What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

New spyder projector headlights, sequential turn signal for side mirrors, and diode dynamics fogs.

 

Beautiful!

 

Thanks. Post pics of that reflective vinyl!!! Would love to see that.
Honestly with the VHT, I cleaned and applied light coats. All it took was 2 coats for the look I wanted. I used this once before on my bike’s taillight and was VERY pleased with the results. For the bike I just shaded the sides and left the face red. Bike was about 5 coats. But for the truck, I taped off the reverse lights and held the can about 3-4” away and sprayed on the light coats. I did let it dry for about a half hour between coats. If you mess up, brake cleaner gets it right off. Wash, dry and get back to work. With the Rustoleum, I was never truly happy with the results. But it’s was what the store had at the time. But with the VHT, I didn’t use clear coat. That’s just straight up wash, dry and spray. Nothing wrong with practicing on some plexiglass too.

 

Can't agree with @RiverNutBob more on this. Proper prep and consistent light coats are the key. I have used VHT Nightshade before in the past. Came out great on my old Tundra. Followed these directions at the time:

Here are some pics I found from that project:

 

Set up Garmin mini dash cam today. Amazing quality on the videos and super simple set up. Exported a clip but too big to upload here and too lazy to add elsewhere. Only thing still needed is the polarized lense. Definitely needed, surprised how few stores have it available. Found one and it’s on its way.

 

Before Renovation

 

No build thread here.. its more like a therapy for me.

 

Pelican Vault V700

 

My nephew gave me this because we're both Star Wars fans and both 10.

 

5/19/20 Mounted my camp chair. Cut a couple pieces of aluminum and riveted a couple of cinch straps. Holds the chairtight and completely out of the way.

 

Just finished installing my SpartanX HoodScoop light. Will try it out tonight. More pics/vid to come.

 

Pulled the trigger this morning and local dealer had in stock! Got a better deal than ordering online ! 398 OTD. Gonna install within hour .

Finally changed my transmission fluid to mt-90

Sorry man, had to, lol.

 

The 275/70-17s have been getting a little rub on the front mud flaps at full lock so popped them off. Really need to have the alignment redone and wheels shifted forward, but since at the current stance 1/4" is about all I can get with out causing rub at the front I pulled the coilovers and had a local shop move the clip up one notch. Took it from 2.5" to just over 3". Will run it around for a week and then have the alignment redone. Still about 1 degree lower in the front so I'm good with how it's sitting.

 

Give us an update on how you like it, any differences from stock.

 

What size is that pad?
