What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Not today but last weekend… I cut my bed panels and installed the Outgear Solutions high clearance rear bumper…


Cutting the side panels was nerve wracking….

 

Installed the Icon RXT leaf pack in stage 3 configuration.

New Leafs going in:

Truck after install:

 

Dang. Wish I had a big garage.

 

You did that wrong. I don't see any beer cans

 

What does that cost nowdays

 

Why?
It's a lightweight, bare bones, classic wheel. The stock steelies that came on my truck were basically the same design with less offset and plastic hubcaps. I think all the SCS wheels look good though, plus they are hubcentric which is a big plus in my book.

 

Damn that blue is nice

 

Am I the only one that finds myself wanting to put a “nose” sticker() on the stiffener tie-down? (When I am thinking with only the second digit of my age)

 

Well I ordered the kit that’s supposed to allow them to attach but they screwed up and sent me the regular mounting brackets. Didn’t wanna wait so ended up going to tractor supply or ace hardware, can’t remember which, and getting longer J hooks and some large washers. I’ll run out today and grab some pics for ya. It worked fine. Prolly $15 in hardware.

 

Pics of these hidden bed stiffeners makes me want them

Beautiful truck, cap, awning, and Vizsla

 

Thanks!

 

They were on the deck in the shade.

 

Trying to get all the smoke smell out of my trucks interior the last few days. I unfortunately picked up the bad habit during a time of stress but as of earlier is week have decided to quit cold turkey.

I've vacuumed it all out wiped and cleaned all the glass and plastic panels, fabreez the seats carpet and head liner. Seems to be mostly gone. I'm trying placing a bowl of coffee grounds in there overnight. The internet say is that or citrus peels will help.

 

Air vents collect odors in the tiny internal crevices. Might need a "forced air" cleaning. Maybe professional auto detailers know how to do that.

 

Yeah. I might search for some sort of aresol vent and AC cleaning product. Also now that you mention the vents. I should probably replace the cabin air filter.
The good thing is when I did smoke in the truck I always had the windows open so it didn't build up so bad as if the AC circulated it all.

Edit.

I found this product
InterDynamics Certified A/C Pro Vent and Duct Cleaner, Professional Strength Odor Eliminator for Cars, Truck, HVAC, 10 Oz

I ultimately decided to give this a try as it got some good reviews and Maguires products are usually good. Meguiar's Whole Car Air Refresher, Odor Eliminator Spray Eliminates Strong Vehicle Odors, Summer Breeze - 2 Oz Spray Bottle https://a.co/d/8ovzdRl
Have a new cabin air filter on the order too.

I'm off to a new start as a non smoker once more and no nasty car smells that honestly was embarrassing when I'd have to go somewhere with coworkers.

 

sounds like a good fix, I'm wondering what the J hooks will be able to grab, so if you can get me a pic that would be great thanks!

 

Swing by Taco Bell and down a half dozen tacos. Then drive around for about an hour. Guaranteed you’ll have no more cigarette smell.
