What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yeah.. that's a lot of money for a couple of knobs... Prices of things are ridiculous lately.

 

Absolutely agree. It's what one values. The last time I went to McDonalds (which I found repulsive, but needed confirmation ), a Quarter Pounder meal cost approximately $10USD.

Radio knobs and good bourbon. Terrible things to waste.

 

Guess we all have to pick and choose what we spend loot on more than ever. I was always tight with my money, but lately it just seems that I don't want to buy anything.. I'm just tired of paying such high prices for stuff.

 

Yes! I got them on here too

 

Another small addition. Door sill protectors.

 

Pretty easy install?

 

CoverCraft sun shades are expensive but they will last for a few years if regular use and they work well. The quality is top notch. I had one in my Ram 1500 and it was still like new, I just tossed into the garbage because I have nothing it will fit. My Mustang has a CoverCraft sun shade as well, they make them to fit each vehicle so they will fit correctly.

 

Not the OP. Using the soapy water method and taking your time, no sweat. Thinking back, door sill protectors were my first mod.

 

Well having Safelite replace my windshield 3 weeks back, I realized yesterday on my commute to work that my signals nor hazards were functioning. They were showing on the dash but not in the rear/headlights. Safelite for some reason removed the fuse inside the cab. I was not aware until a driver behind me laid on his horn when I signaled to make a right turn. Safelite, when questioned denied everything. I’ll never use them again. Those fuses don’t just ‘fall out’. It takes a tool and some effort to remove them.

 

Lmao some terrible life advice.

but totally understandable!

 

dynamite! Same here.

 

I used soapy water on the edge against the sill to get it lined up. The rest was dry and I smoothed it out. Took about 15 minutes for all 4. The first one I did was rear passenger and I do have two small air bubbles, unfortunately. The rest are perfect. Hopefully, those bubbles will work out.

Edit: Some people will remove the sill cover and weatherstripping to ensure a flush fit but I didn’t do all that.

 

I sent a pic of the truck with new wheels and tires to my father who is in his 80's. He said he doesn't like the look "It looks like a Jalopy, they should be chrome". Just goes to show generational preferences and to each there own.

 

Not as old as your pop, but I know where he’s coming from. Back in the day if you could afford chrome wheels, you were cool. If you could afford Crager SS or Keystone Klassics you were really bitchin. If you couldn’t afford wheels the next best thing was to take off the hubcaps. The result? Black wheels. That’s what a lot of older folks think when they see black wheels on any vehicle. “Poor guy, can’t afford a decent set of wheels.”

 

bahahaha. Well I have kids… they are girls and love the wheels.

do what you want. It is what matters most.

 

Removing the sill and weatherstripping seams a little excessive. Sounds like you did great

 

I hear you about the Cragars. Chrome 'reverse' was another popular low cost option when I was in high school. But only worked with a more vintage car. Like a hopped up 50s or early 60s.

 

So this is his truck on the beach and the second pic is what he drives when he's not fishing. Notice the SS on the wheels

 

You can get them cheaper on Ebay then on Amazon surprisingly.

 

That lip in their picture is due to the aftermarket tailgate cap, if you installed it using the oem tailgate cap it's flush
