What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Cleaned her up after going to the snow and playing in some mud yesterday and today.

is there a thread for “on sale” or sites with sales right now? Couldn’t find one with the search

 

Lomax seems to be the most popular choice for a trifold. I have the bakflip x4s, but if I were to buy again I would go with a shell for the extra space.

There's usually a mega thread for Black Friday sales. Someone should start a new one for the upcoming President's Day sales.

Added a .08 Kilowatt nuclear fusion powered electric generator to my hood courtesy of the recent Cascadia group buy.

 

Finished the install of the R4T dash piece to incorporate the auxbeam. So that project is now done. Ordered a set of ditch lights to try out and waiting for snow to clear and a warmer day so I can hack the bumper off and add the high clearance bumper.

 

Because of what you've said
I did that CMC hope its a good work though hhh

 

Sweet! What bumper did you go with?

 

Looks good. Let us know how it does off road.

 

My wife got me the Rough country high clearance bumper with 20” light bar and 9500lb winch as a gift. Should look like this when I’m done as long as I don’t screw up my cuts.

 

I know that one. I was referring to something that’s updating daily with deals.

 

Oh. Not sure about that one. If I find anything later I’ll let you know.

 

Nice. Doesn’t look too difficult. Just be sure to double check your measurements. BTW, you’ve got a keeper!

 

Thanks yeah she has been good to me this year. Been ok with me doing a bunch to my truck all at once. Put off any mods for 4 years to make 100% sure I was keeping the truck long term. Now I’ve lifted, new tires and wheels, black out rear bumper panels, black side steps, new exhaust, OTT tune, ditch lights, and auxbeam switch kit. Going to take a break for a while and work on posting all the take offs so I can recoup a little cash. Then next mod I’d like is a roof rack and a rear topper rack for some extra space. That will probably be a next year project though this year I just need to do another application of undercoating and do 30k service.

 

Truck is looking great! My next project is installing my Midland GMRS radio. Should be here Tuesday. Will install next weekend.

 

Which radio did you get? I purchased the

$165 MXT115 - 15 Watt GMRS MicroMobile Two Way Trails Radio - Off Roading Outdoor RZR Farm - 8 Repeater Channels Extended Range - External Magnetic Mount Antenna - NOAA Weather Alerts

MXT115 micromobile and love it. At times I wish I’d have gotten the 50 watt radio but so far the 15 watt has done shockingly well at reaching the repeater where I didn’t think it would.

 

That’s good to hear because I also purchased the

$165 MXT115 - 15 Watt GMRS MicroMobile Two Way Trails Radio - Off Roading Outdoor RZR Farm - 8 Repeater Channels Extended Range - External Magnetic Mount Antenna - NOAA Weather Alerts

MXT115 Micromobile with the 3db Gain Ghost Antenna. Which antenna are you using? I also have a 4’ Firestik antenna for my

$65 Uniden PRO505XL 40-Channel CB Radio. Pro-Series, Compact Design. Public Address (PA) Function. Instant Emergency Channel 9, External Speaker Jack, Large Easy to Read Display. - Black

Uniden PRO505XL CB, and got a reading of 1 on ch1 and ch20 and a reading of 1.2 on ch40 with my SWR meter.

 

Right now just the standard antenna. I have an antenna that was built by my dad that I’m gonna try this upcoming season but I wanted to see what the standard antenna could get me. One of the local repeaters here is pretty good and I can reach it about 70 miles away with the base antenna. It does start to get a little static but can easily transmit. Very pleased with an affordable option!

 

Sweet. Let me know how your dad’s antenna works out. Not sure I can use the Firestik because of frequency range.

 

You did that fast! Nice job. More room for activities!
