What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Couple of lighting upgrades. Traded my oem pro headlights for a set of Morimotos, in those went, plus my 32” lower grille light bar while I had everything taken apart. Still need to wire the light bar, but so far, happy with the installation and look of the morimotos.

 

Got rid of the cheese grater grille today! New OEM take off, I had to drive 2 hours one way to get it but it was new and included the TSS sensor and garnish for $200.00. I just transferred my sensor and wiring harness to the new grille. Tested the sensor on the interstate and all works fine. Wife says that it makes the truck look mean. Happy camper.

 

Got that TRD skid plate on after the last sale and gave it a good wash

 

Detailed the truck today! She was filthy due to the ice and snow over the last week. Love my chemical guys products. Don’t mind the windshield, got that after the pics.

 

A little warm today to install a WeBoost antenna.

 

Installed the pro skid plate and pelican cargo case for the bed, next a softopper !

 

Great side by side picture. Goes to sho that size does matter.

 

Lets see it in the air!!

 

Ah man, ended up spending all weekend doing this wiring, wasn't able to install either the DD ditch lights or the bumper/ light bar. But now those are the only things left, and the dual switch lights up properly so I'm thinking my wiring was good enough. Looks... fairly clean. Maybe will use little zip ties to clean up the wires a bit, but overall I'm happy with how this stage turned out. Now to focus on researching best way to cut for the SSO slimline...



Edit: I also wonder if I were to attach the blue backlight wire to 87a, would that leave the ditch lights backlit until I switched the main light on? Would prefer having this activated by a switch though so wasn't on continuously.

 

Took the truck ice fishing in northern MN this weekend.... I really need tires bad. I was getting stuck in 4wd in 2 inches of slushy snow in the boat ramp parking lot. It was a angled parking lot and I couldnt make it back up the hill.

 

I thought I read that description right. I want one.

I chose favorites

I can't wait to use mine this summer. Gonna be so much nicer than going to the shitty wash in town that always has a line backed up to where I just end up driving right by. Some times are not so bad but most times, give it up and come back when everyone's in bed lol.

You better. I wager a couple hundred extra HP with all that turbo.

 

Decided to replace my old recovery tracks, got pretty beat up on the last trail run. Got these.. ARB tred pro. And if these break or crack, it's lifetime warranty! I'll still bring the old ones and use them to level the truck for camping.

Oh, and a solar panel and solar charge controller from Rich solar for my dual batteries set up.. to trickle charge while camping.
Re-tuned (ov tune) the alternator to feed to the batteries.. from 12.7v to 14v+

Edit: ready for a long death valley trip next week..

 

Bought a used Snail Armor tailgate liner yesterday and installed it today. Another "didn't need it, but wanted it" purchase.

 

Nice day outside, did long time postponed project - shovel mounts in the box. Aluminum z-bar pieces, t-slot nuts, quick fists.
Axe mount next, will do on the driver side.
EDIT:
Done with axe mount on drivers side today; works good, I'm happy!

 

Atleast you got it used instead of paying full price. Been wanting one but can't see myself getting it full price. I'm sure I'll see more and more post of this and I'll get it sooner or later.. This is TW, you can't cut the habit and escape the addiction... YOLO!!

 

if you paid for them you can cancel them

 

Nice! Looking at your vehicle description “2022 Celestial Silver…..” did they change the name of the color from Silver Sky Metallic?

 

Nice work! Looking forward to getting out to Death Valley hopefully this spring or fall. Is that a WarFab Armor bumper with the swing out? What hangers are those? TIA
Sure your gonna have a blast out in Death Valley! Looking forward to seeing some of the adventure.

 

No rub at all…I’m upgrading to Bilstein 5100’s this week for better stance!
