What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looks good. Which ones you get? I just ordered a pair of the max. Overkill I'm sure but temptation kicked in

 

All in a day I put on new wheels/tires and added an ARE camper shell.

 

Put fog lights in the SR today. Not 100% sure they are aimed properly.

 

Snow

 

Not enough to be worth mentioning

 

We got a dusting down here in burnsville this morning.

 

wet sloppy stuff causing accidents up here.

 

Poor drivers on dry roads causing accidents down here Cant wait for the slew of crashes first real snowfall we get.

 

The good ol’ PK, ha ha. All my SF buddies called them meatlockers. I never had the ‘privilege’ of riding in one and for that, I’m grateful. ART Team K5 Blazers were pretty rad though. Ford F250 crewcabs w/ Reading boxes like this were standard for me.

Funny you mention rollovers too because for about a year and DIRECTLY attributed to SF rolling PKs, our wing commander made it policy that ONLY Team Chiefs could drive. I’d be out on a site busting my ass all day after leaving base and driving for 2 hours in blizzard conditions at 0600 with everybody snoring on the way out only to drive home in those same conditions at 2000 hrs while my crew & SET team snored all the way home. I’m sure you can appreciate how difficult it is to stay awake to drive in a warm truck after busting your ass for 14 hours in -30° ambient while 3-4 guys are sacked out in the cab with you. I wised up after a few trips and said ‘If you all are gonna sleep while I have to drive, my window is coming all the way down and Slayer is getting pegged at level 20 on the stereo.’

 

Completely understand, brother! Not a lot of function gained for $250, that’s for sure.

 

Bought some more parts for a truck that isn't even here yet - don't tell the wife

OEM TRD Pro tails
Spotter Mirrors (Back in stock)
A/C Drain relocation mod from @Vorra65

Currently researching sound deadening for the OEM Audio+ setup that is on order. Never done it before but it looks easy enough. Going to start with the doors and behind the back seats. May do the floors and headliner down the road.

Last thing missing for my faux-Pro is the black TRD wheels. Is there any difference between the actual TRD Pro wheels and the SEMA ones? I see both referenced but unsure the difference

 

Threw on some Alpharex Jet Black tail lights.

 

TRD Pro wheels are 16” and the SEMA ones are 17”.

 

Easy enough. Thanks

 

The homer

 

still looks safer than a Peacekeeper. Lmao

 

Finally got caught up after 40 pages or so.

 

Did you also get the front runner rack system? I got mine and put the rack on it. Nice to have. Just cannot go thru auto car wash places.

 

Picked up the wheels from powder, did a ceramic coat last night. Sneak peak at the color.

 

Can't wait to see them mounted.
