What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

This week: Picked it up from the shop (Krave), immediate 1200km road trip, some light off roading up Grouse Mountain, towed the boat around and dunked it in the lake.

Couldn’t be happier with the final product

 

That's the setup I'm doing next Saturday!!!! Can't wait!!

 

love the black decals. i'm usually a debadge guy, but these look great

 

Why the sad face?

 

Smoked sequential side mirror turn signals. So much brighter and cooler than the OEM ones. I even like the look of them when they’re off because they blend better than the chrome ones.

 

I picked up a set of Rigid SR-L Series Spreaders from 4WP today to mount to the CBI ditch light brackets I picked up from @Naveronski last week. These are the Amber backlit rigids (12112021R) and they are not wired yet. I am waiting on parts for an aux fuse and relay setup. I plan on wiring a relay for the backlight and a relay for the forward light. Forward light will be button controlled and the backlight relay will latch when parking lights or headlights are on.

In the near term I'm going to cut the excess off the mounting bolts for the ditch lights and drill a hole in the brackets for cable management.

** 7/21/2022 Edit: I took the Rigids back to 4WP for a refund since I hadn't wired them yet. I did a bit more research and decided the spreaders were not the best lights for my use case. They are bright AF and would serve my needs in low speed off-road situations but I decided I needed both near and far capabilities for when I am in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming so I can see further into the distance to anticipate deer/elk/pronghorns crossing. Ordering a pair of diode dynamics SS3 pro ditch lights. When I go with an aftermarket rear bumper I'm going to use Rigid's spreaders with a red halo for backup lights and wire the halos (backlights) to the running lights. I am leaving this post up so users can see what the Rigid Spreaders look like.

 

Did the same a couple days ago, couldn't believe how much brighter they were! Plus they just look cooler imo

 

Don't forget all of these emotions, too, while you wait for your pick-up date (in this order, pretty much):



Seriously though, congratulations!

 

Bro, I'm going to be "that guy". Don't take offense, but your placement of the American Flag on the passenger side of the tailgate is incorrect. This link is a great reference for proper Flag etiquette. https://www.supportstore.com/etiquette.html

 

You gotta squint real hard to see it through all the dust, but 80k milestone achieved! Changed the oil yesterday at 79,987 in eager anticipation

 

I've always liked those but my opener doesn't affect my truck in the garage. More concerned with the height of the door frame opening itself. My waterport brushes the frame whenever I pull in or out.

 

Which one of those says put a blue line through the flag?

 

Got some toys. $5 for the TT and $3 for the LC.
Might buy another one to paint it silver

 

Listen anyone doesn't support Law Enforcement that's your problem, I retired 9 months ago after 25 yrs

 

I've never seen a taco in stores but the LCs are all over. There is already a gray version from another year. Don't know which one you were talking about painting

 

displaying the flag as I do on the passenger side of the tailgate is the way it's displayed on uniforms of the military and law enforcement, it represents going into battle

 

Lol this is perfect! Spot on!

 

Looks good!

 

You are correct, but only if it is on the right sleeve of the uniform. The Star field should always be moving forward. That’s the “going into battle” you spoke of. If you place this flag on the right “side” of the truck it would be correct. Otherwise the Star Field should always be in the upper left side of the flag, even if the flag is displayed vertically. However, I appreciate the patriotism. We need a lot more of that these days. And, thank you for your service. I have the highest level of respect for law enforcement.

 

Added heated front seats, Clazzio leather and N2 design remote start will be here tomorrow. Clazzio’s we’re not that bad at all. 2hrs or less. I put them in the Sun and that helped a lot. A little tug here and there but not as bad as I was expecting. I will tighten them up more next week.
