What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

[G2G3Iconic]

Added husky liners today! Did it pretty quick.

Tip: use some plastic trim tools. Place it in there between the flare and metal and you can ALMOST slide it the whole way with just one hand - two hands definitely work best. View attachment 406308

Tip #2 you dont have to fully remove the fender flair screws. Just loosen them a bit so you can then slide the liner under the flair. Saves quite a bit of time and lost hardware. The liner is a snug fit and not screwed in by the fender screws, only by friction from tightening the fender back in place.

Husky Wheel Liners installed.

I read a few posts before I ordered them about them taking hours to install, needing to heat them up in the sun, etc. It took about 5 minutes per side which included cleaning the wheel wells. Maybe they changed something in the mold to make the install easier (feb 2023 build date stamped on the liners), but it couldn't have gone smoother. Fit and finish seems perfect.

Do the wheel liners make a significant difference in road noise?

no, at least not that ive noticed, but they sure make clean up a lot easier. i installed mine without the trim tool, massive PITA. highly recommend anyone interested in these buys the tool.

Added a few decals today.



- I cut the DS FP decal so that the flag mirrored the passenger side.

Road noise? Not when you drive with exhaust in Baja mode ALL THE TIME lol

All kidding aside, if there is any road noise, I can’t hear it over my big ass smile whenever I’m driving.

Another successful 37” K02 spare install with plenty of room to spare. Thanks to the 35 to 37” pioneers.

I was able to pickup an unused K02 off marketplace for $280.

First oil change for the 2023 and first time using Ford mobile service. I must have been living under a rock all this time.

It’s one of my missions in life to spend the least amount of time possible at a car dealership. Sitting on my couch for 20 minutes is much better than waiting around a dealership for over an hour.

We just bought a Lincoln and the dealer said they'd service it here at the house and extend the offer to our Raptor and Mustang too. I wonder if this is that. If they meant they're gonna come get it and drive it there and back - then that's not happening. I gotta look into this mobile service and see if it's offered around here. We have the Ford ESP (through Ziegler) as well as the Maintenance Plan...

I figured this out after not being able to get two of the eight back in. I have the two, just haven't had the time to yank it out, toss the screws back in, and then reinstall. Yeah, definitely don't need to take them out. Wish the instructions would have said that, or that I took more time reading the forum before installing the first one. Second one went in perfectly and all remained in the truck, just simply loosened.
