What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

Might as well post the original how to.

Yup, good info in both!

Very cool!

Would you mind sharing the part number of the illuminated cup holders? Also, how many pieces need to be removed to get the cup holders out?

Check the other link posted above from this forum in the interior sections. it's super helpful.

I also found this link that is pretty detailed on trim removal etc for this job.

Found my GJ brake light is leaking water slightly. I’m incredibly disappointed with the unit, so I ordered the evil manufacturing one. I will be listing the GJ for sale soon

My evil brake light leaks like a crazy. I have blue painters tape around it as we speak. I emailed them about it and no reply.

I’d suggest getting one that utilizes all 4 mounting spots, the evil one only uses 2.

Well that’s disappointing. Fingers crossed. If mine leaks I’ll prob just go back to stock

The problem is none of the companies making these are putting the effort to 3D scan the existing surface of the taillight area, and as a result the water proofing seal is forced to do all the work of making the contours as well. With the GJ unit, I had good luck with mine doing two rounds of tightening. After tightening it the first time around, I waited a few months for the foam to compress and settle, then I tightened it again to get it water tight. I am guessing you are going to have the same problem with the evil unit.

Try some black caulk

It does look like they should be the other way, I just can’t bring myself to make the switch.

If you're truck is on the road 100% of time, I would switch them in a heartbeat. But if you do any off-roading at all, don't do it. Every time I take mine off-road, it is a constant ticking on the bottom of the steps. If those steps were switched, some of that ticking would be going to the rocker and doors.
