What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

You’ve got me thinking (and hoping) someone must make a mod to tilt the mirrors down when in reverse. I miss that function.

 

I remember driving a gmc that did this and you could choose both or just passenger side. I think it was an '05 envoy.

 

It looks like you might need a RAM mount soon.

 

I remember having a radar detector when I was like 17. Now I drive pretty slow so def not needed

 

Where did you find that trd slide cover

 

Tried to stalk your TW profile ...i failed. Do you have any night pics of the lighting output from drivers seat. I'm considering gettting similar amber bumper light & fogs. gotta prep this Taco for night runs & rain

 

Extinguisher mount behind rear seat...

 

Tinted front two windows to match the stock rear windows and peeled off TRD Stickers. Needs a wash now!

 

you're welcome! i agree 100%

 

Got my Spotter mirrors installed this morn. Not really "buyers remorse," but the Suma Performance got back in stock. And I really had wanted those. @ClassyTacos posted them on his YouTube channel

But honestly, I like the Spotter Mirrors. Hardest part is removing the old glass.




And I got some new speakers. Project for next weekend off. Family obligations got in way this afternoon.

 

It’s funny but I also don’t speed. I use it now for warnings of emergency vehicles approaching. Lol.

 

nice...ordering today!!

 

ahhh to get old lol

 

You won’t be disappointed. One of the most useful mods I’ve done

 

Good stuff man!

 

Pretty good video on the differences here

I can try to snap a few pics tonight. I have quite a bit of lighting up front so the night turns into day for sure. There is a 30” OnX6 hi power behind the grille as well which alone is pretty damn bright.

 

Installed a set of SokieTech hood struts. No drilling or riveting required!

 

Found a set of front shock assembly’s from a sr5 on CL for sale. About 15k miles on them. What are they going for. I acquired about them and he came back at me and said make an offer.... he wants 175 for front and rear.... even at that I think it’s cheap but it’s been on awhile.... any thoughts? They are loaded take offs BTW

 

Finally installed my cali raised rock sliders. I have Shrockworks sliders on my other RIG. I have to say that the cali raised are.over.built by comparison. And that suits me just fine, I like over kill when it comes to protection for the truck. The instructional video is decent, but I prefer the written instructions on the wedn site. Especially because they give you a parts list to go off of. It's always good to make sure you're stuff comes with all the needed hardware.
I painted these myself and I'm happy with the outcome. Fluid filmed the sliders and hardware when I finished except the part my leg may rub on when getting in and out of the truck. Ohio is salty.
There was ZERO farting around with stuff not fitting correctly, not being level or even from one airlde to the other. I just bolted them up. I have to say, itmwould have gone waaaaaaaaay faster had I gotten some help. But jack stands and two floor jacks helped. Still, I say ask for a bud to help if you do these by yourself. Especially when getting the inside the frame rail nuts and bolts lined up. I also put the frame caps back on, just cut some small slits in them to accommodate the frame nut handles. I though about cutting the handles off, but figured down the road I may want them there.
