What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Tailgate looks great too! I just noticed you're on message #10, so welcome !

 

Installed H9 bulbs in the low beam. Should have done this years ago.

 

Yanked out this fellow door dasher who took the wrong turn after delivering food to the homeowner. It was a big property and this was their horse corral area.

 

They probably used this:

$34 3M KTS-DL1 Design Line Knifeless Tape - 50m (164ft)

What was the attachment point on the Dasher's car?

You're a good human, making someone's day not so bad as they thought.

 

Almost all highway across the plains; I think she liked stretching her legs.

 

That looks great! In time I’ll add some sliders to the grey Taco, I’m waiting on a skid from RCI currently.

The shop looked like a pretty clean and modern operation. Of course I couldn't go in but could peak through the door: lots of space, a few robots, racks of tubes, and some welders working their magic. In the reception area they had a display with most of their armor. I saw a 4Runner in the parking lot with their roof rack and it was really low profile. The guy who installed my sliders even went out of his way to get me a black RCI sticker . I guess I'm a fan!
A front skid is next; trying to decide if I want the RCI one or the TRD one. Both would do everything I need and more but they are different styles.
I sort of wanted to install them myself but I've injured one shoulder so I'm out of commission for months, and when I tell my buddies who might be able to help me that I got sliders they have no idea what I'm talking about. Given what I saved on shipping I think it was worth it to have them done by the pro.

 

After hearing that the Fumoto valve is accessible without removing the RCI skid I pulled the trigger on Dec 27th. While it would be entertaining to run over the hill and see the shop, the cost/benefit worked out better to have it shipped over to the western slope. They mentioned something about 4 weeks, maybe I should check in?

 

It’s somewhat of a state mascot, lol

 

Which model valve did you go with?

 

did you pay any fedex/ ups broker fee's? I like greenlane products but hate paying broker fees for products coming from canada

 

Hes in Bc, thats a bC Park plate

 

Finally got around to building the dog a platform - I think she approves!

Also mounted my new roam awning and traction boards.

 

I went with the

$30 F133S with LC-10 S-Series Large Body FUMOTO Valve with Short Nipple and LC-10 Lever Clip for 12mm-1.25

F133S short nipple M12-1.25 and added the MH-10 hose connector. I was concerned about the valve being the lowest point on the truck. Also being able to connect a hose is key for no mess oils changes.

If you go the Fumoto route, I wouldn’t take the truck in for oil changes. The stoney bologna 19 yo 200 LB gorilla at quick lube is probably going to have a hard time with it and something will get broken or done incorrectly. YMMV
