What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Love that bumper, who makes it?

 

It will stop complaining about gas if you buckle the seat belt.

 

You can all make fun of this, but I don't think you realize how soon you aren't going to be able to tell the difference between AI and real life. This forum is full of people who think it's cool to post stupid shit and start flame wars. Wait until someone aims an AI bot here to do the same.

 

It’s bolted for now. At some point I’ll get a cat-back with a welded tip.

 

Got the box in today finally and got some work done. Still need to reroute all my old setup from behind the seat to the front seats and get it all squared away. But progress is progress.

I’ll be selling a Mr. Marv box for a JL 13TW5 if anyone needs one.

 

Damn! That sucks. Hopefully the storm moves through quickly or get your snowblower fixed.

 

It’s a good dog.

 

Put my ice scrapper / brush back in my truck a few days ago. Took the pick today.

Not sure if you all have used this spot before but it helps my a place for everything, everything in its place happiness factor.

 

Yeah I'm thinking / working on that. lol

 

New Wheels and tires today!!! Nomad Convoy Utility gray with some BF Goodrich Trail Terrain T/A in 265/70/17. No rubbing so far, but driving around with the window open right now is problematic due to the fact its 10 degrees. Getting some black acorn style lug nuts, they sent them the wrong ones, so the chrome are temporary. I like them a lot, but I will say they are a lot darker than what's on their website. The tires do ride nice though!

 

and they dont work in cold weather

 

I called such a choice OCD, but ... use the dark color as a start for "grey out" the chrome ... and remove the bed-side sticker.

 

Probably will debadge it this summer, almost did it this past summer, but never got around to it. But will leave the bedside sticker.... It doesn't bother me so much.

 

Between that and the tailgate debacle I'd consider moving or finding a garage.

There's a few options available through Amazon and elsewhere. This is the most common hardware for the main bracket bolts. It was originally designed or intended to prevent road sign theft. Not sure of the Amazon link, but I'm sure you can find it. Baja Designs sells them too.

(I wasn't able to clear the hood with the included Diode Dynamics ditch brackets and the square hardware, so I just opted not to use them. )

For the side bolts you just need to find the appropriate diameter and length bolt. Many different security bolt head designs are available. I believe I used these 10-32 x 3/8 button head fastenere ones for my SS3 Pro ditch lights. Bit was included with the screws.

That is an ape-propriate response.
