What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

A zombie apocalypse suit and cosmoline is less expensive and has been reported by many to work just fine.

 

I took @Chew advice. Krown, $169

 

$300/year for 10 years is 3 grand. Makes the $899 seem like a good deal, doesn't it ??

I do my own. I don't find that Fluid Film lasts very well. I'm all for waxes and oils.

 

This is the first place I called. Not doubting the effectiveness of cosmoline. I don't have the time to do and I don't want to do it. Do other shops power wash and degrease before application? Do they do all the cavities or just the underneath?
Thanks

 

Are both projectors on headlights low and hi beam?

 

Thanks for the input! Have been seeing Fluid Film types don't last and need reapplication. Not a bad thing as long as you factor it in. I want to find what costs are and how well and where it's applied. Want to get it done before winter.

 

I apply mavcoat yearly. I get everything.

 

Nice background!! Rare sun out moment these last few days...

 

got pics of the inside?

my 2nd gen bakflip used the rails, my 3rd gen lowered the rails. I'm not sure which I like better. I like the rail but I felt it installed more firmly when using it.

 

On unrusted metal, I use "Undercoating in a can" It's waxy.

If there is the least sign of rust, I use Castle Endura which is a penetrating grease/oil.

For the Tacoma I got some stuff made in Sweden or somewhere that fogs into cavities.

I check the vehicles every year and spot reapply but mostly, they stay clean for 4-5 years. I use see thru coatings.

I'm over 70 and have owned lots of vehicles . I don't use a pressure washer on the underneath.

 

I got NHOU done for 300 this year

 

That part was one of the more uneventful tasks. Getting the axle nut loose with the help of the jack stand was a Yes! and getting the sway bar link off and back on was a Yes!
But pulling that CV joint out of socket and getting it back in was the big event of the night.

 

$899 is the same quote and sounds like the same exact process that I recently received for a local Waxoyl treatment. I agree that $899 is alot of $$$, but the free lifetime touch-ups have me considering it...

 

Had a bed cap put on. Also some ATHFab bed brackets, and an OGFab MOLLE command center overhead and a rear window handle mount replacement MOLLE panel.

Working on a ShiftSense and a REDARC tow controller next. Waiting on MESO to get back in stock on some parts so i can do the dash stuff all in one go.

 

Man that front bumper is calling my name, excited to see the progress you've made! Do you ever plan on doing any weld it yourself kits for bumpers?

 

Haha. Actually, I think this happened to me once, not while I was changing out the ECGS bearing, but while I was doing something with the front coil spring. Believe me I was sweating bullets, but I finally, put the tire on temporarily, lift it up The truck a little more and push the wheel in towards the engine just kept pushing up on the tire And pushing in towards the engine, and it finally went back in all is well. Tragedy diverted.

 

I have found it best to loosen Both sides of the sway bar links while the truck is flat on the ground. When one wheel is up, the other is down Messing with the sway bar is a little more difficult.

 

$320 for my first time. I also bought a kit to use next year to touch it up

 

Sunrise and sunset must really blow his mind!

 

thank you! and no plans for a weld it your self kit
