What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

You’re welcome brother.

 

thank you! That’s super helpful and I’m gonna look into doing the mod this weekend! Great pictures

 

Oh boy!!!!

 

I was under the impression that the projector did a good job at cutting off the beam and helping me!

in Canada the TRD OR premium didn’t come with the led style headlights https://www.theretrofitsource.com/i....040.jpg?resizeid=117&resizeh=768&resizew=768

 

Today, I removed the grille lights, removed the shackles from the front bumper, re-painted the hitch skid, and replaced the square tube base on the Yakima swing daddy bike rack.

 

Recent mods to Finn:
Meso Map and Dome LEDs - white
Desert Does It Seatjackers and Molle brackets
Redline Max hood struts

 

No one knows what that big square box is for.
I got rid of mine 2 years ago.

 

Plated the front frame horns, added another tab for my bumper as well so now the bumper is bolted in 3-axis'. Not moving/shifting now

 

its an intake resonator/ noise dampener - you don’t need it unless you hate VROOM

 

Finally got my color matched pro grill from tacovinyl. Also installed my diode dynamics fogs. Still have my diode ditch lights to install sometime soon

 

You may find this thread very informative and helpful.

Rough country!

 

I have the same one. They sell a "skirt" (or sorts) to help protect it:

I recently cleaned mine for first time. Ever. And boy was it dirty. I'd recommend the skirt. Seems to have done a good job on keeping trash off of it.

 

I will definitely buy it, my cousin told me the same thing. First time adding one of these lol. Does yours make like a thumping sound or knocking when idling ?

 

Not that I have ever noticed. But now that you say it, I'll probably listen just out of curiosity. But if I ever notice it, I'll let ya know.

 

Thanks!

 

Alright, so as we can all agree that our trucks are pretty damn tough, they are powerless against someone trying to *correction* actively breaking in. Anybody who has followed along with my shenanigans knows I have few electrical devices in my truck, so the fob is no longer with us. Just a plain Jane key. Being said, locks are now powerless but still work just the same. In this moment of "fml", I now see an opportunity that I otherwise would not have done had someone not f***ed my door up. Silver lining, folks. To the welding station we go! Btw the lock cylinder was found tossed out in the grass and I have no clue where the handle went so now I gotta use my knife to get in.

 

i Looked at this photo again of the dash, where's the dash cover from?

 

Looks good. The Viair 2.5gallon tank fits above the spare if you want to get more capacity. I have a similar setup. It was super useful that my brother built a CNC machine last year and we have a 3D printer. I printed 2 parts that install inside the passenger side cubby and these parts have threaded brass inserts for the plate to bolt to. The plate is 1/8" aluminum that I painted black and had the CNC cut text out to make it look professional. Viair compressor bolted between the driver side bed and quarter panel. Boat water pump is directly under the bed. 5.5 gallon water tank comes from a hunting supply store in northern florida. Tank attaches with 2 wing nuts and slides into a bracket that was CNC cut.. Blue Sea Systems fuse block directly behind the plate, being fed from a 50A circuit breaker near the battery. Firestone airbags with a pneumatic switch.

I am thinking about creating a kit if there's enough demand.
