What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Been learning how to vinyl wrap this month. Also added white stitching and some various parts to the interior and painted and restitched a generic pro knob from Amazon.

Went with matte white as I'm about ti wrap the whole truck in it.

 

Looks awesome man. How did you do the stitching on the knob?

 

Thank you.

I just slowly unstitched it and watched the pattern then restitched it the same way in white nylon waxed thread.

 

This is a good question

 

Added these LED motion sensor magnetic flashlights from Home Depot to the front cover panel of the @DiamondBack Covers earlier this Summer. Did a small mod to the flash lights by removing the smaller magnets inside and replacing them with bigger ones, magnets the same size as the ones 3M taped to the underside of the cover panel for each flashlights’ respective “docking station”.

More recently, to help complete lighting up the truck bed’s interior space under the DB cover, I added the DB light to the back cover panel just yesterday. Luke and the DB fam sent it over as a thank you gift back in mid October. It was totally unexpected and I don’t deserve it. I super appreciate Luke’s and the DiamondBack company’s gifts and acts of kindness.
Earlier in May, they also sent me thank you gifts consisting of a DB ToolBar kit, a set of Quick Fist clamps, and a camo DB trucker hat. I’ve been using the hat, but I have been procrastinating on the DiamondBack ToolBar kit installation. (If you think that’s bad, there’s a set of Total Chaos bed stiffeners I got back in 2018 that I’ve yet to install!) Anyway, I gotta find a good spot for the DB ToolBar kit where it, and whatever item(s) I attach to it, does not/do not get in the way of other things that I put in the bed, nor hinder the locking mechanisms.

 

Work around your climate knobs looks great. Nicely done!

 

I really lucked out on this one. I bought them off a guy on Kijiji just outside of Toronto. He hade bought them for his 18 and never installed them, and bought the 22 Nightshade which come with LEDs. He had the fogs too and the harness to plug and play everything. Got it all for $850 cdn.

 

Make sure you put it somewhere visible !, nice!

 

Took off O.E.M. mud flaps then, after cleaning drilled hole's so, mud/salt can drain out instead of being held against bottom of fender.

 

I put in the Intake FLOW Accelerator - Toyota (PTR03-35160-AE)
honestly, I dont hear a difference however that might be the years of motorsports/fire ranges that have affected my hearing.

 

Mine pushed on pretty easily IIRC.

 

I think the point is that air flow is improved, so less of a restriction. I notice the silicone intake tube noise was less after I installed the accelerator.

 

One of my relatives likes to spread out 1000 piece puzzles over the holidays.
I should get them to work on this instead!

 

Looks great. Will look even better with the lift!!

 

Now all you need to do is "try it out!"

Be sure you do it in Utah, close to Hurricane?

 

Man, this is the stuff I miss about being home!

 

Mine are out for delivery! Hope to install over the holidays. I've noticed the price has been creeping up slowly since I purchased mine. Thanks again for the heads-up!

 

Yeah, I saw they went up quite a bit since the early pre order pricing.

nice! Post some pics when you get it installed!

What color you go with?

 

Black

 

I like those!
