What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Look at it from the auto jobber's perspective....

When there are the sounds of wrenching metal, squealing tires, and broken glass....
There is a dollar to be made!

Looks like all combatants are accounted for. be well.

 

Crazy story.

my father Inlaw was on vacation last month in Colorado, had his truck stolen via fob signal. Two days later, found it at an impound. Apparently the thief was stopped a few hundred yards away from where it was stolen for a traffic violation, (ran a stop sign or traffic light) had a warrant and arrested. Nothing was missing or damaged to the truck.

 

Damn brother glad you are ok I hope. Extra sucks that some ass-hat just erased so much of your time you’ve put into your rig. Stand strong against the insurance machine and make it right.

 

Glad you're okay, and still with us to tell the story. Hope this mess gets resolved as quickly and easily as possible for you.

 

My Diamondback cover came in today...went straight to work and installed it but had a few issues - it got a bit damaged while shipping but was able to bend the strut tab back to a 90 degree angle...which was the worst of the damage

Horrible install instructions for the front runner tho...it was pretty much non existent as part of the delivery.

 

thats a steep hill

 

Dear God…. That is one fugly abomination. Poor truck

 

I hope everyone is ok! I am picking my truck up tomorrow from the Bodyshop after being rear ended.

 

[Hawaii and Texas dislike this]

 

I love the looks of the RCI sliders!

 

all trucks have that

 

its not there

 

well i like the bumper

 

Despite the damage....How do you like the cover??

 

Started sound deadening install

 

A modification for a future day.


Picked up 4 Sport wheels from a 2020 that have Nokian Nordman 7 SUV winter tires 265/70/17 on them. Used lightly for one winter and lots of tread left. A few curb scuffs on the wheel spokes on the one that had been the Front Right, but otherwise very good condition.
They will be going on my wife’s DCSB after the ceremonies on Remembrance Day while she hangs the Xmas lights.
Studied up on the Nordman versus the Hakkapellitta, and they seem like they will do the job. Made in Russia, (before the recent war) which is one reason they are cheaper.
All in, $1200 Canadian/$900 US...which I thought was a good deal.

Background tires are the winters for my TRDOR AC Toyo MT 235/85/16. Not true "winters" like the Nokians, but they have the mountain snowflake, I already owned them, and they are going to be much better than the Toyo MT 255/85s I installed for the warm months.

 

Added a hygrometer so I know how miserable I'll be until the AC kicks in...



and replaced the steering wheel logo cover. Thank @Tony382 ! https://www.etsy.com/listing/1473990008/

 

Damn. Shipping damage. Having flashbacks. (Not the DB, something else)
What is the reason for the two photos of the DB mating to the top of the side rail?
Here is how my DB came from the manufacturer. Shipped LTL. Unloaded from truck using my JD SCUT w/pallet forks.
