What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nice set up. I was looking at the same thing. How do you like how your Rotopax and mount function. I have a 3 gallon and was looking at the same mounting set up. Is it sturdy enough? I have a Backflip so my side rail is lowered, do you think it will cause me any mounting issues?

 

Needed a little Jesus for the work commute

 

Super easy swap so you should probably go ahead and spend the money ;-) TW really should be getting kick backs from all these companies......

I have archive garage bump stops in the rear which were a huge improvement over stock but now I wonder if the Perry parts would be better for my uses and really want to buy them to compare the two.....


Also wanted to add that I used a C clamp as a wrench to remove my OEM bumps and it worked great.

 

Exactly how @K9tacoma described. They've been solid since the day they were installed a few yrs ago.

Edit - They're AVS low profile.

 

Thanks! Only been mounted a few days now but it's quite sturdy despite a simple "Fishbone" mounting plate. What you see in the pic is the lowest setting option for the pre-drilled holes at least. The top of my 3 gallon can clears under the height of the bed frame by <1" (photo). I also do like the Lox mount, it's simple enough for easy off/on, no freeplay noticed yet from can or mount.

 

It is forecast to be 115 in PHX this weekend ... but it is not the humid sticky heat back east ... it is a "dry heat"

 

Shoot, my Guage was reading 120 just last Thursday think it was. Typically hotter by a few degrees here compared to phoenix.

 

Looks like your getting some good MPGs

 

Complaining about 101 ... lightweights!

 

Lol. Unless like you said, its humid. Fuck that. 101 and humid af would be worse. I'd prefer the 120 dry heat over 101 (any temp really) with high humidity any day.

 

Y’all can come get some 95-100 degrees with 75-80% humidity here in Arkansauna. I lived in Phoenix for several years, that ain’t shit compared to steamy humid air you can cut with a knife.

 

Lived in IN/OH for almost 30 years ... been there, done that, burned all of the T-shirts ...

 

Read 111 yesterday

 

You need to good foot control to accomplish that..

 

Saw 102 leaving Bryant today.You would think after 36 years I would be used to it but no... Team Winter for the win!

Oh, and did a Diode Dynamics interior swap on Kermit.

 

As someone who's lived in AZ for years and driven through Arkansas last summer I can agree. Arkansas heat/humidity is nasty. NC heat and humidity wasn't nearly as extreme. AZ summers suck though.

 

replaced my worn center console cover.



any good steering wheel cover recommendations?

 

Driving out to Zion/Bryce toward the end of last week the temp hit 113 at one point for a bit. Was gross.

Anywho…

Rolled over 20k yesterday. Only about 7k of them are mine, but still.

Today I changed the oil/filter, as well as the cabin and engine air filters. Gotta take it in to get the tire rotation and the rest of the 20k inspection items logged and done. Also washed it after the aforementioned Zion/Bryce trip:

 

I'm impressed with the way the conversation took off with it being Hot as Hell outside but, I took the pic and posted to show I hit 36,000 miles
