What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed iArmor steps today for the short people in my family.

I almost went with a different brand because I can't stand "iAnything" but glad I went with these. Very lightweight, welds are quality.

Instructions aren't the best, but if you can't interpret them then you should have someone else install them.

I wish they included nylon lock nuts. Will go back over everything with locktite later.

Plastic end caps look like they'll fall off at 1st pot hole.

 

Yeah, they are the smoked black ones.
They are a bit darker than they might appear in the picture due to the lighting.

 

Added the MaxTrax and mounts to the TRUSS this morning, for the quick weekend project.

 

Put it over 10k today. Got the truck July 30. goes in for first oil change this week. also, might need to clean that clear plastic just a little LOL

 

Don't touch it! But if you do, get a Screenprotech and apply it immediately afterward.

You're welcome.

 

Good to know.

 

I tried to link to the website but maybe that site isn't allowed. I dunno. Anyway, it's like night and day difference. Hid all the scratches I already put on my guage cluster and now I can wipe it down without causing it to look like a guage cluster from a 91 Corolla.

 

No I bought them from energy suspension for the stands and the ring for the floor jack. I was using folded up cardboard before just to keep metal off metal so when I bought the radiator mount I picked those up

 

Get a heat gun or better yet a steamer and massage the leather out… it will get most of the wrinkles out.

I used a heat gun on low and it worked great for me (winter install too, last yr). 10hrs doesn’t seem bad to me, I took my time and probably spent 4-6 hrs on the front seats. I’ve still yet to do the rear but partly because I have kids and booster like seats and didn’t want to stretched imprint the leather.

 

Installed my Mountain Hatch tailgate insert yesterday and made lunch with it. Absolutely love this thing!

Looking at bumpers or a hidden winch mount for my stock bumper, because I decided that a winch really should be in my future so I'm gonna need a way to mount it. Realized that a winch would probably some of the best utility before a lift or other stuff. Research time!

Yeah see what I mean?

Edit:. You found one that works. Thanks!

 

Had the same problem. Try this.

Yup, that's it. Wish I would have slapped one of these on before I scratched the shit out of my cluster.

 

Winter blend gas is usually worth a couple mpg.

 

I replaced the 24F battery that came with the truck from the factory after 5 years and just under 23k miles. After 2 weeks of not driving I couldn't start my truck. 5 years seems to be typical of the battery life I've in past vehicles.

I scoured the internet for batteries. Pep Boys and Advance Auto Parts wanted around $200 for 24F batteries. I just went to Sam's Club and got one of the Duracell batteries for $109 before taxes.

 

I thought this would be a good place to share as well. Here’s a custom bumper I designed and fabricated!

 

You can also buy them from harbor freight. I got a set
