What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

desert camo.

 

Looks great! What brake set up are you running? Need to replace mine and a BBK is out of the budget right now.

 

When I read the first word I was expecting this:

 

Got some carpet Off-Road floor mats, it's the little things.

 

Those are handy

 

Enjoy!

 

i didn’t think about that, but it would make sense…..chocolate chip desert camo was my era of service, an ode to my time in the sand box

 

The other day we spent a rather somber day at the beach, 78 years ago named Omaha.


Even though the beach wasn’t crowded, it seemed full


The American cemetery there though was jam packed. Almost 10,000 buried there

Wow! What a day


What is heartening is that the locals have not forgotten our servicemen’s sacrifice.


For you Canadians, 500 of your soldiers are buried here at the Commonwealth Bayeux cemetery

 

Can I get a firewall pic? I'm having mine done soon and would like to see how far back you went in relation to the cab mount and how high you cut.
Thanks.

 

Those pictures of the truck torn apart scare me.

 

My Cat Shield is coming Tuesday. Were you able to install it without removing the skid plate? (Some videos say you can)

 

Nah. That wasn't the first dash I've disassembled.

Just have to remember the sequence of putting it back together. Like a game of Simon, only with plastic clips and 10mm screws.


(That lower left kick panel is still the worst though. That one is my bain)

 

This is an ebc kit I just installed. Haven’t got to drive it yet to get a good feel for it.

I’ll try and snag some more while I’m working on it today

 

Making some progress. Giving it about 30 mins a day after work. I suck at painting as well. Got the channels cleaned out (this step is a ROYAL P.I.T.A.). But the first one is nearing completion. Hoping to get an extension harness built (DIY) for the diode dynamics switchbacks so I can simply wire it with the adapters and not hack in to factory wiring, @daveeasa was a tremendous help on finding the correct connector to make this happen.

 

Not the OP, but yes on my ‘18 with the OEM TRD skid.

 

So, what are you doing exactly? Why not just buy the OEM LEDs and not go through all this? Genuine question

 

I'm a glutton for punishment. Honestly, wanted a few more options and save a little $$ (all in so far about $800). Wanted a different look as well. I actually prefer the look of the projector headlights with BHLM vs the oem LED as well. Halfway thru this project those factory led assemblies are looking a bit better though lol.

 

Looks like he’s doing the blackout mod. I don’t blame him OEM LED headlights are expensive. I’m looking to buy some used headlights I can do this with.

 

Exactly what I did. Purchased a good used set from a member on this site and got to work. This is a long, tedious process, and hope the outcome is worth it.

Also, wife likes this hobby better than me spending $$ at the range every weekend

 

I do every 7500km myself. Oil is cheaper than an engine.
