What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

In the middle of almost finishing my interior wiring. Just waiting on 2 more components in the mail for next weekend, Powertray mounting plate for next weekend, and start buttoning the interior up. Thanks to the DIY RTMR thread on here.
I took the easy way out and just paid for a mounting tray rather than making my own... One day maybe.

- Have ECT and camera button going to Meso's DIY stealth shift knob buttons (waiting on package).
- Bunch 'o light switches going to lights I don't even own yet. Only S2 Pro ditch lights, which arent even on the truck either.
- relocated a the traction control switch to the roof beside rear dif lock
- relocated BSM switch to left side panel.
- relocated 12V cigerette outlet to back side of the center console. Looks factory as fuck too.
- relocated infotainment USB to center console storage. USB type C coming out of storage for a crisp look with no tampon string wire hanging out of the center of the lower dash anymore.

- Also in the middle of installing docloco's rear seat molle panel. Painted some loops black and have black foam, just a matter of cutting foam and assembling now.
- Mounted 285/70/R17 Duratracs on Black Rhino Warlord 17x9 et -12 wheels. Just have the truck parked on the driveway for now, but I'm cuttting cab mounts off and welding on Alipine Designs cab mounts in a couple of weeks. I'll get pics of the truck once I clean the blue film off the white lettering... maybe I'll just get a pic anyways.

Damn thats really clean

 

Nice! I ordered a Rebel about a month ago... hoping I’ll get that install call earlier than the “up to 3 months” lead time they told me. Where did you buy yours from?

I’m 99% sure the keyless entry can be installed after the fact. I ordered mine with it ($225). I just installed the OEM remote tailgate lock last week, so everything will be locked by the FOB or touch sensors.

I ordered mine with roof rails and a Yakima rack, but I didn’t go for the the Sportsman package (another $150). I don’t really care for roof top tents, so I don’t see me ever exceeding the standard 200 lbs. up there with just kayaks, snowboards and paddle boards. I assume since they gave me the option, that means that the rails have nothing to do with it being reinforced or not.

 

Thanks bud.
I'm trying. Haven't fucked anything up just yet.
We'll see how cutting cab mounts off the frame of a truck that has >5,000km goes.
And not burning through the steel when I go to glue the new ones on like a complete goomba.

 

How are the CV shaft angles and how are the CV boot fins looking. Thinking of the same setup and wondering what I can get away with before adding a bumper and winch.

 

I haul lumber with mine a lot for DIY projects and was curious. Does it look like your roof comes down on the inside at all?

 

I'll have to look into it because now I really wish I'd added it. For some reason I remember thinking it was an option on one of the other ones I'd been looking at but not this one.

I ordered mine from Pennsingers in Bakersfield. http://www.pensingers.com/

 

Dayum, that's looking good!

 

I wish I could have the keyless entry on mine but mine has the older pop out lock style. Snugtop said I would have to replace the entire window with the new lock style to get the keyless entry. $500 for the entire window, no thanks!

 

Nice, I figured your profile pic looked like Socal desert. I ordered mine from Fuller Truck in Riverside. Hopefully this means Snugtop is starting to crank them out faster!

I even asked them about keyless entry for the windoors, but they don’t have that option yet (I wouldn’t spend another $500 for those to be on the FOB anyway).

 

Just got home from a Fall Beach trip to Corolla, NC / OBX.

Aired down Continental Terrain Contact H/T’s to 20 lbs. Packed 3 of us and 2 Labs into backseat. Removed seat bottom for the 2/3 rear section to manufacture room for the dogs. Also very pleased with VooDoo Bed Rack for my Thule box. Yakima bike rack.

These 7 wild horses made their way over to us. Pretty cool for first time on the beach!

Ocean was warmer end of September than any of our Summer trips to Corolla. Yesterday- 10/1- the whole beach in Currituck County opened for 4WDs. These pics were from the year round 4x4 beach.

TBH you may want something bigger than a pancake. I say that because unless your’s has a 100 percent duty cycle you’re going to be doing a lot of waiting for the tank to refill in order to avoid burning up your compressor. The hopper holds whatever you’re spraying, in my case fluid film.

 

The roll bar is custom details in my build thread. Link below.

 

Everything is fine, and got back to normal alignment with no problem. Many people run this same set up and fortunately it isn’t required to upgrade the UCAs immediately either. Upgraded UCAs are suggested at 3”+ lift

 

Not sure if it's the angle of the pic, but is it green? Did you do it yourself?

 

Thanks, I have the same OME/Dakar setup on my 2nd gen and thinking of moving it to my 3rd gen. I know with my 2nd gen, CV angle and boot fin rub was an issue before adding the ARB and winch to the front end.

 

Lol, does kind of look green. Not sure if because red light or crap iPhone 8 but it’s black. My 12 yr old son helped by holding up the other end. Getting the spacers to line up was the toughest part. Just takes some patience.

 

What is it for, its purpose?

Thanks

 

thanx
