What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

And they’re on! Rides awesome, love the combo of the Wescott front, deaver rear and tire size. CBI rear will definitely settle it down a little in the back just enough.

 

Sorry to hear man. I had same issue in April 2019 - hit from behind - screwed up my neck and lower back. STILL on disability... so yeah I feel your pain. Good that you got your truck fixed though.

 

Cleaned her up real good....the pollen here in Northern NJ is some kinda terrible this time of year

 

Nice. Did you add the

$75 Firestone WR17602506 Air-Rite 2" Axle Bracket Extension

axle extensions?

 

Not those particular, but something similar it seems. Possibly something cut on location? I had the install done. Former life I was a diesel mechanic on motor yachts but I've been in IT for 20+ years and have no suspension experience so some things I will leave to the experts. Reputable and knowledgeable shop, hopefully they are taking good care of me. Work looked good from what I've inspected. Very happy so far.

 

I installed a set of Fyre Flys Interior LED lights.

I took pictures and used a light meter app last week before I switched out the lamps to compare the difference.

Before:



After, using the same manual camera settings:



After adjusting the color temperature to be more accurate:



Color difference for the vanity lights:



The footcandles went from 1.4 on the seat to 1.7 (an increase of 21%) and 1.2 to 1.8 on the armrest (an increase of 50%).

The set of LEDs also came with 2 replacements for the rear license plate lights but reviews say it's too bright and washes out the backup camera so I didn't change those out.

For $15, I couldn't be happier!

 

They do. I also found out that the aftermarket ones comes with them too if you’d like

 

I haven't seen anyone actually "triggered" by an American flag here (what ever that means). Plus, from a pure design perspective, we have a brilliant looking flag.

But then again, true patriots drive a Ridgeline:

I kid. I kid. You can also drive a Tundra.

 

Your going to have to make room for another star soon.

 

Sad but we are well past that ... unfortunately, despite its long history:

Ha! Setting the politics aside (which is a no no here for good reason), adding one more star is really going to mess up the current design -- which I think it spectacular.

 

My 1st replacement (non-oem) on my 2016 came with the go-pro mount. Have a small chip near the roof that, after 18 months, just won't spread so eventually will see if the next replacement has the mount. Doesn't matter to me as I do not use it.

 

Hood and then headlights

 

Digging it all man Good work!

 

I’m sure many people thought the same thing in 1959, but change is like Thanos…it’s inevitable.

 

I did see a b-17 putting around about that long ago - wonder if it’s from there!

 

I think anything swastika-like is probably a bad call, but that’s better than a literal nazi warplane

 

Never. Burn the RTTs.

No joke. Not a fan at all. And I camp a lot, for work and play. Give me a tent anyday. So much better than an RTT.

 

What was your final lift achieved with the wescott front kit? Thx!

 

The flag's evergreen. I've got a 45-star I sometimes fly. It was the flag when my house was built.

I also fly my Grandfather's casket flag. Hopefully, someone will remember to put Dad's on my casket.
