What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Fluid film at NEO Garage.

No one wants to see waxy ass sprayed on a truck. So here is my dog waiting with me.

 

I bought them from a local shop that had a listing on FB marketplace, and just messaged the shop owner a few times to get the wheel specs and to set up a time to have them installed, but I believe these are the wheels he sold me...

I have the OEM Audio Plus system with dual amps stacked under the driver's seat. The mount attaches to the seat so there is good airflow around both amps. The sub is driven by a dedicated 300W amp.

After retuning the power out on the dedicated amp, the new sub "THUMPS!" I'm very happy with my setup.

 

Crackhead deterrent

 

Nice! I installed mine a couple days after taking delivery.

 

OEM Pro tails? I need to get rid of my chrome tails.

Did you drill a new hole or attach it with the current mounting holes? The issue I had with mine with using the original holes was I couldn't get the wiring to clear my fuse mount. Un fortunately I can only add 2 relays unless I bend the wires significantly. Here's a better picture of mine:

 

Got a little dusty in Central Oregon and these little boney dudes held on tight the entire time.



And since I won't be doing much camping for the next 5 months or so I got around to pitting the back seat back in and the neoprene rear seat covers. They look pretty good overall. I wish they didn't have slits for the head rests (since I don't use them) but they're not bad for what they cost.

 

I'm thinking of having my buddy fab me one up on his plasma table where I can use the original bolts but the relay holders don't actually start until where the rearmost one currently is and would still have room for 4.

That or have the tabs for mounting be higher up so I have more room below for the wiring.

 

Also just noticed you have your looms above the holder. I hadn't thought of that. I was trying to hide that wiring the way I had it set up but having one additional relay facing up on one of the other tabs isn't a bad idea.

 

Bump

 

Just installed the tailgate lock harness thing. Now my tailgate will lock with the remote vice having to use the key every time.

Install wasn’t too bad. The videos have you running the harness underneath and follow the camera harness. Maybe the 2022 is different but the camera harness is on the driver side it seems. Either way I was able to zip tie it on the passenger side and run it to the back.

 

When I installed my oem tailgate lock on my 22 SR5, the wiring harness was on the drivers side not the passenger side. And the grommet that was provided was too small for the grommet I had to remove to run the wires so I can connect from the kick panel.

instead of leaving a gaping hole I cut the factory grommet to accommodate the harness

 

Trying to put on my hard tri-fold top. Im pretty sure the description is inaccurate bc the bolts arent long enough to be secured past the railing. Any suggestions? Thinking maybe smaller nuts might do the trick.




UPDATE:
After a few misses, I finally figured it out! First project on my truck by myself and I’m pretty impressed considering the terrible assembly manual

 

Yea I actually looked it up and read a bunch of info on it and that it had been closed. Appreciate the heads up

 

Slapped on a OEM Trail edition grille, aftermarket one just didn't do it for me. Now to get black covers for the bronze haha.

 

I think bronze looks good if you don’t have any other colors that are different on the truck. If it’s an all greyish black truck the bronze is killer.

 

@bimmerlev

X2 Keep the bronze.

 

The truck is all Satin grey/black besides my red big brake kit, hence why I wanna remove the bronze. It looks good but tryna keep this tank stealthy hahha.
