What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Dealer installed camper shell today! Only a 6 week wait, shocked the hell outta me since they gave a 12 week lead time.

The Leer stickers had to go though...

 

Just did the ac drain mod. Took a total of 5 minutes. Its easier to tighten your hose clamp from inside the engine bay. I even fished my drain hose from inside the engine bay. I only laid under the truck to cut the hose and zip tie it into place. Super easy thing to do to keep water on the ground and off of your frame

 

Not sure what the hell happened… but was sitting in traffic when I heard a small tap, and then my windshield was cracked. Still perplexed. Truck isn’t even 2 weeks old.

 

Most insurance companies will fix that for frew if possible to patch it. Dont wait man! Call before its bigger.

 

Pretty sure I’ll have to replace it, unfortunately it’s already starting to spread.

 

BB gun bandits? Some guy, in jail now, terrorized SoCal a few months ago.

 

You could always just use a Sprint Booster on it then remove it when trading the vehicle back in.

 

That's a bummer. I cracked mine the first week I had it as well, only I watched the rock that hit it in slow motion.

 

That’s good to know. I’ve had the parts sitting for a couple of months now but I’ve been procrastinating LOL!

How did you route the hose? Some photos maybe, if you can.

 

I got my truck running LT KDMax... I leased to own. Just used the lease to get the payment where I needed it for the next couple years.

 

Wouldn’t doubt it… seems par for society these days.

that sucks… was yours bad enough to replace or just need to be repaired?

 

The bugs ruined any photos i considered taking. I just kept it atraight down, on the frame, and ran one big zip tie through a hole above the lca bushing. Its easier than you think. Dont make it complicated. Just open the hood, go to the passanger side and find the drain.

 

Replaced. It started out as a perfect circle then spread 2 minutes later.

 

Damn man, that truly sucks. Glad you got it fixed. I think I’m gonna end up having to replace mine as well.

 

Definitely hit up your insurance company for it. I have geico, so it only cost me $50. I did miss out on the second to last day of hunting season waiting for it to be fixed, so it was a double bummer lol

 

I feel for you. My Taco is a magnet for stones cracking the windshield. I have replaced 2 already and not 4 years old.

 

Back from being ceramic coated, detailed, dent removal and some paint correction

 

Nice.
When did you order those? I ordered a set 2 weeks ago and the lead time is ridiculous.

 

And I thought I had some bad luck…
I had to replace 2 on a 2nd Gen I had several years back. The first replacement leaked, so I was glad to get the second replacement. Kind of blessing in disguise. Hope this one can be repaired, but it’s in the center of the windshield and looks like it’s spreading already.
