What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Stay safe and thank you for your service!

 

I did the same thing to mine today.

 

Why would you think that?

 

@LandLover here is the a link to the steps I followed. It’s a real PITA but well worth it.

Spot, Rex, Target, Smokey........ ..

 

It was a really nice day out today so I washed my girl today and then installed the new Softopper. It looks great on her.

I intended on keeping my tri-fold for everyday use and then use the Softopper for camping, exploring, and trips that require a little more cargo space than the tri-fold does.

After:


Side shot:

 

Just a wild guess, that's all.

 

Started with reinstalling the dark (er) tails
Oh, takeoffs for sale too, $40 picked up

 

Loaded it with 18 bags of mulch, two bags of manure, and one bag of potting soil. Secondtrip to pick up plants before the nurseries close on Monday.

Before. Scraggly 1970s hedges.


After. Chinese fringe flowers. And something green and yellow i can't spell.


Six pack job.

 

Nice!

 

Added ye olde compressor:



Super happy with it. Dumped 15 PSI out of the front tire, filled it back up in ... gosh it felt like under a minute. Probably two minutes in reality. The wires are a bit of a mess between the compressor and the ditch lights right now, but that's because I don't have a junction or fuse box yet. That'll be my next project. Here's another angle showing where I mounted the switch:



And my 4g rotopax, so I can safely travel to and from the grocery store knowing I won't be stranded:



Not incredibly impressed with Prinsu customer support after today, I emailed them specifically asking about mounting a 4g rotopax way back and they said "Oh no problem, just get our load panels" and ... nope, the load panels can only mount in certain locations on the rack, so if you want to also use them for mounting maxtrax, etc, you cannot use them to mount a 4g. Couple of 2g's, sure. No problem. I had to get creative to get the 4g up there, which is why the middle bar is where it is. Still love the Prinsu, and the load panels are going to make mounting the maxtrax easier, but that's literally all they helped with. Expensive upgrade just to mount two maxtrax conveniently.

 

Tried to get some shots of the sunroof open for those who've asked:



Hope those angles help. You can fully open the sunroof with the bars in almost any configuration. When right over top, the bars clear the sunroof by probably 1/8" maybe a little more.

 

Got the 20 Pro wheels installed this week when the Dealer went in to buy-back my OEM roof rack for fitment issues. Under quarantine, I got the Prinsu and Tailgate lock installed today. Won't be skiing for the rest of the season, but I'll be ready for November!

Bonus, on those 20's with the FWD SharkFin antenna, the Prinsu's 2" back rail can be installed in the normal horizontal position. So that's cool at least.

 

Looking to sell your OEM rack? If so, definitely interested.

 

I removed the tonneau cover and used the truck bed to take delivery of my son’s Yamaha Raptor 90! I always wanted an ATV as a child, but I was not fortunate enough to have one, so today was a special moment for me.

 

Sounds like a good time. I wish the weather here wasnt pure crap right now. Id love to be in the yard fonding things to do since ive run outta stuff i want to do to my truck for now

 

Lookin good

 

Mod pile is growing mold in the spare room. Hard to not fish or garden when it's 80 sms sunny.

 

Went looking for Bigfoot today. No luck.
