What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

Changed my oil for the first time since installing a Fumoto drain valve. I HIGHLY recommend it for anyone who changes their own oil. Not a drop of oil spilled and made process quick and painless

Do you have a pic of the full side view you could share? Looks really sharp!!

I was debating getting the T-track rails on the Bak revolver or getting the Putco Tec rails. Ultimately went with the Putco since it was more secure. I like how it turned out and everything mounted nice and flush.

I’m missing a bag of hardware on the cross bars and was not able to install the rear. These are the 16” cross bars and it looks to sit about 1-2” below the cab. I’ll get some measurements later.

Icon UCAs, SVC tie rod ends, night and day improvement. Very happy.

Night and day improvement in road manners and drivability, or just looks/quality?

The front of the car was a little loose after the Einach's; now it's firm, the front points well when I turn, and the balance is much better. Drives responsive and sharp. Looks is the plus that you get.

Can you help us better understand how those items cause such an effect? What I mean is, what geometry or mechanical advantage or change is created? Is the “night and day improvement” based on a before and after comparison with the aftermarket springs or as compared to the factory engineered components?

You shouldn't notice a "differnce" at all....except how it looks. None of the componets @TOMRAP mentioned add any mechanical advantage except looks. They might add strength if anything, but even the tie rods are just 1/2 tie rod ends. The wink link is still the inner tie rod. The UCA's probably add some strength if anything. The geometry is the same.
