What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Funny to me, because when I first looked at it my initial thought was, "Why does he have a crevice tool mounted to his console lid?" Took me a minute.

 

Nice job!

I had wondered when someone would try a blue. The specs / lumen on the Blue looked pretty low on the website but that looks pretty bright given the color. The white and amber pods are wicked bright

and like that mounting much better

 

I swapped out all the stock speakers with Kicker. Went with the component 6 x 9’s and tweeters up front (

$216 48KSS269 KICKER KSS269 6x9 (160x230mm) and 2.75" 2-Way Component System, 4ohm, RoHS Compliant

48KSS269) and the 6.75” in the rear (47KSC6704).
I used 80mil Kilmat sound deadening on the interior and outer panels of all doors (this part took WAY longer than I expected).
Notes on the ‘direct plug/play’ of these speakers (and mounting accessories/harnesses) from Crutchfield: it’s up to you to figure out how you attach the tweeters to either the brackets supplied by Kicker or to the universal bracket included by Crutchfield (a solid plastic disc you drill out to size). I opted for automotive 3M double sided tape but the rim of the bracket is so narrow it was tough to cut the tape to size.
Definitely sounds far better than stock but I’m sure the factory HU is serving up much less power than these speakers need for optimal sound.
Side note: I too ended up with a grab bar bolt cover that won’t click back into place (top one only). Ugh. I see others have had the same problem so will check the pins to see if anything got bent.

 

You do if you want the pressures to appear in the correct location on the display in the dash cluster. Turn on the truck and hold the button until the warning light flashes thrice, then drive for a while until the truck learns the sensor locations.
If you’re only using tpms for the low pressure warning light, never look at the tpms display screen and only do a 4 tire rotation it won’t really matter

 

A powered sub amp was my last addition with my kicker upgrade. Sound deadening was a must. Sounds clear even cranked any of that 3m tape. Might cure the cover problem.

 

Nope 5 tire. I threw a coupla hundred for the luxury to do that lol.

 

Hey me too! I like having a matching sized spare and the added tire life. In that case you have to remove the sensor ID of your new spare from the ECU and add the ID of your former spare which you put into rotation. The 3rd gens can only store and learn the locations of 4 sensors.
Serval ways to do it; Techstream, tpms tool or one of the obdii dongles

 

Hey can anyone post a link to the thread where you can ask for the correct OEM part numbers? I’ve seen it before but I can’t find it in a search.
I need to put that on my watch list.

 

Which sub did you go with and where did you mount it?

 

Had these made up in reflective black had them on my mgm tundra and they glow pretty good at night

whatcha gonna do with your old one?

 

Transformed from camping setup to wheeling setup

 

Swapped into a red tail light and added DIR mod at the same time

 

I've never been pulled over for snow covering my plate.

 

You now just have to black out all that chrome.

 

It's too far gone......

 

Ok, I need a lesson, where is the TPMS reset button located.

 

left-ish under the steering wheel

Google photo but should work for you

 

I will check that out later, Thank you.
