What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

Do you have a side profile pic of the truck? I'm thinking about buying these wheels.

Not the best photos but here’s all I have for now

It’s my birthday so I’m treating myself to some new shoes.

Was over the course of a couple weeks, though I finally installed all the lighting I have at this point in time, swapped to a '21 temp unit with the display, and still fighting with the dealer for proper hardware to install the damn bed extender. I think that's it so far.



My part number just in case for the '21 Temp Cluster. Simple plug and play, programmed my stock HVAC values into it with FORSCAN and never looked back.

Added some Front Runner load bars (26lbs) to my 2023 for my IKamper Mini 3 RTT when needed. This set up does require drilling holes. These bars measure 8" above the bed allowing nice space for lightweight bins of gear if needed. This keeps the RTT below the cab and is at the very minimum height for adding a lightweight awning to sit under. Plus I kinda like the way they look.

I learned a lot trying to overland my last Gen 2 truck. I added so much damn weight I had to swap out my rear leafs with +4 deavers which did the trick but really stiffened up the truck. I added all sorts of trash that I never used LOL. I did Stupid heavy Decked System, ADD overland rack, Roofnest Condor Overland RTT and absurd 20 gallon, 12 gallon water systems...Like who needs 20 gallons/150 lbs of water when you drive by a gas station once every 3- days?

This new 2023 truck is a compilation of everything I learned not to do to a Raptor. Keep it clean and be obsessive over minimizing weight. Im on the road about two months of the year to mostly desert areas in the SW so Im all about a Roof top tent. These 26lbs load bars can easily be shifted and be removed when not needed. BTW, theres only one Hard Top, light weight Rooftop tent I would recommend for a Raptor, the 120lb IKamper Mini 2 or 3. Ive tried multiple tents over the years and this one is my favorite, pricy but worth it..comfortably fits two, made in South Korea and not China. Im headed out for two weeks in early April so I should have a good idea about how they hold up. Ive had good luck with Front Runner for the most part so Im not too worried.

I have the front runner bars and just got an ikamper 2.0 on Friday. Glad to hear you've got some experience and suggest exactly what I got considering its my first RTT!

Who did the programming?
I’d like to do this but local dealers are a PiTA so I avoid at all costs.

Installed the Baja Design behind the grill Squadron Pros LED. Not that hard if you follow steps and have necessary tools.

Also relocated the OEM horn while the grill was off. Vehicle theft are insane where I live and they tend to cut horn from grill before entering.

I did. It's simple as a few mouse clicks. Using FORSCAN, back up your factory configuration. Replace module. Load you factory configuration into/overwrite that one. Done.
