What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I used this on mine

$77 Ceramic Coating Kit for Cars – Drexler - Ultra High Gloss & Hydrophobic Protection for Cars - 30ml + 50ml - 9H Hardness, Long-Lasting Shine & 3-5 Years Durability | Professional Car Detailing Kit

https://www.amazon.com/Drexler-Ceramic-Hydrophobic-Detailing-Protection/dp/B06XY6M26W I bought one kit and ended up with about a 1/4 of the bottle left at the end that I ended up using on my wheels.

 

Just had it washed and clay barred. Looks brand new again!

 

Need Help: My truck has been in the shop for three weeks now because of a rear end collision. The boby shop informed that the bumper reinforcement bracket is on backorder and it's not supposed to be available till October 22nd! I am beyond frustrated and disappointed with this body shop. I was hoping that someone in the Virginia area has an old bumper laying around. I will of course pay for the part. I'm just trying to figure out something so I can get my truck back. Thanks!

 

I got a short day at work a while ago so I went home and painted mine with Krylon. Prepped it by cleaning everything with Dawn soap and roughing up the clear coat that those wheels have. 4 coats of matte black and 4 coats clear they are pretty solid. I was fortunate to have a nice sunny day and an afternoon to get it done
Checkout the Krylon Fusion. It works great for adhering to the clear coat or existing paint.

 

Still at work lol but I’ll be there in a couple hrs. Pics to follow. Thanks for all the help with setting it up. You guys are solid

 

Awesome!! Thank you!! Gonna look into this

 

My truck got rear ended last year. I wasn't good with any body shop I took it to. None used OEM parts .. I ordered my bumper top stamp myself for $80 and fixed it myself. I wasn't waiting for a month to get my truck back... I drove it around dented up for about 3 months and eventually fixed it up. I made about $1700 off the accident..I lived with some minor paint/plastic imperfections. My tailgate isn't 100% either ..

 

The stock bumper and all 289pieces weighs about 45lbs without the receiver.

 

I will have to check mine to see if I have it!

 

Bernedoodle?

 

I looked them up post post. Figured they would be metal anyway. But still got my head thinking about how that could easily be plastic.

Same. My Dobie's hair is everywhere, as well as his slobber and nose marks all over the door panels and glass.

 

Finally broke down and bought a pair of pro tech splash guards from fend x! Love the fit and materials and clips seem to be high quality

 

Got my Adarac bed rack on. Works perfectly with my revolver x2 cover. Might need to adjust the rack a little depending on the RTT.

 

Just a few upgrades. Many more to come. Hopefully meso gets some more stock in. Few hundred dollars id like to spend. Shes coming along beautifully

 

Got my RTT installed today. Hopefully gonna be testing it out soon. If not, the first trip will be at Overland Expo next month

 

New Methods!


Shout out to Matt and Jordan our TW Discount tire guys for hooking me up with a solid deal. They took good care of me. I’ll put a before and after comparison in the Method thread for ya Jordan as promised.
Sliders next. I’m looking for a smooth, not obtrusive look in sliders and I don’t want the step down ones. Someone point me in the right direction that be solid.
