What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I hope when you folks installing these need to used those shackles, you use both of them at the same time to even out the stress on that sub frame. Better than just using the OEM tie down point, but the idea of yanking on that stresses me out.

 

So you're the reason I couldn't get these on the black Friday sale!!!

 

Looks good. Thank you

 

Got the Pro wheels on and playing with photo editing.

 

Prinsu rack installed!

 

The earrings of the truck world.

 

Nice, I bet that feels much better. Nothing like something being a hair off, knowing you are the only who will ever notice, and it still bugs the shit out of you. TW ftw again.

 

I hate to rain on a parade, but I gotta second this. I bought a pair, but when I saw they used one attachment bolt instead of the two bolts on the OEM recovery point, I sent them back. I guess if I want hanging hard shackles, it’ll have to be on a new bumper.

 

Congratulations and welcome to TW!

 

I was going to weld them on, but after doing some research it seems many aftermarket bumpers need to bolt on to those holes. ( the single attachment point) I didn't want to have to undo them.. So for now they are just earings.. When I swap the bumper I will relocate the shackles to it.

 

Definitely. My biggest ‘concern’ is the engine/transmission performance. I’ve been researching the OV Tune. Wondering if I will need it.

 

Same as I just put on, 285's

Nice I went with 265/75/16 still wanted decent gas mileage as she’s my DD.

 

Well that’s extremely helpful thank you sir! Also thanks to @Puppypunter for being a super cool member and offering to come help me out in Denver as well. Love this community.

 

Did a little thing

actually two, bed mat for 84.00 and bed to tailgate gap seal 18.50

 

Absolutely! Thanks so much to all the great folks here, I'm only a week only on the forum and already getting huge benefits, y'all are awesome!

 

link?

 

Amazon and type in tailgate gap cover. Pick one!

 

I hear your point and am now concerned about this as well.

I'd like to hear from anyone who has real world experience with these. I understand they are not full on recovery points -- meaning I am not going to pull someone up or out of a 15 foot ditch. That would require a lot more equipment and probably something like the ARB recovery point.

But are these purely aesthetic? I hope not. I am looking for something that might help me slowly pull someone out of snow or mud. Nothing too major. I go off road on some very rocky trails but really don't see a situation where I will need to do something like a full on overland recovery.

I was looking for something better than what is stock on the truck for basic bad weather / light recovery. From what I can tell they also wrap around the sub frame so there is a bit more strength there.

Anyone use these to actually tow or pull someone? I would really appreciate hearing from you!
