What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Columbia? .. anywho.. might want to dim those down with the thingies sold here.

 

Installed intake thingy

 

Holy shit I want to see more of that truck!

 

Had the oil and oil filter changed, tires rotated, and the 3rd brake light recall done yesterday. The brake light looks nicer with that thicker black seal lol

 

Did you have any water spots/damage inside. I have water stains on my headliner and I wonder if they'll just clean it, or replace it.

 

Chris Fix has you covered

I did not. They'll probably clean it.

 

was this recall done for all 3rd gens? I knew it was a common issue- didn’t realize they did a formal recall on them

whats the point of super bright license plate lights that need a shield so you can use your camera?

No, not for all of them

 

I just got me letter last week

 

Bird? Sure. You just got excited that you're in the Taco.

 

The jury is still out for me. At times I think it's too loud but it also sounds really good at startup, WOT, and cruising speeds.

 

I read from the recall notice that they’re suppose to clean or replace any water damage cause by this leak. I wish I kept that notice.

 

Go to nhtsa.gov & enter your VIN. Should provide any recall notices on your truck.

 

Not really a mod, but I did drive to south central Montana from Georgia. Can't beat Yellowstone in the winter! Broke the 15,000 mark on the trip, and the Smitybilt Overlander Gen 2 on my UpTop Overland rack worked great.

 

Confession:
I did my driver's side 6 months ago....
Sill haven't done the passenger side....
Hard time motivating for such a small job!

 

It happens

 

Added a little color to the grille. Still waiting on the vinyl wrap for the oval logo.
