What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I did a thing. Less stickers and then more stickers! Hahaha

 

Today it felt like dropping the kid off at her first day of school! She went to the shop for her lift. Goodbye oem, hello ome, Eibach and Westcott. Stellar Built Fab. north Sacramento.

 

I've had nothing but great experiences when ordering from @memario1214 / hotshot offroad. Fast free shipping and no sales tax.

Added my SubZero Cold Air Intake on Saturday. So many more horse torques!

(Just kidding, it was just stupid cold outside. -12°F )

 

Thx. I’ll check them out.

 

I’ll 2nd HotshotOffroad.
Got mine from there about 2 Black Fridays ago for $272!

 

Nice man the best i've done is 23.5. That was hypermiling.

 

Wet Okole seat covers!!!

 

What I've actually done today is installed the glare blockers on license plate lamps (thanks @sphinxbccp ! Link) (Insert well known picture, this time with a dusting of snow.)

Also, added $0.04 worth of grip tape to the center console organizer so that I can actually lift it out of there when I need to. (It's the little things.)

 

Got the truck ceramic coated. Paint, glass, grille, wheels

 

How do you like it so far? I wanna upgrade mine but dont want to spend a fortune on it and dont know what all i need for a JBL headunit swap.

 

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
