What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

SSO Slimline Versa bumper with Stage 2 high clearance "wings", Warn EVO 10S winch, Baja Designs S8 20" light bar and Factor 55 loop guard:




Nitro 5.29 gears with front and rear Harrop e-lockers going in this week.

 

well google is not always right and some places no cell service so its kinda back up

 

Installed a RCI 18” bed rack. RRW-7 -12 wheels arrive this week can’t wait!

 

I carry one....it's nice to be able to look at the big picture. GPS and the likes are great, but not as your sole navigation tool. Digital + paper.

 

As I mentioned to someone the other day, my truck came with clear paint protection on the hood, scoop, mirror backs, door edges and under the door handles. It looked nice for a while but it started to show mold and mildew under some of the pieces and I got tired of looking at it. It never looked clean after a wash. So yesterday I peeled off the mirror backs and today i took off the door edges and under the door handles. I know it is there to protect the truck but it looks much better...at least to me.

Edit. Forgot to mention that I may do the hood next. That will be huge but the edges all the way around look about as bad as the door edges. OCD working me over.

 

Did the rear diff breather relocate today. OEM parts in Canada would be around $40 just for the fittings. Because I'm cheap, never throw anything out, and like to tinker, I started looking around the shop. I found some air line with a 3/8" female fitting on one end, and an air filter from an old air tool that screwed into it. With a little scotch Brite in with the filter screen, I had a breather. I took the OEM breather off and punched the guts out of it. What's left where the breather cap was, is a rather small stub, not enough to attach a hose to. I found a banjo bolt from a brake line and welded it to the the stub end of the breather, cut the head off, and voila, my breather relocate was complete. Told ya I was cheap!

 

Curious, who did your work?? Also, I tried Basil for a truck, but no luck, West Herr (Williamsville) is coming through for me.

 

@Tic-Taco I'm told that bumper does not affect the TSS.

I'm a long way off from a bumper but wanted to know your assessment.

 

I have the full SSO with bullbar and no issues with TSS.

 

Link to the arm rest center cubby cover? Lol

 

details!!?!? Looks sick!

 

That is correct. The bull-bar is just low enough that it doesn't interfere with the TSS sensor.

 

Picked up my new shafts, these things are almost too nice to scratch (just the rear will get destroyed)

 

Why do you require replacement driveshafts? Are they better than OEM?

 

Yep, doing dual tcases so the front is lengthened, and rear is converted from a 2 piece to 1 piece. Tubing is also a lot thicker than stock so it can handle being dragged over rocks

 

thats gonna get bent

 

Wife made me this decal

 

Just got notification that my BAMF parts are ready for pickup. A full 20 weeks from order. A lot of goodies tho!!!

-hybrid front bumper
-sliders
-skid plate trilogy
-fuel tank skid
-rear diff skid

I’ll be picking them up this Friday and I assume it’s gonna take two trips in my short bed. Going to be about 6ish hours all in, if it is in fact two trips needed. I’ll post photos when I start installing everything but don’t hold your breath. A lot of life things happening so probably will be a few months before I get to it unfortunately.

 

Have a link?

 

Nice! I’m leaning towards cbi armor all around. I’ve heard though unless you are an influencer they don’t take care of you
