What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Replaced the rear door speakers yesterday evening. All six have now been swapped out. Hoping to see a big improvement, even with the stock HU.

 

WIth the sway bar off I recommend getting an aftermarket set of bump stops for the front. Duros or Summos, they will help a great deal with body roll as the aftermarket sets are longer than the stock ones. They will engage sooner.

 

Hot lead

 

Took it out and played with it. Had some fun at Hardrock Offroad Park in Ocala. Tons of hill climbs. These culverts were a bit of a challenge.

 

Painted my step to match my truck.

Hindsight, probably not a great idea since I actually use the step a lot.

I was bored…

 

I just ordered the VLED footwell lights in the blue color to match my…anyways I hope to put both together on an upcoming long weekend.

 

Technically a yesterday thing for me but molded the sail panels to house some Audiofrog GS10 tweeters.

 

Almost like the 1st Gen with the tweeters built into the upper door panel. Great job.

 

I barley noticed any difference doing the rear. I would have been fine not even messing with them with stock HU

 

In an access cab upgrading the rear speakers is more relevant because they are much higher on the door panels.
I fade mine just one notch to the rear so that I can centre the sound in the cab better.

 

Ahh, that makes sense.

 

What symptoms?

 

FINALLY!!! FOUND a soft topper for my long bed. Only took me a year.

 

Yup, doesn't really improve sound stage at all.

 

Doesn't really improve sound stage at all. They are just filler and mostly for the passengers

 

Does that skid cover more than the stock or does it stop in the same place just past the oil pa?

 

I had the new Bilstein 5100s, OME 885's (purchased from a TW member) and Hellwig rear "helper springs" installed on Friday. Truck rides so much smoother, but with 80K miles on the OEM shocks, it may be they were pretty worn out anyway.

Truck site about 1" higher, but I didn't do this for the lift, I did it because my wife and I just bought our first trailer (Coleman Rubicon 16' travel trailer) to tow with the Taco, and my brother-in-law bought me the 5100's as a recent birthday present, so decided to beef up the front and rear suspension a little to help with the towing capability.

 

It covers what the Offroad two piece skid plate design covers.

 

Been there. Worth the 10+ mile hike in.

 

Anybody ever keep their sliders raw steel?
