What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Are they a local shop? I lived in Milwaukie until a couple years ago.

 

I just checked and it definitely the 8th of May as he said he needed to know by the 2nd whether I was interested or not.

 

Good looking truck

 

The one issue your might have is that you accepted them and took them. They can claim the damage was done after you took possession. The color difference from what to wheel is a different matter though. I would hope they would make it right. Give them a chance to. If they don't. Your always have the last option of small claims court. Keep all your records and communications, texts etc. In fact try to communicate in writing so you have a record. But give them the opportunity to make it right first.

 

Installed some Bilstein 5160/6112's, JBA UCAs and some HD Dakars on my friends 3rd Gen. Looks so much better

 

I put puddle lights in my mirrors and under the access cab doors.

 

Impressive work on a very nice truck. Well done!

 

Nice man! I’m in Tanglewood on Carlsbad Village and El Camino. I’ll keep an eye out for you!

 

Blackout badging, tailgate letters and a mesh screen behind the grill - so far. I’ve also had xpel ppf put on the front (hood, grill, a pillars, backs of side mirrors) but I didn’t do that myself.

Is it wrong to love a truck?

 

Will do, so far loving the Retrax, the ability to lock it at any point along the rail is great. Still looking into adjustable racks but am going to get a cab rack beforehand.

 

Installed a crossover toolbox - UWS EC10312 63-Inch Gloss Black Heavy-Wall Aluminum Slim Truck Tool Box with Low Profile, RigidCore Lid. Perfect bed length size (12.75") to still load mountain bikes on a tailgate pad considering I have a DCSB. Used for bike tools and MTB gear.

 

What % tint are you running on your front windows? I'm thinking about getting mine done, but don't want them too dark since I'm in CA like you. Looks really good.

2,100$ for what, just powder coating or that and RIMS. Surly not just powder coat price?

Not pro rims here but I have had numerous rims done and none have been higher that $300

 

Closer to $3,265 with the rim price included...

Learning I reeeeally overpaid here. Especially for the quality. Super frustrating.


+1 of my bronze which were the same price for 4

Got extremely ripped off all the way around. Center caps should be included with wheel price not separately, for that price you should have gotten that blacker than black paint that cost like $100 a ounce.

Yes exactly what he says

 

They're 35%, ceramic. They look darker because of the white vehicle. I'm happy with how it looks, and it cuts down on the heat so much! I haven't been harassed yet (fingers crossed).

 

If it were me, I'd have bought these Evo Corse racing wheels, and called it a day.


Also, bummer about waiting until September for the OMEBP51's. You might consider the Dobinsons MRA's if it's not too late. They're a nice shock too. GL!
