What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

installed the HMO bars yesterday and today putting in the cali raised center console molle attachments after i go buy a new 3/8 drill bit since my ran off to live a better life

 

That’s awesome! I had had my cruise control on yesterday morning on the highway for about 125 miles or so and stopped for fuel and noted my mpg was only 15.3 Heading home later I didn’t use the CC which resulted in 18.5 mpg

 

Could just be wind direction.

 

Wow! That looks amazing! What size tires are you running? TIA

 

Thanks! 35x11.5's nitto trail grapplers.

 

Barely a breeze the entire trip. Think I got a gas miser.

 

Wouldn't have to be much. An 18% loss in fuel economy could be explained by about 14mph difference in relative headwind (based on an article from Freightliner), so a 7mph light breeze in one direction could do it. Pretty sure you wouldn't even notice it while driving. That's not counting any gain or loss of altitude that may be at play.

 

Here are some other practical things I've added over the past two months. I pull a trailer all over the back-woods of the east coast for work.

Brake controller was the first thing to go in. Conveniently fit in that little left side cubby.


Next was the Expedition Essentials Track Mount and the RAM mounts. I replaced the 9" aluminum track that came with the system for the 12" Composite Track. The holes mostly line up, it gives me an extra 3" to move things around, and it's one piece which I think blends in better. And I made some custom cradles since the tablet is very old and the phone is a Kyocera Duraforce Pro, so it was impossible to find what I was looking for with either. (Yes... the tablet screen is cracked.)


Added the 2LO Wiring Harness. (Thank you @lapoltba !) Maybe the most underrated and simple mod ever. I use it everyday.


And the bed topper. A Leer 100XQ. Best looking cap out there. Unfortunately, it's going back to the shop this week to deal with a window leak issue, but I still love it. (Yes, I intentionally ordered it in black instead of MGM. I like the look.)

 

No, that ss was my phone

I at least know it’s a problem

 

well done, sir!

 

I missed out on that awesome deal. I tried to hold off but lately it’s been so foggy in my neck of the woods. Not sure how long it’ll last.
I wonder when will they have another sale?

 

@memario1214 can probably help ya

 

Thx. I just PM’d…

 

FYI

 

oh man, that grip tape idea just solved my pet peeve about the console tray! Thanks!

 

If only we could get the M/T version of this

 

I hear you. I was about to throw the thing out the window the other day when I couldn't get under there with my gloves on.

 

Man you’ve got a nice looking truck here

 

Has anyone here bought one of these?

That would pair nicely with 22's, ground effects, and a hood mounted nitrous purge. Might have to upgrade the manifold though.
