What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

How come you just didn't ask?
No such thing as a stupid question....... seen a few stupid answers though especially from those making fun of a person trying to learn something.

Nice! (nice video too).
After a little more than a year I'm still thrilled with mine. It has been used more than I would have thought originally.

 

I try not to over use the term "Pardon my ignorance".

 

I love mine and they are more than 2 years old. They’ve held up great

 

A forehead tattoo goes a long way to prevent the need to say it!

 

Thanks!

 

Kings for the Taco
Got my week planned out

 

This took me a few days, happy with how it al turned out.

I spent a few days making some pull out drawers. I basically followed this video https://youtu.be/d-BWmPaBfjQ for concept and how to build the locking mechanism. The locking T-handles came from the local Leer truck cap dealer King City Trailers, the pull handles were from Lowes as well as the misc parts to make the locking mechanism. I made two separate drawers so I can use one, or both, or stack them etc, for now. Things may evolve, but so far I am really happy with the results. I'm adding a system to allow for dividers as well if the need arises. I'll be anchoring them to the bed tie-downs, and they fit nice and snug to the end of the bed with the tailgate closed.

I used 1/4" HDPE to make the slides and waxed the drawer bottom, and also put HDPE strips under the units to allow for water drainage and minimal wood to water contact when it rains. Rough carpentry at it's best. Here's a few pics of the project and final results.

 

im jelly, kings look so bad ass.

 

I love the second to last picture of the road going up that big hill. Seeing hills like that always makes me wonder what's on the other side. Awesome Pic.

 

Only took 3 month to get
They were on back order cause of the Covid-19

 

Used Plasti Dip to seal my tailgate support cables from water intrusion.

 

Man, that is a great way to spend time with the family!

But....I really want to have a go at that hill!

 

Took it camping this past weekend.

 

I want to build my own camera interface wire harness since anytimebackupcamera.com seems to be sold out all the time. Did someone post a link to order the adapters directly from a supplier?

 

Installed the scoop, the rack, the steps and the full CBI skids come in next
Month!

 

What a great day!
