What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Fixed some trail damage yesterday.... replaced broken tpm’s and reprogrammed.... truck is back in action

 

It really wouldn't surprise me if they were out there somewhere.

 

Clever!

 

I installed the Garmin Mini camera for front view last weekend. Has anyone used the same camera for back view?

 

Done last week.. Mobtown skids and sliders installed.

 

Indeed.

 

That grill!! Who makes that??

 

Looks to be BAMF

 

Well of course not after you put a mud terrain on your wheelbarrow!

 

@JLee from BAMF makes them

 

For future reference how did you recalibrate them?
Haven't looked but assume it's covered in the owners manual and that no special device is needed.

 

If you’re using the same “chalk bag” as me:

You take the two back straps and unbutton them. I then folded the straps to double the thickness. I stopped the fold right where the strap goes from double layer to single layer. So when you fold it, you have a section of 4 layer and then it goes to single layer. I taped each of the two straps to hold the fold and then stuck those in the center divider. They’re much thicker than the single layer portion so they act as a backstop. You want the single layer the be the part that lays on the track of center divider with the thick section inside the divider. Hope that makes sense.

 

On a Friday in leap year at 21:00 hours, while standing on your head with one sock on your left foot and while singing the cowboy song! What......., what???????

Just kidding!

 

Autel TS508 TPMS Tool... It reads and writes "OEM" TPM's and if you dont want to purchase the expensive "OEM" sensors, the tool can clone/copy or generate OEM numbers onto AUTEL MX-TPMS sensors ($20-$30 / sensor on Amazon) that can be read and rewritten to the computer... Takes less than 5min and now I can fix trail damage... and more importantly... assign a TPMS to the spare and the truck will recognize the 5th tire once rotated and relearned with the tool

Edit: Forgot to answer... It is NOT covered in the manual.... Even if you bought TPMS from the dealer and installed yourself... the truck needs to "learn" the new sensor ID (7 digits)... Meaning you'll always need programming... Same goes for spare tire... Turd Gens only have 4 memory slots... no room for a spare tire tpms... causing headaches for people like me that rotate 5 tires not 4

 

I've been to a rodeo before (admittedly, just once, it was okay, just not my thing), and I'm trying to picture this...

So, in the ring, there's a fat, sweaty guy sitting in a party-barge from the now past, presumably a convertible, and there are chairs arranged around this spectacle, and some bimbo occupying one of those chairs was so inspired by this experience she took her clothes off.



Yep, one rodeo was enough. At least I can say in all honesty "Not my first rodeo."

 

Alcohol was involved, im sure! Great story tho!

 

Excellent info and explanation, couldn't ask for more. I'm sure there are others that will appreciate this as well.
Thank you!

 

Haha yeah, I’m confused reading my own message. Poor guy isn’t gonna have a chance

 

Glad that was taken with the spirit that was intended.

 

That's pretty much the gist of it!
I gave the rodeo about a 7, Elvis about the same, the bimbo got a solid
