What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Here's how I did them:

37.75”x18.25”x14” Bought 5 of them while they were on sale at Home Depot for $15 each. I also bought some weatherstripping for a couple of dollars and stripped the lids on a couple of them. They are pretty much waterproof and fit great in the bed and on the roof rack.

 

Any pictures of the weatherstripping on the lids? I still can’t believe that deal that you found.

 

I made them myself out of some flat iron I had laying around. Cut to size, drilled a couple of holes and bought a pair of Quickfists. It works great.

 

Thanks! Install is super easy with these, just push down on the shift boot to detach it from the oem knob, unscrew the oem one, screw on the new knob and center it, then tighten it with the adjustment screw that's included if need be, then snap the shift boot back up into place on the new shift knob and your done.

The trim ring is the still original chrome one, but I had some "carbon fiber" style trim tape laying around from Auto Zone. I just cut a piece to fit, cleaned the chrome ring with rubbing alcohol and applied it. Hope that helps...

 

Thanks for the close ups!

 

Thanks! Where did you get all your parts?

 

Installed a Expedition Essentials track mount and replaced the 12V cigarette lighter socket with a double USB/volt meter plug in.
All while my 3 year old twins napped lol.

 

ah ok, thanks. I have a aftermarket one on there now and it does not use the trim ring. Looks good with you wrapping it. Maybe I will just paint mine........

 

T-nuts and quik fists from Amazon. Nuts, bolts, washers and metal stock from local hardware store.

 

BTW, these are awesome T-nuts because they fit perfectly in the bedrail "notches".

Installed the Spiker hood struts.

 

There's also a book. Strikes straight to the heart for me being a forester who was sometimes involved in them

 

Just ordered mine and they just sent me an email saying it shipped. Awesome customer service!!

 

Very cool item arrived today!



Couple of "to-do" things still needed :
1) color-matched powder-coating
2) Black Friday sale on a Smittybilt 10k winch

 

Installed a Pop & Lock on both my tailgate, and another one for my Leer truck cap.

 

Go figure. My 2020 Offroad speakers have a different plug than other or previous models. I ordered the Kicker Tweeters and they aren't compatible because the plug is different

 

Maybe I’m old school, but can’t you just connect the two wires. And not use the plug.

 

I have probably but if its got a plug im keeping it that way. Not enough wire on either to mess with
