What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I got them off the Facebook market for $175 which is a great deal. People usually sell them for 500+

 

I’m the same way.. I know people have done it and results have been fine overall.
I wish someone would make a vinyl overlay that is just to cover the chrome portions leaving most of the TSS exposed

 

Installed my OEM bed lights. For how small they are, they throw a good bit of light.



OEM LED Bed Lights

 

Thankfully someone does, hit up @rrentrop. He has the full range of colors, below in MGM. I’ve had no issues with the sensor.

 

I'd offer you mine but its for a long bed.

 

And today I took her out on a nice drive down a lime rock road she got dusty LOL
That's Florida ugh

 

There is someone else that said they wanted to sell an OEM cover. I'm thinking about it. Not sure about them. I heard some leak.

 

I can only speak to the trifold that came on mine that was only on the truck for ~18mo but never had a problem with leaking from the cover. That said, I stuck plugs in the two drain holes at the front of the bed since I was seeing a fair amount of water entering from them. At some point I'll put a seal on the tailgate.

 

I debadged the truck! A couple of notes for anyone looking to do this:
1) It is not easy. Removing the badges is easy, removing the glue/rubber is a lot of work (at least it was for me).
2) I found that goo gone and WD40 work well AFTER you have gotten the initial thick rubbery chunks off
3) For the rubbery chunks, I found the best tool was texturized gardening gloves. it allowed me to get a good grip on the rubber and push/peel it off
4) Wear the gloves the whole time. I jacked my fingers up pretty good in the first 20 minutes or so
5) Be careful in direct sunlight. I thought it would help being 86 outside, but it didnt soften the glue up much at all
If you have other questions feel free to ask. I am glad I did it, just didnt realize how difficult it would be





Does anyone have any ideas on how to buff out the scratches to the clear coat on the rear? you can still slightly see where the badges were. I tried polishing but it didn't work too well.

 

I'm a fan of the ChrisFix YouTube vids. Here's one on cleaning your engine bay that's at least worth a watch:

 

A couple weeks ago I almost picked up the same liners. Which version did you go with?

 

I like these more than the predator steps that came on my truck. I've been watching CL for a set but none have popped up.

 

Is that up near Linn Run state park? Site 2?

 

No I didn’t, but it’s funny you ask. I did try wrapping the emblem in Vivid light smoke tail light vinyl but I didn’t like the look.

Here’s a pic I took before painting the grille, looked at it again after it was painted and still didn’t like it so I pulled the vinyl off.

 

It can leak but you need to seal the holes and put weatherstrip around the bed rail for the cover. So you won't have leaks again.

I had that problem in my topper so I had it sealed up.

Swapped amp.

 

Since I have the low pro bumper, I did the all stock options and the new hardware kit is a must. I tore up many of the original ones, as it was difficult to get behind most of them to access the mounting tabs when removing the stock guards. It doesn’t come with any pre-drilled mounting holes, there in a very large lead time, and little communication form the seller. Overall tho, I am happy with them. Don’t know if they would wear well when you go with 35s. My 33’s still touch at full bump in a few spots.

 

New driver side cv and cleaned up my adjustable endlinks.

 

35’s are not coming for a while even if they do lol. So where your 33’s rub is it because the liner sags down a little?
