What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Gave her a wash and wax

 

We should meet at warfhill brewery one day

 

Yeah yeah I know. Capital crime has been committed. In my defense, I ran out when I was working on it yesterday and forgot to get more. I will remedy that now

 

i use ram mount with the expedition Base and it is super solid

 

Installed Clazzio seat covers

 

I hate to tell you this, but you need a car seat for "The Child".

 

This is the way.

 

Wait isn't he like 75yrs old. Shouldn't he be in the front?

 

I think he’s 50

 

Yeah you right he was 75 in the force awakens. My bad.

 

We (my daughters and I) are watching the whole thing, in chronological order. No clone wars though but we are at rogue one just now. I’m not really a major Star Wars fan, there is at least 2 stormtroopers in the taco, and I have seen them all (except some cartoons) I always have to explain a lot of back stories to generations above me and below me.

 

nice wheels, what are they from

 

Hows the sound?

 

Just curious, how's that Roadshock holding up?

 

honestly it didn’t really change at all. I haven’t driven it around but just Erving the engine it didn’t change much. This was more just getting it to have clearance so I don’t drag a tail pipe and I prefer the look of no exhaust pipe out the side

 

Finally matched my rims. Plasti dip

 

Well, today I put the rest of the parts that I had gathered for my truck's upgrade project into storage until next year.

 

Well, busy weekend to be sure.

Made a wiring harness for the 6x Baja Designs S2's (2x S2 sports each side, 2x S2 pros to the rear) to be mounted on the RLD roof rack. Pain...In...The....Ass!!! I wish I could just wing it and just use quick crimps and run wires. But no, I can't. Everything needs to be soldered, heat shrinked, and run in plastic tubing. The design of the RLD rack allowed me to run the harness within the rack tubing, so it is completely hidden and not subject to any abuse.

After the wiring harness and lights were mounted on the RLD rack, next job was drilling and setting up for the bushing for the canopy to rack transition.



This is not the end product. Once I had the bushing in and sealed, the rack was brought forward to its final resting place and placed over this bushing. The bushing is not visible and instead resides within the load bar seen just behind the bushing in the photo.

Then came bolting up the rack and running the wiring harness inside.

Sealed up rack mount points, tightened everything down, and am ready next weekend to land the wires.

This will be an awesome set up for me. I typically arrive out at camp about midnight, setting up in the dark. About 2am, there is a firewood run. These lights will be a godsend when setting up camp, cutting wood, pulling boats onto trailers after dark, or any other night time needs.

The RLD canopy by itself did not look great to my eye....but I loved it because it will serve a great purpose. Adding in the RLD rack and lights really made this go from just "eh, okay" to "hey, that's nice".

Didn't snap a pic, but also installed a Yakima spare tire carrier on the rack. When going "way out there" it will be nice and will now be able to add a second spare to the roof rack.











Will need to upgrade springs to Deaver Stage 1 leafs soon. Lost about 3/4" ride height in rear. Want that back as I'm not a fan of the leveled look. I don't like the squat when carrying a load in the rear.

Never ending shit. One mod brings about the need for another.

 

2nd the never ending. Just got an rsi on like two days ago. Placed an order for an aal today. Truck is sitting levelish but looks like it’s gonna sag with 10# in the bed.

 

Ordered these a while back, finally installed these R4T LCA skids. Black was out of stock so I went with the gray thought they might match my Aluminum skids.
