What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I wanted a different trash can set up for inside the cab. I had one hanging between the two seats via the headrest. But that was annoying when you want to flip one seat forward. So I found a cheap mDesign plastic trash can on Amazon and made some "enhancements"...

$19 mDesign Small Plastic 1.8 Gallon Trash Can Wastebasket Garbage Bin for Bathroom - Slim Rubbish Waste Bin Trashcan for Master/Guest Bath, Bedroom, Kitchen, Laundry Room, Office, Casi Collection - Black

I made a custom lid for it. I put dynamat on the bottom of the lid and the bottom of the trash can. Spray painted the lid black to match. Added a magnet to the inside and to the back of the center console.

 

i see. i misunderstood you to be moving it closer to the rear axle, as i thought the restriction to larger tires was the proximity to the oem trailer hitch

 

OEM bed step. Easy DIY even for me. Between the height difference from the ‘98 Dakota and this truck, as well as my knee joints aging 25 years, this was a necessity.

 

It looks to sit flush with the armrest. If so, probably not. I have a locker down with the cam combo lock. The cam definitely protrudes into the armrest.

 

Decided to smack a pole last night backing up in the good ol walmart parking lot. Having a fun april to say the least. Tornado took out our shop, now this. Thank god for insurance I guess right….

 

List of mods so far (but I'm going to sell her... just miss my full size pickup and manual just isn't fun for me to drive on the road). All that's really left on what I wanted to do this truck is the rear bumper.

So sorry for two big hits at once.

 

Changed my oil today, 7000 miles on it. Greased the front drive shaft as well. I'm good for a year now. The Fumoto valve makes it so easy and mess free. I tried out the oil Udder I bought a while back today to. That works fairly well also. I have the 2.7 with a spin on filter.

 

Put on the Caliraised v2 catalytic converter shields and installed the z precision cup holder.

 

I installed new speakers, went with Kicker 6x9's with passive cross for the tweeters in the front, and Rockford Fosgate in the back.
Front was easy peasy.
The back were a PITA. The door handle easily slips out of the bracket, so trying to keep them in place while installing the wires ... sucked.
I am waiting on sound deadening material from Amazon. Not looking forward to taking the backs apart again.

 

Installed taco tabs today and alignment wasn’t changed at all so perfect for my truck

 

Z precision cup holder.

Is there a trick to get rid of the annoying bubble on the qi pad? Never have it on or use it but has a pretty significant bubble.

 

double sided tape?

 

That looks like a bubble in the extra pad you have covering it, so I assume it’s also bubbled underneath? I haven’t seen that on mine. Just disappointed it’s so useless.

 

this thread discusses the charging pad:

Definitely bubbled under pad/cover. The cover makes it easy to see how bad it is.

 

Wow. I’d find that very annoying. And based on the part cost from that other thread it seems they could fix it with something that works.

 

Washed up after a week of rain.

 

New Sway bar bushings installed

 

Icon rxt stage 2 leaf installed as well as lower shock mount guards for the 8100s
