What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I thought getting all the locking rods and associated parts realigned would be a problem. No? Storage issue, set of saw horses I guess.

 

I’m thinking that will be the challenge as well. I think before I take it off, I’m going to find a way to mark where the C clamps are located to make reinstallation easier.

 

I didn’t remove any of the associated parts from my truck, just the three pieces from the cover. I also put some marks on my bed rails to make positioning the center piece easier.

 

I saw a rep a t Overland Expo east back in 2019 and once I saw it in person I was sold. Expensive but worth every penny.

 

Once you have the locking rods set and locked into place no need to readjust them when you take the panels on and off.

 

I finally ordered a replacement rear bumper step trim thingy. The clips on mine broke years ago and it had been held on by the license plate lights.

 

Finally setup and installed the Doghouse RTT. Haven’t opened it out yet once it was on the truck. A real PITA installing on the prinsu rack, I’ll have to consider getting some tent riser feet to help out.

 

303 the interior plastics
Lexol the leather
Cleaned and Re-Oiled K&N filter

Ordered Carven Cat-Back Exhaust ;p

 

How was the install?

 

Valid point. I'm not a fan of the cutouts either. Will keep an eye on drainage.

 

Not bad at all. I am mechanically impaired so if I can do it anyone can lol. The biggest pain was removing the tape from the MAF sensor wire where it was attached to the OEM resonator box, and a bit of a wrestling match getting the new tube on. I found it easier to unsnap the top of the air box to give myself a little extra room to get the new HPS tube in place. Other than that, no problems. Entire operation took about 30 min start to finish.

 

Honestly just like the way the look (in channel) and let you keep windows slightly open when raining.

 

im usually not a fan of vinyl or graphics but that looks epic on yours!

 

Installed my knob today.

 

Thanks!

 

Did you buy the skid plate for cosmetic or functional use?

 

Finally worked up the nerve to cut my bumper…just knew I didn’t wanna cut my sport fenders. So went with the “baby” viper cut.

Drivers side has has a bit of a belly close to the fender which I’ll fine tune and file down when I get a chance and maybe chose too small of a hole saw radius to allow the edge trim not to kink a tad…overall really happy with the look and end results.

 

Sweet, been thinking about doing this upgrade for a while

 

Make sure to post up some pics once that bad boy is installed. Been eye balling that bumper for a while.

 

Scored a soft topper off FB marketplace for $350. Pretty stoked about it.
