What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Too damn true!
But hopefully it will be nicer when I'm done destroying it

 

How much was pricey?

 

Thanks. I had a tent, but needed more storage when traveling so had to get the softopper. Still use my bed so couldn’t do a cap. Hoping to have enough room in there without having to take all of my totes out. Pop up/stroller/cooler/weed wacker will be outside setup. Plenty of room left for the luggage’s still.

 

It’s Colorado what are you expecting? No offense to real people that live in Colorado

When I’m at home in the cowboy state we live near the major route for Sturgis. Most people see the blind hill ahead and wait for the passing lane instead of taking the risk. Not the greenie plates. They will just go on around and then get the shit shocked out of them when they are passing halfway up the hill and here comes a cattle truck over the top of the hill at 80 mph. Same with the passing lanes that clearly state keep right except to pass.

SMH. I’m not surprised at anything anymore from south of our border.

 

Picked up a new camera and drove to the backyard for a photoshoot

Changed the sport suspension after 113k miles to Eibach 2R and icon leaf pack with Perryparts front and rear bumpstops. Rides so much better now

 

Where did you get that.

 

Did you go to TSL?

 

Got a set of Brass Volume Knobbies with fantastic knurling from MaceMFG (more pics in my post over on the Audio & Video forum).

 

We have these “briiliant” signs in FLA:

blew my mind first time i saw one!

 

pretty clean, have you gone off road?

 

Well.... that was less than fun.... Was leaving my house to go to walmart to get a arm brace (torn ligaments in my arm). As I was getting close to the exit of the neighborhood I heard what sounded like fireworks, then it was rapid fire bangs. I see my kids running from the park yelling "there is someone shooting!"
Grab the kids into the truck and speed off. We turn into their friends neighborhood because the friends ran a different way and we needed to find them. They were not there, we turned around and headed to our house thinking they may of ran that way. The kids and some of the parents of other kids were there screaming and crying.

I went back to the park after police set up a perimeter and they had about 100 officers there. Told them I had 5 kids in my house that all saw it happen, he said come back in like 30 minutes to give statements. These are some pictures from when we were giving statements.

I got it all on my dashcam, but im not going to post it as its just my kids crying and screaming that they had a gun and were shooting people. Whole neighborhood is locked down for the past few hours.

 

Guess we need them here. lol. Wow. To think that you actually have to put a sign up for something that obvious.

 

Dang man, I'm so sorry your kids had to experience that, but did you find the other kids? Is everyone ok?

I had a similar situation happen to me and my son at one of our local parks years ago and it took him a while to work through what happened that day.

 

Yep we found their friends, they were at our neighbors house with the rest of the parents. We all hung out there for a few hours since the police locked the whole area down and we could not get them back to their home.

We have parts of the story from the people who were shot (my kids friends parents were helping the victims and got some info.
Seems it was more or less a hit. The shooters ambushed them while they played basketball, the shooters were in the treeline on a hill. All victims were highschool, assuming the shooters were also highschool.

 

Damn! Hope everyone is okay. That’s definitely some scary stuff. Please keep us posted (just saw this, so I may be late, but I sincerely hope everyone is ok).

 

An old friend owns an auto graphics shop. He gave me enough flat black vinyl wrap to do my factory scoop…twice (in case I messed it up).

 

I did! Enjoying the work he did

 

I’ll take that as a compliment considering what I’ve put the truck through and that in live in the rust belt

I just spent a week cleaning and applying rust proofing to the undercarriage. I used the opportunity to straighten out my skid plates and get the right sized spare.

 

Looks really good for living in the Mitten. I undercoat too, but my undercarriage damn sure ain’t that clean. I blame living on gravel and dirt roads haha
