What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Great Dude, gone way too soon.

 

There LED license plate was a huge improvement over stock, but expensive but combined with El cheapo reverse LED bulbs I was very happy with the results. My new kit arrived today with there LED bulbs and I will post the results when I have installed the kit

 

Actually it was the bottom left corner that was broken off. It’s all good it seems sturdy enough.

 

I was thinking about pulling the trigger on this one with the v6 extreme brake lights.

I've got this in the cart too, but I don't think I'll need both.

 

I’ll look into it later. I kind of like it as is at the moment since the truck is silver and it kind of plays well with it. Definitely an option to take one day!!!

 

I would say ‘if’ you went the extreme route I would suggest the triton switchback extremes. But that would require the taillights and adapters. But we’ll worth it

 

That's what I figured. Gotta notch the bulb housing like the stage 2 total tails from Meso.

 

Yup

 

Here you go Rix Tux, a picture just for you. Wildpeaks on Stock Rims.

 

Removed my skid plate to gain access to the front diff to do fluid changes yesterday and am admiring the scars it’s endured. Been a good couple summers so far

 

Gonna run to the local high school and watch my school play our cross town rivals. We haven’t won in years.

 

Nice! Can you show more pics, I want to get the feel for the 3" lift I got OME too but in 2", thinking about upgrading to 3. Did you need to do the diff drop?

 

Had a lot of stuff done to the truck since May and I haven't been active but I'll be posting all the upgrades since.

9 Year Ceramic Coat done while I was away on a trip, re-installed the roof rack, got ceramic tint all the way around, finally installed the Baja Designs XL Linkable Light Bar (also ceramic coated), and got the KDMax Pro+XT tune done by Chris.

September

Did some maintenance, painted the rear drum brakes, installed the redline tuning max lift hood struts that have been sitting in my garage for over 8 months, cascadia4x4 flipster license plate mount and went wheeling with some friends at Hidden Falls Adventure Park in Marble Falls, TX, and post trip cleaning.

Post trail damages:

Slid into a tree on the passenger front fender and passenger rear bedside, luckily only scratches. Scratches on the skids, bumpers and rock sliders that I painted over.

 

Sharp!!

 

This is what I’ve done with mine couple of years ago…upgraded the Stage 1 with 4 v6 red extremes Tritons and extreme switchbacks with bulb adapters. But I must have gotten a couple of bad red extremes so they warranty them. I got a refund credit and got regular 7443 Reds. I think they’re more reliable than the V6 red extremes. Then the extreme Amber switchbacks started flickering on reverse and got that replaced on warranty too. But all is well now. The extreme switchbacks are amazing!

 

First one!
