What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I too, installed RockBlokz today, along with a review mirror radar mount, a bed rail at the front of the box and started on installing a Molle panel for behind the rear seat.

I like how the RockBlokz front flaps leave more room for oversized tires, eliminated my rubbing issues.



I disassembled the rear seats, behind the seat panels and under seat storage to add in Noico noise reduction matting. That’s as far as I got today, tomorrow I’ll use spray adhesive to add some black trunk liner over the Noico mats and then bolt in the panel!

 

Looking good! Like the viper cut! I would be wary of that CMC plate with the cutouts. Introduces water to the inside of the frame. Not sure if there’s any way that it drains, but just something to consider given the history of rust issues with these frames.

 

Slapped on some smoked sequential signals about 5 min ago..cause I like em

Sexy!!

 

Hope you had some parts left over.

 

Bass Pro had the Garmin onsale, plus still adding the veterans discount so I had to buy it.
(I don’t generally keep the mic or locator on the dash)

 

Quoting myself here so people have some context. These are the brackets I had @paranoid56 cut for me (he does awesome work!) to mount a Diode Dynamics 12” Stage series in my scoop. Gives them some adjustability. I used 3/8” long aluminum spacers in the rear.

 

“free” and “insurance” makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

 

I got the Magbak phone case for my iPhone and it came with a magnetic strip to act as a mount. At first I highly doubted my phone would stay put being how vertical the stance is, and my phone is the iPhone pro which is on the heavier side of the iPhone because of the camera. But after a couple days I was surprised how well the phone stays. I like how minimal the mount looks and am pretty satisfied with the case and mount. The magnet is pretty strong.

 

Had the Bak-flip cover installed today and couldn't be happier ! While I was there I ordered some Bilstein adjustable front shocks to bring the front end up just a tad and so should have them installed next week

 

I love these, but $150 !?

Cheaper than repainting the sides of the truck.

 

I financially support this crazy engine as much as anyone. Just seems things are more expensive than they need to be.

 

Screws and plastic, and cheaper to produce now days with printers and shit. Why so $$$ ?

 

Because they can and people will pay. Good on them for the hustle.

 

What tent are you using? Any pros or cons? TIA

 

Im using a right line gear bed tent.

This tent doesnt have a under tarp that lines the bed, this is both a pro and a con. Its nice that I dont have to unload the bed to set it up and I can have a bed platform, but the con is that its not sealed all the way around, so bug can get in. But since it doesnt have a bottom, it fits on with my tonneau cover folded up, other brands you cant have a tonneau cover and use the tent.

But overall its a nice tent, fits well and is pretty durable, but nothing that any other brand cant do also.

I got it in 2018, set it up once then was paralyzed from the waist down with spinal damage due to west nile virus, I have since healed up (still have a fair amount of leg pain and numbness), but I decided I really need to get out and enjoy this tent before winter hits.

 

Thanks for the info. I've been considering a bed tent to get off the ground in my tent. Sorry to hear about your health problems, but glad you're doing better.

 

It used to on my 2018 HU, but the 2022 HU while Car Play is on holding down the call button does not activate Siri

 

I have considered this same thing. I could easily build something to be an insert... its just where do I put it when I am not camping and all the tools need to go back in??
