What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Are those Aluminum or steel?

 

Thx to TW folks! lol
we sure know how to help each other...spend our money.

 

They're steel with plastic skid resistant step pads. The 3rd Gen specific is Aluminum with a hefty $$. These are 2nd Gen specific but half the cost.

 

Nice! What did you use to cut it?

 

Surely there is a YouTube video on it?

 

Good thing I’ll always have a need for a light bar but no winch. That’s why I went the route I did

 

Surely, there’s more than one way to do it.

 

@tclavell Just went back and looked at the picture of your light bar and noticed the 12v plug in the lower facia. Nice!

 

Thanks for the info! They look good

 

you did this very nice and clean. Any pic from the side? I find this is where the viper cut loses me on appeal from the side view where the flare is.

 

I’m stoked you got sorted out and it’s all good.

 

Just had to replace my battery. I have a 2017 TRD sport.
I went to go home from work and got the death rattle…..so picked up a Duralast Gold 750 battery. Hope its a decent battery. It has a 3 year warranty through autozone, so if it sucks there’s that.
What batteries have you guys switched to after your factory battery died?

 

I was on my 2nd OEM battery in my 2017 TRD OR. Got tired of not knowing it would start on a cold Monday morning so I purchased an Eliminator from Canadian Tire. The truck actually turns over faster and I can have the lights on all afternoon and not worry about it not starting.

 

Can you shoot me the info on that battery? Im reading alot of bum reviews on the one i just bought so i’m already looking for what to replace this one with lol

 

My 2016 died last winter so I got a good five

The OEM battery on my 2016 died last fall, so I got almost 5 years out of it. I picked up whatever they have at Costco (Interstate I think). My dealership was going to charge me $135 for the OEM battery with a 4 year warranty, which really isn't that bad.

 

This battery is taller than the OEM and therefore a bit heavier as well. I discovered a spacer underneath the OEM battery which I had to remove.

I had been looking at this one as well. Will be my third battery.

 

I'm hoping its a good one, but even if it dies in one year or less, warranty will get me a new one so it's all good. I'll post up on here if it dies before it should

 

Thanks brother

 

doooood.....thanks for sharing this trick. I have never seen these nor did i know about em. These look better than anything i've seen out there!
