What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks; I've looked at that one. Still hoping for something in between what connects to the front cross member and the $300 ARB that is way more than I ever hope to need.

 

There’s also a DS one too.

I did not do a video for the trans cooler. Sometimes I miss working in the garage with the music on enjoying myself. The trans cooler install was one of those times.

It's really not very difficult as far as parts and hoses. It's the secure placement with what mounts you want to use to make it fit where you want it. Requires some problem solving at the hardware store.

 

I know the price seems crazy, but think about it like this. Why would you not pay $100 dollars to feel better, more comfortable, and more at ease in your vehicle that you drive every single day. If they work for you they are worth every penny. I'm positive you have spent more than 100 bucks on something that did nothing for you. A one time $100 bucks to add comfort in your life every day, thats an easy choice. What do you spend on beer, cigs, liquor, eating out every month. Perceptions are so interesting. We have no issues spending money destroying our bodies, but when it comes to adding comfort, things like a good pillow, a quality mattress, new underwear, socks, it turns into a not right now. Thats too much money. I go through it too. Mine is all the goose gear stuff and the blue ridge overlaning gear. As much as I like being well organized, I can't bring myself to spend it on those two companies. It seems so over priced.

 

I'd consider these seat jacker things. I just have trouble getting into and out of the truck, with the (what I consider low) steering wheel angle. There's just not enough adjustment up/down, and in/out IMHO.

 

Since I have a tonneau cover, I can just leave everything back there. When I want to setup the tent I just fold the cover up and put in the tent.
But most things fit under the bed platform when not being used.

The tent itself rolls up into a small bag that fits behind the rear seats.


But yeah, getting a decked is a big space requirement when not being used. I like the idea of it, but feel like so much space is wasted on the drawers.

 

New Falken Wildpeaks 265/75/16 on Method nv 305'S. Also tailgate letter inserts and a little extra horsepower above the V6 emblem on the tailgate

 

I was thinking the same thing!

 

This makes me wish I didn't have a rear power window when I did mine.

 

@Humble mtn adventures I have almost the same set up and went with Accutune and their Fox set up. I did an add-a-leaf for the rear and am happy with it so far. Just did a trip from the Bay Area to Bozeman; mostly fishing and camping in hard to reach spots. Suspension performed flawlessly with a RTT and fully loaded with gear for 2 weeks. I can’t say enough about working with the @AccuTune Offroad guys. They’ll get you set up for your exact needs. I ended up with 275s and about 1.5 up front and 2 in the rear. Still have the factory rake with the RTT!

 

@Nadjr love the wheel and tire package! The black really compliments the army green. Nice job.

And another $11 dollars added to the total, so far.

 

BAK covers: roll or flip?

 

You mean like vinyl or aluminum?

Vinyl offer zero protection against tweakers and crackheads, fades in the sun, cracks in the cold and doesn't last as long. It also looks a little ghetto when it ages.

Your call

 

today I realized I have new interior lights, r4t control arm armor, and new foglights all sitting in my garage that I ordered months ago and never installed. ugh

 

All hail the off-road limo!

 

Got to agree after having a couple non metal tonneau covers busted into. I ended up switching to an aluminum Retrax Pro model and havnt looked back. Really handy, and a well made unit that I regularly have walked, slept on in a pinch and lay on to work on my rack and equipment

 

They have the bak-flip (3 folding panels) or the bak-revolver (rolls up)
