What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[the great him]

changed the oil... looked at places to mount the remote oil filters... flushed the diffs, replaced the air filter, readjusted/ tightened the front bumper, got an alignment and took my wheel spacers off. good day, but too much friggin wind

Yeah, sucks being sponsored and doing something I love... too bad im too old for it... and I guess since I don't have neighbors y'all can pound sand for all I care...lol Did you know that hearing damage occurs at the frequency that is at a damaging level and not across the bandwidth of human hearing? Apparently not... This means that my truck doesn't seem as loud to me as it actually is if I have hearing loss in the bandwidth that my stereo is tuned to... Everything outside of that bandwidth is as loud to me as it is to everyone else. Most people in national or world level car audio competition are actually older than I am... This just shows me how little you guys actually know about car audio, and how little respect you have for others who enjoy things you don't. Y'all are the ones who need to grow up. No worries, I won't be doing any CNC work for you guys now. Back to the car audio forums I go... no loss on my end...

Like I've always said, "If it's too loud you're too old"!

Stored the bike and made room for her in the garage.

I really wish I had a garage. I work 4pm to midnight & I'd tinker with her every night when I got home.

I brought in my original Split 3 wheels to be blasted & powder coated.

 

[hour]

Gave it, and myself, a pat on the back. 9*F when I left work a little over an hour ago, icy roads covered in about an inch of snow. People were sliding all over the place, but I just cruised along with complete control, awesome visibility thanks to the lighting upgrades, and practically instant warmth compared to my diesel ram.

And last night bought a ton of odds and ends for it, finally addressing speakers all the way around since they've been buzzy since I got her a year ago, additional cross bars to go on top of the roof cargo carrier for more capacity, an ATV storage bin for up top that should fit perfectly, and a flat panel articulating mount of all things. Going to remount my solar panel on it for maximum aimability :laugh:

Both proved I can take craptastic pics at night and got new shoes:

BFG All Terrain T/A KO2, I've only had them a couple of days so no opinion formed yet.

Nice, those are the new ones they released a couple of months ago right? Can't assume you'll be let down with how popular/long running the original was. What size?

They are. The 96 is still my kid hauler/grocery getter/every day everythinger. I'm hoping for good utility from them with decent on-road manners since that's where they'll mostly be. They've got a better traction rating then the a/ts, I believe.

What bump stops did you go with. I've got to replace mine.

They are Energy Universal bump stops.

This just came in the mail:

And I put this in earlier this week to get rid of the cassette tape deck:

 

[the great him]

swapped my thermostat out to the stock OE. keeping the trd 160* one for warmer weather... today with a high of 35* i was struggling to get above 170*, and typically running low 160s if i had the heater on.

 

[samwalters]

finally got a new profile. Need some Arizona state members to go wheeling with before I lose my mind in the city

Man once I find a job I'll be wheeling more. I've gone a few times with some tw guys! There's a few of us AZ runners around there.

Found some calipers from a 2005 tundra for a future TBU. Also grabbed the tundra horns but they don't work once installed. they are 12v 4.5amp, vs the T4R 12v 3.0amp. does that make a difference?

That's good info. I was thinking of replacing mine soon with a TRD. I guess I'll hold off. I need to flush the "coolant" in my pickup... I think it's running water

Brought it into the shop. It has a vibration in 4th gear @ 60mph & a vibration in 5th gear @ 70mph. It starts around 2800 rpm. The first three gears are fine.

Did my good deed for the day, pulled free a gmc sierra that was high centered on a center divider unfortunately no pics as there was traffic both ways, 4lo works very well :drum:

 

[Quadsbc]

Just finished mounting a 20" avec light bar

 

[shamading]

I was thinking the same thing, but nice to put things in the rear without rearranging everything when we go shopping or just putting large in the area.

Agreed.

Im thinking about pulling my 10" in a large box and trying to fit this Pioneer 10" Flat down firing Subwoofer behind the drivers seat so I can have my whole cargo area back.

Fixed my squeaky clutch! Swapped The Bushing Destructor Spring for a 2nd gen clutch return spring, and lubed up the links off the slave cylinder. Spent the next minutes pumping the pedal with a dumb grin on my face.

Silence!

 

[tip]

Finally sold and removed my damn brush guard... now to save for ARB or Allpro bumper

Also got my new plates on.
