What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Bought the SDHQ battery tie down when I switched mine a few weeks ago.

 

Okay, thanks for the details @OldSchlPunk and @MGMDesertTaco. Much appreciated!

I do have the OTT and apparently I can have the tuner add a bump up in alternator charging.

 

Thanks, looks like an option.

 

I'm gonna need to do all this myself soon too. Winch bumper and tons of lighting, other mods, etc. Sooo much to do. Its endless. Ugh. Ha

 

And this is a bad thing ... why?

 

Ha ha……

 

Ha was joking, mostly. Not a bad thing, just hard to find time to do it all. And find the motivation to do it. The only thing that sucks, is the lead times for some of the products. 6-8 weeks for fender liners. 4-6 weeks for other things. At best, 3-4 weeks for some.. Just finished a 9 day vacation and had planned on doing some mods but nothing worked out due to waiting on parts still. I did order ahead of time, somewhat. But had optimistic hopes something would arrive early. All good tho. She'll get there in due time.

 

Yes but depending on a few factors- running or clumping (running is where everyone gets there fear of bamboo), clumping stays within a clump but some species have huge diameters (kinda like trees in that aspect I guess but most bamboo roots stay around 18-24” deep which is a benefit imo) and others are more confined. These are used for narrow spaces and is a tight clumper- shoots grow real close together. So it can get pretty thick if you don’t trim out the old/dead. I made the mistake of a heavy prune minus the corner clump late fall, then the cold snap took a bunch of shoots per clump making even thinner and a dry spring meant late shoots popping up. They are just now sending new shoots up except that bare void. I’ll change my routine to 1 thinning a yr of dead in early spring only.

There’s only 1 void here. Are you talking about the shoots that are hanging down? We just had a rain and it does weight down individual shoots, sometimes it bounces back but these haven’t (the clump is too thinned out and not full enough which helps support each other). I plan on driving metal posts on the outer ends and tie a rope to help support the weight especially when it rains but they do call this graceful bamboo, I just want to keep it from hanging on the grass

 

Appreciate that, it’s great that it’s only a tiny strip. This photo is when it’s just starting to bounce back from the last mow- I cut it lower (not quite a scalp) and had a bunch of brown stem spots throughout. I have the lawn sprayed/treated monthly so I don’t worry about any of that just the manicure.

 

So I should trim bushes when? Asking for a friend. (Bushes in general) I couldn’t name one in my yard

 

My DIY installed bed outlet (12v cig plug and USB charging hub) met a corrosion demise. Learned my lesson on skimping on wire when living in the rust belt. Especially on stuff at the back of the truck. Figured this out when going to put my fridge back in the bed for the season.

Ran a new 8ga marine wire direct from the battery (through a relay controlled by my switch panel so I can turn it on and off through the switch panel) into a nema box I found on Amazon that perfectly fit into the existing bed cubby (link for anyone that also wants the same). Nema box is where any terminations will happen for anything getting power at the rear. Bed outlets, bed usb ports, and power for my relay that controls the rear bumper pod lights. Hopefully we should be good on corrosion moving forward. Buttoned it all up, everything working beautifully just to find out now my fridge died, nice....They're supposedly sending me a new one though so hopefully it all works out, love to see it though.




Also some fancy stickers on my MRR resis I had custom printed up, couldn't find any Arizona cans that would fit on the those resis.

 

Added a AJT cup holder and Meso shifter chrome delete this morning. Small but last of inside chrome that caught my eye.

 

Took a chance on one of the Dasaita head units (I know... I know.... Chi-nuh)

So far so good, install was a PITA, still getting all the settings right but the main stuff works. Looks great too. Just have to paint the chrome rings and volume knob.

 

First time I've seen this one. Actually, looks like a pretty cool unit and I love that it has a volume knob.

 

Nice, I can't wait to get mine all hooked up, At least the camera is hard mounted if that counts for anything...

 

I went back and forth on getting it for awhile, out of all of the ones I looked into, this one had all the features I wanted (volume knob, works with JBL, keeps steering wheel controls, keeps back up camera, etc.)

 

Conti is my go to. A friend of mine who was also my Subaru tuner, at the time, campaigned the fastest Time Attack Subaru in the country. (Mike Warfield and The GST Motorsports "L") He turned me on to Conti Extreme DWS tires and I never looked back. So darn good. Man, the L was a monster...725 Whp at 38lbs of boost.

And pics cuz we like pics on the internet...

 

That is a fine fire arm right there. Put over 500 rounds through one at, Front Site, NV., over a training weekend. One stove pipe. Zero issues. Very sore fingers and hands come Sunday afternoon...

 

I bought this like 9 months ago and never installed - how long did it take you? I've been very lazy!

 

Yes, I was posting about the shoots hanging down. I have a secluded spot now but I wish I'd have known about that at my last house.
