What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks man. I’d be doing mostly local trips and I live in the flattest state in the country so I’m thinking I’ll be fine then. How’s your gas mileage while towing that thing?

 

What the hell is that thing? I like it, but can't decide if it's for kids or wash the doggie or adult meditation.

 

My dad had one like that. That summer was the highpoint of his life. Unfortunately it was downhill from there.

 

Pool ... for people to sit in and relax.. I have seen something like this in the past which they filled water with some kind of liner in bed. Somewhere in 90's.

Some recent years, they use the truck bed as cooler.. which they filled up with ice and put drinks in it.

 

Cool, much better than a hot tub in a limo... Can you cruise around with water & a couple back there? Maybe need some awesome shocks. If you were around here, I'd want to try it out.

 

I am not in hawaii, I wish I live there. I heard Hawaii is great.

About cruising around with people in it: nope, not on public roads. You can not drive around with water in it but it depends on the law in your state or country. You can park it in parking lot, campgrounds, backyard at your home, or off road parks, something like that.

If cops see truck with water in bed on public road, can pull it over and possibly give a ticket to the driver.

I don't do that on my truck because I have a topper. I have tools in it for carpentry jobs.

 

Lifted the truck

 

Said goodbye to her. Got a hell of a deal on a Colorado ZR2. Thanks covid for the deal, geico for the total, and mama deer for getting it all started. Going to keep a passing eye on this forum. You guys are brilliant and full of good ideas. Time to list the mods for sale. Join me in paying last respects.

 

That doesn’t make sense to me… something else Has to have been at play. Is your listed truck 2013 (miles?)? More likely it was going to go out with or without the spacers.

At least you cleaned it, ive been swamped with house projects and the truck has been grossly neglected. Honestly I can’t wait until I get the front yard done so I can refocus on the truck for a bit.

 

When did you have the accident? I didn’t see you post anything about hitting a deer. Where’s the photos of the damage?

 

Tell us more on the deal.
Just got an offer myself, no payments until 2021 if I purchase a new car. Minimum 35K
Now is the perfect time to buy

 

Another outstanding install on my favorite rig. Let us know how many amp/hour you get on average. I almost thought that was a Nikon Head Unit in that yellow box...lol.

2.5 rear 3” front on 285/70/17

had no rubbing before I put spacers on
After spacers had to trim and cmc

 

Did you pull the sliders before giving it up? Who made them? I've been looking for some sliders, but don't want to wait months on a lead time.

 

What lift and tires do you have ?

 

Do y’all think this would look badass. Thinking about getting it to go camping?

 

Bilstein 5100 all around with ome 887 coils. In the rear I got headstrong progressive aal. For the tires I have 265/70r17 falken wildpeaks

 

@LSUfan1975 I'll post a link for ya.

@CXYyuppie Here ya go. I missed it too. Didn't know about it until yesterday.

Tested the airbags. They passed.

 

Is anyone currently accepting orders for retrofits?

 

Found a free toolbox on craigslist. Was in decent shape but really dirty and a bit beat up. Cleaned it up, removed some rust and went about figuring out a way to mount it to the bed. Looks like the standard install is though the top of the bed rails. I know there are holes under the factory plastic but I did not want to cut into it. This tool box is temporary until I find a used canopy.

Google tells me superstrut nuts will fit in the bed rails. I didn't realize at the store, but the 3/8" nuts are a bit smaller than the 1/4" nuts.

The 1/4" nuts almost fit, but not right. Stock on left, after I cut it down on the right:



Used an angle grinder to shorten the nuts a bit.



After that I used this bracket to attach a bolt vertically.





I was planning on cutting the bolt going to the nut on the bed rail down, but I got distracted and didn't get to that today. All in all this was a very cheap way to mount something to the stock bed rail with parts you can buy at the hardware store. I love it.

I think the 3/8" nuts might fit without cutting. Odd they are shorter than the 1/4".
