What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

actually, yeah. I’m interested.
I’ll have to save this post and revisit it when the time comes.

 

With no one's help, I installed black badging overlays on my Cement OR...lol Oh, and I received my windshield sun shield today...

Hey, I just got the damn thing a week ago, give me time

 

Pics or it didn't happen.

 

@Diode Dynamics - installed the light bar a few days ago and that b!tch is bright! Super easy install, wiring is easy and straight forward although I ordered a different switch to fit the OEM slots as opposed to the round switch, not a complaint at all. Solid product! The brackets to mount are super easy to install and quality materials. One thing to note for anyone going this route, wear gloves because some parts of the truck are sharp, perhaps some thin Mechanix gloves or drape a microfiber towel in the are you are working on. For me, the part that took the longest was attaching the bolts to the actual LED lightbar through the brackets. Removing the bumper took mere moments, wiring and running the wire through the firewall boot took a few minutes as well. But for the best lightbar on the market, turn to Diode Dynamics, bright, sleek, low profile and the quality is 2nd to none. I have run a cheap Amazon 2 row lightbar on my old 2nd gen and thought that was bright, nothing compared to this one. Once you open the package and inspect the lightbar you will see the attention to detail and I know this one should be condensation free for a long long time if not forever, well worth the wait! Now time to take a break and figure out the next mod - will post pics once this damn FL rain stops

 

This came in yesterday, got a little bit of time today to play around with it. I must say its pretty nice, all the spray patterns except for the "shower" are pretty powerful, good enough to spray off mud and sand from anything. Shower setting would work just fine for a road shower, it provides a large volume of water at a low pressure. The battery lasts 40 gallons of spraying, but comes with a 12v plug to plug into the truck. Its 5 gallons, should be enough for most of you guys to rinse your bikes, kayaks, bodies, whatever it is you need to clean off.

The pump part has a pressure sensor, so when it detects low pressure in the line it turns on. If you close the nozzle, the pump shuts off, when you open the nozzle the pump turns back on. One thing I do wish it had was a level sensor that would kill the pump when its empty. But not a big deal since I wouldnt have it running without me right there anyhow.

Overall I would say this is a good buy at $129.00 from walmart.com. Little cheaper than a waterport, has more gallons, and is battery powered for pressure.

I need to design a mount that will keep it solid in the bed,

Cons -
its a little bit top heavy, so it tips over if its not tied down.
The battery compartment is almost twice the size of the battery, it looks like you could store another battery in there, but its a hair to small to fit 2 batteries.

 

Installed the Subaru upgraded tweeters and kicker front speakers. I’m happy with the improvement vs cost. Nothing like my previous car’s setup, but I don’t feel like I need 1200 watts anymore.

 

Installed the Lomax tonneau cover before hiking/backpacking trip. Ez quick install and I think it came out great.

Happy Independence Day Weekend all!

 

Just checked out the awning brackets and looks like Prinsu is excluded from the sale.

 

I had it in my cart and it took off like 138 bucks for the rack/wind trim. It came out to 595 shipped

 

Just tried again and no dice. Don't really need it so no big deal. You should buy it before they change the terms.

 

Went to Canmore last weekend. It was freaking hot!

 

Today was the diff breather. Its a 5 minute job. Not worth posting photos.

 

Do you have a link for that cover?

 

This post makes me hate my life..

 

Come over here bud! We’ll head to the mountains and drink some beer. Cheers!

 

I've been very tempted to upgrade the sound cones.
The problem is, there's not enough drive to push what's installed, even though it might sound cleaner.
I just don't see what benefit there really is.

My 2004 TRD OR Premium stereo system has more punch than this "Premium" stereo in my 2021

 

We’ve using the free version of Gaia for our mapping/hiking purposes and love it

 

I'm interested in "something" to have a map database. I'm currently using my Garmin (on-road) GPS to map out the trails as I drive them. Backwards, way, I know.
As for anything tied to (via the on-board modem, built-in GPS, SiriusXM, Apple Play) the modem, I neutered that effing thing.
I would rather buy a stand-alone GPS unit to have the features along with me. Which, I may do.

 

Sporty Spice got a makeover. New decals, viper and chopped the fender flares.

 

Does buying a bed light kit for a truck that's 6-8 weeks out count as doing something to it?
