What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

They are the Prinsu mounting brackets. I just installed the rack and lights yesterday so I have not had a chance to make any adjustments. On the way to work today, I turned on the light and I was high, up in the trees. Will have to make some changes.

 

I've got a set of the DCLB sliders from westcott and I love them. It's hard enough to find sliders for DCLB but they were local for me so plus no shipping was a no brainer. I did the 20° so they hug the frame since I don't plan of ever getting more than a 3 inch lift and I don't need the step but I highly recommend westcott and their customer service is second to none.

 

That's a little different looking than mine...I noticed the bolts on the bent side...what do you have connected to it that extends?

Yo I need this!

 

Thanks Henry Rollins

 

Here is a link the initial startup of the Taco on my lift..

I'll take a picture next time when I go ride. They open all the way, but I'm getting stronger struts soon.

 

Ed,
They’re little extensions that came with the shield. I’m not 100% sure that I have them on correctly, I’ve seen two different ways to install them from pics here. I have a message in to Shaun to see if I have them on correctly or not. If not it shouldn’t be too big of a deal to switch them around.
I’ll post up the correct way once I get confirmation.

Oh, yeah...I see. A little more protection for that open area?

I see you have the cut-outs for the winglets...I just angled mine so they look a little crooked but I'm not bothered about that...it's underneath the truck! lol

I still have to order a set of specialty bolts for the adapter I misplaced. I should do that today!

Holy smokes my buddy was just about to buy a set this week since RCI is having a sale. Maybe not…

 

Purchased the
ValvoMax Oil Drain Valve - No Tools, No Mess, Fast Drain - for M12-1.25

To obviously make my oil changes easy and hopefully mess free too... it appears to be simple.. once installed unscrew and remove cover, screw on Valve release that has tube attached, make sure your catch container is positioned and has the tube in it then let that main vein drain.... mess free!! (Probably, hopefully)

I am almost due for a change and will put it on then. Its fairly heavy and appears to be a high quality item IMHO.






. Also since the weather was so nice yesterday I threw in my OEM bed liner that I got from 20% sale and put some
Black Split Wire Loom Tubing Wire Conduit on the wires that hook up my quad hella horns... so they blend in and you don't really see them behind the grill....

 

Local fab shops = less shipping.. depending on where you are. RCI or CBI or something equivalent may be closer than you think…

 

How does it work? Does it have a builtin valve?

 

Dang man. I got RCIs with the kick out option and it definitely goes to the back of my cab.

 

Hmm, that’s strange I wonder why his is so forward? Looking around on the inter webs the all seem to cover the cab.

 

the oil drain valve should help a little with mess but I have a 2.7 as well. The biggest mess is the filter no way to change that without it dripping everywhere especially because I have a knock off trd skid

 

I need to do that with my rack as well...how did you do it? I like how they are not real big....

 

why does it look like there's a piece of wood in the frame

 

Striker engineering originally had a double hood strut option, this is their new beefed up single hood strut specifically made to just use one for people who have the other side blocked with aftermarket CAI/mods

Its really solid and short answer is yes satisfied with the mod.

 

Where did you purchase these from?
