What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Not bad. 5 miles away. I know where that is. I am at the Havana Lowe's a lot since my new place.

Haha I picked up my gf's online ordered lawn mower there on the way home from work last week. Some sketchy folk wandering in and out :\

And yea slap, dunzo with the 5 pts. Neighborhood of Aurora house seems pretty quiet and certainly less airplane bottles and heroin needles. Actually, was pristine the three times I've been there. Nothing on the streets.

Picked up 3290432 blunt wrap wrappers, two needles, and a ton of wet wipes (god I hope they were armorall dash wipes), chip bags, cigarette packs, etc. before mowing today. Eager to leave one of Denver's many buttholes.
 
Good luck on your new house Hour, may it be better than the paper weight in your driveway. However, it seems as if the VM engine trucks are arriving at the service center for more than an oil change:

A good friend of mine has a 2010 Ram with the 5.7, good on gas and plenty of power to boot. But it is no diesel for sure. Maybe the new Titan then?

Keep us in the loop with updates.
 
Not my runner but I helped my friend take the running boards off and plasti the rims on his 01. There was a mob of 3rd gens here :dance:

Installed a set of Cree 18w 4" spot leds on the bumper. She is finally finished! $40 shipped on eBay for the pair and wiring harness with relay and switch. When installing found some bad wiring at the fire wall for the auto door locking and the oem foglight wiring which I could have used. So install took longer to repair those wires. They are way brighter than I thought they would be.

Finished installing my brake controller and took a few pics because it looked good in the sun.





Nice. I'm about to install one in the wife's Expedition for the 26" camper with pop out. What you pulling with the 4runner?

Some fleas pics for fun.

Finished some body work.

Clipped a concrete pillar while mall crawling. Got off lucky, could have been more damage. Caved the fender in around an inch

Local shop wanted $3000 to fix it because they insisted on repainting the entire quarter panel, door, et cetera, to "maintain their image." Which is stupid because I'm about to put on SR5 flares which basically cover the damaged spots anyway. So I did it myself.

Hammered out what I could, but the inner fender and body panel diverge just aft of the damage. So I rebuilt the rest using a fiberglass reinforced body filler. Pretty happy with the outcome.

The flaws that remain will be mostly covered by the new flares, so my only real concern was rust protection, and I think that's well sorted. Here's hoping there are no cracks later!

SR5 flares go on next, soon as I get them repainted and get the flare gaskets ordered.
