesn't look great, probably won't last too long, but hold me over until I can find something better. I wonder if they make a cam lock that is recessed and just has a slot to turn it with a quarter/key or something...

 

I hope you have both old/original springs to get the sizes otherwise you’ll have to find the manufacture on the door and hope they can tell you what it’s engineered for. Pm me a pic of your door

I’m embarrassed at mine in its current state I have too many projects going That are taking up space and then unplanned delays or additions along the way. Normally it’s cleaned (opened) to just the wall mounted vac (vehicle detail wall) and other side to the bare wall up to the red toolbox and compressor.
Yard tools in garage because storm blew done Rubbermaid shed weeks ago… haven’t put back up because it happened to be in the way of the planed fence install which you can see the metal posts/concrete also laying in the garage with the irrigation supplies next to for redoing the front yard and the random chalk paint mason jar experiment; Battery charger, air hose and tools for the unsuspected alternative replacement; Tools for cutting railroad ties just leveled and placed; Back yard patio stair relocate (had to move that 10yards first); stock wheels and forsale parts I still need to pOST along with new parts/mods laying about; oh yea and the 3 lockers I just acquired unexpectedly from a customer for free that needs repainted. A lot of this work being done sometime between 6pm-midnight after work



To the judgmental zoomers…

 

I'll send you pic later. Don't feel bad about. Mines twice the size and unorganized. I plan to put a deck and shed under our raised deck in the back. Then the yard tools and equipment can go there, and my woodworking stuff and tools can stay put. And I share it with a car.

 

Mine looks the same as my TW brothers and is made by SDHQ. I don't think that'll work. The SDHQ is significantly different in size and shape than your normal battery terminal due to the many different connection points. I was thinking that I might try and cast one using red plastidip when the time comes if I can't find something suitable.

Until just recently that's how my shop in the basement looked. It's still not orderly but at least I can find the workbench now. I've just got waay too much stuff that I'll probably never use and most of it too good to just throw out. Add a number of different projects in various stages of completion and it can be overwhelming.

And tag sale people tend to annoy me so thats out. They want to give you $.50 for something worth $50. I get it that folks want a deal but........

I used to put things at the end of the driveway with a free sign on it only to see it end up in a nosey neighbors tag sale. These people give strange a new meaning. I probably put their kid through college with all the stuff that I put out there.

I feel your pain brother! I don't need a garage, I need a friggin barn!!!

 

My terminals (still in the mod pile ) are from SDHQ. Significantly different in size and shape from std terminals so those unfortunately won't work.

If I didn't have so many other things going on I'd try casting a pair using red and black Plasti-Dip but that's not happening anytime soon.

I'm sure there is something out there that would be acceptable but for now I don't know of anything specifically. All in due time I guess, like I said they're still in the pile.

 

Redundant post on the terminals.
Sorry. Guess I need more coffee.

 

Accidently went bird hunting and added a grille ornament...

I think it's ok...

 

It's a sparrow!!
If you get a chance come drive around my neighborhood. I've been waging war with these little shits for years trying to keep them out of the bluebird boxes.
Good job!
If I thought it would help I'd go put my cheese grater back in and drive around the neighborhood and do a little hunting myself.

 

I'm having a cup of Black Rifle Beyond Black, almost guaranteed to wake you up!
Seriously good coffee!
