What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yeah, steps in general are not going to survive long when flogging the truck sufficiently. IMO sliders are the only way to go if you're actually going to drive the truck the way it looks like it should be driven. Looking over options for sliders though I'm not all that impressed with most of the options available. I may just wait until I break mine off then build something stupid skookum.

 

Ah, my bad. I misunderstood the question. In that case, I doubt the mesh will have much of an effect due to the lack of surface area. If I was doing this, and I might now that I'm thinking about it, I would look at going the same route that Shveet suggested with the stainless steel wool. Combining the two would keep the wool at the top of the canister and might produce the cleanest air for the intake. I think that would be the Cockford Olie.

 

Nice. Just ordered my full plate bumper this week. Mind if I ask how long yours took to arrive? Just so I can set some reasonable expectations.

 

I bought some of these but after putting one in the can I decided it took up too much space and took it back out. It collects oils as it is.

 

dont use the fiberouse version of the wool. good chance the loose fibers might get brought in on the intake side and into the rest of the air intake and that'd be a disaster for another day.

But otherwise, i've slowly looked into what the Subie guys do with their turbo setups (can apply the same logic for our use case). lots of info there and it's just figuring out what is the "best" method at the end of the day.
My "issue" with the wool is that it will reduce the volume inside the can (there is still lots of room in there) it's simply remembering you wont have the full capacity.

Technically could compensate with a larger reservoir/ can.

 

I mean, you could take a page out of Oscar's book:

Treated my truck with a little respect and moved my weights from the garage to the basement so I could park inside. should be able to save on my electricity bill too since I’m not having to plug in overnight in the winter. Double bonus now my wife doesn’t have an excuse to not workout.

 

Agreed. I think the beefier steel wool (not sure how the wire thickness is rated, but I'd go with "thick") would be sufficiently robust enough to handle that. After a couple times draining the tank I'm pretty sure I'd get a good feel for the appropriate draining intervals, especially if I'm measuring the discharge each time.

 

97 days from ordering to shipping. Another ~7 days for delivery.

Not too shabby all (COVID) things (COVID) considered.

 

Thanks for answering. Very reasonable. Good call with that color matched trim.

 

The screw for the gas cover came out less damaged on yours than mine haha. Good job

 

It must be nice to live where there are no deer waiting to jump out from the ditches.

 

lol, didn't use them when I lived out in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma either. Before you say anything, yes, I've had plenty of deer jump out in front of me. What I figured out a long time ago is that high-beams are more likely to cause the deer to freeze in front of me. With low beams they tend to keep going making them easier to miss. Usually I don't even hit the brakes.

 

That particular encounter would lay waste to a bed step! ;-)

What the heck, It's only money.

 

Strange, I use the term "Dining" to describe partaking in a pleasant evening meal ;-)

 

Camburg ucas and Bilstein 6112s. Installing the ucas was no joke. Watched some videos and thought it couldn't be that horrible, 10/10 would taken it to a shop and have them deal with it if I would have known it was going to be this bad.

 

And to think that not long ago it was popular to add a can of Marvel Mystery oil to each tank of gas as a "Top Cylinder Lubricant".

My how times change ;-)

 

At least you don't have to adjust points anymore and you can get E0-E10 without having to retune your truck?

 

The best way to look at "space" is by weight" A SS scrubber is not very heavy. ;-)

 

I keep my points adjusting skills sharp with the Datsun 1600 Roadster and the magneto on the tractors ;_0
