What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

First day off since buying it. 4 small but needed mods done today.
-Debadge (tips for removing adhesive? Goo gone won't work)
-Removed air dam
-installed rokbloks
-removed access cab seats (installing dog platform)

 

Might plasti-dip my aftermarket door emblems white (just the letters) later today. Should I do this?

 

degreaser and heat worked best for me when I took my oem emblems off

 

IT NEVER ENDS!!!

 

I just spent the last hour removing adhesive from one side. WD40 used to work fast on the adhesives, newer stuff must be tougher. Got some Goo Gone now, not much better. Lots of elbow grease it takes. Will try heat to see if that helps on the other side.

 

Your truck, your call but I like it.

 

Turtle wax sticker/label remover. Worked for me, I use to use goo gone too but not anymore.

 

WD-40, 3M Adhesive remover. WD-40 is alot cheaper and still useful after the adhesive is gone.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Working from home means whatever you want it to mean.

 

Filthy habit that's killed more than one friend. Got one with terminal COPD right now. Don't know how long she'll hold out but the end is near. Don't understand why the hell they are legal.

 

Yes, indeed that is what I meant. I misspoke calling that stamped aluminum thing a "skid", as opposed to a "Bug shield"...

I mean, If I gotta remove 4 bolts to change my oil either way, I figured I am going to rock the cool guy skid plate.

I painted it because with a cement truck I thought the aluminum was too close to the truck color and black is more tactical.

 

You need a sticker that says :If the truck's a rockin' don't come knockin'"

 

Or in my case...“If the leaf springs are squeakin, don’t come-a-peekin”

 

Yea, the 255-80 is a 33" tire and the 255-75 is a 32" tire. I figured without a lift the 32 is a better fit, but I will probably have to break out the heat gun and snippers still.

Besides the weight of the 32" tire is a lot less than the 33" and they have SL and C load options and if i went with 33"s, I would have to get KM3s and those things are heavy and expensive...It is a self limiting decision so that I don't spend $5K on a lift in these trying and difficult times

I actually rolled out today to stop by a couple of tire places, but they were all packed with people. I am going to go back during the week when it is less busy. All the online sites tell me they wont fit and I wanted to make sure I speak to the guy who would install to ensure that is just not because the websites only use the stock sizes, not that they physically will not fit.

If I found a 33" tire that weighs less than 45LBS and would not need drastic cuts to fit, I would be on it....

 

It's about choice. Some people make bad choices. Alcohol is the same. I don't smoke and never have. I do drink occasionally but I do it because it tastes good and do not do in excess. Nothing like having a beer with friends sitting around the Taco discussing what the next mod will be. Today is puddle light wiring.

 

Was needing some bass after the kicker speaker upgrade. Wired a JL audio
Microsub+ right behind the rear passenger seat. Fits like a glove!

 

I’ve heard from a few they do fit, that’s my planned size when my stocks wear out
