What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

My son and I installed the Mobtown Offroad IFS skid. Removing the existing skid and hardware, and installing the new skid took less than 25 minutes.











I had the front 5100's adjusted yesterday (one perch)...and got another alignment! I received a few comments on another thread about the front sitting nose high. I thought the front was just a bit high, but the few comments affirmed my thoughts.

is that the steel skid? looks nice

 

Yes, all 65 lbs. Let's say I'm glad I have a teenage son who can help me muster strength when it comes to awkward angles/positions.

 

Nice truck and great color choice.

 

Put some tires on it.

 

What kind?

 

Cooper ST Max 265/75/16

Zero rubbing and looks excellent in person.

 

Those look nice, very nice. Have you noticed much of a ride difference going up to an E load range? Thanks.

 

Given I've only driven it home from getting them installed. No real noticeable difference. No noticeable power loss, no effect on ride quality. Super quiet. Its a pro though and the softer suspension may have something to do with the feel but so far its excellent.

 

Thanks. I have an OR with a softer suspension as well and am shopping tires like crazy. I only have 3,000 miles on mine but want a more aggressive tire and have stayed away from the E rated tires. If you have any more thoughts on the tires later an update would be appreciated.

 

Contact Vin and put yourself on his list! Well worth it amazing wheels! Oh and pictures you know for the thread...

 

I tested out the new lenses last night. Though it wasn't fully dark, I could see a difference. I would suggest the cornering lenses, though the lenses you choose should depend on your goal and what other lighting you will also have. The lenses are easily swappable and aren't that expensive, so perhaps get both? Hope that helps!

 

That was actually in my plans as well is to get both but I appreciate your feedback for sure. May end out switching that on my build. Thank You!

 

I would try a homeowners or renters insurance claim.

 

You can ask, but will likely be considered part of the car. Plus, there is that deductible issue.

 

Cleaned my rig after 3 weeks of neglect. Go figure it's the day I'm going on a road trip...serious OCD about having a clean vehicle to start out with when I start any trip...I want to look and feel spiffy and not feel lIke I'm not driving a hooptie that just pulled an armed robbery.

Napa Valley/Sonoma malls here I come!

 

Started to install my allpro offroad front bumper yesterday. Ran into a couple issues but got them figured out pretty quick. Will finish wrapping it up today when I get off work

 

Thank you, I don't even need my stretching exercises today...my neck already has.

 

Looking beauitful! Did you have to install resistors for the tail/brake, reverse LEDs?
