What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

[Dudebrodude]

I have a set of those Scotty. Works great when I tow my SxS. Have them at 2 lbs otherwise.

Do these impact off-roading at all?

Installed some Baja Designs LP4's.

-SDHQ A Pillar Ditch Light Brackets
-Baja Designs LP4's, amber backlight
-SPV A Pillar harness. Ran the harness under the cowl and in between the fender where it mounts, towards the A pillar.
-SPV running light harness
-ARP 12pt Bolts and Nuts. The plan was to lockwire the bolts, but I broke the only 1/16 bit I had.
-Used some left over Gray Techflex and Shrink tubing from a KTM wiring project
-4 way zip tie mounts and zip ties. Mounts are under the cowl.

Looks good !
Did you have to remove the antenna in order to have the light mounted?

Haven’t impacted my ride at all…

Got caught in some dark areas a week or so back -- made me realize that even with amazing headlights I could use a little more in the backroads.

I'm ready for the hate, but here goes...

Spent $80.38 on an Amazon special light bar. Mounted it with 3M VHB in case I don't like it (which by the way, seems to hold it just fine). The light output is incredible, I can only imagine what a real light bar would be like. For $80 and 1 hour of my time, I am more than satisfied. Wish the damn Aux wires had some more slack though...

Can you share a link? I’d be interested in adding something like that behind the grill.

Just be careful with the active shutters behind the grill; I feel like those will likely hit even though this is very low-profile. Oh and you'd want the straight bar, which they have plenty of.

I did, but it was only to pull the rubber cowl seal back to get to the fender bolt while installing the SDHQ bracket.

Bought some pillar wraps from the OCD Plug. Not thrilled with the overall fit and finish, which I will explain, but for the cost and ease of applying the vinyl, I’ll keep them on.

Fitment - It doesn’t quite cover the entire pillar from edge to edge. There is a small sliver of gloss showing on the outer edges of the 4 wrapped pillars.

Finish - On one pillar, the vinyl had a few smudge/rub marks that probabLay came from handling during production. Tried applying some heat to it and it won’t come out. Tried some wax as well.

I hate anything piano black, especially on an exterior of a vehicle, so overall I’m happy.

Their name is OCD plug. ironic.

I don’t know if I can live with that. You should ask for them to send you a replacement or refund.

Any cover gets hot in Texas (BakFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover)... Had an August rifle class going where the ambient air was reading 111 degrees and the crushed granite hard pack we were on was reading 130-something on the IR (I forgot or was heat damaged myself). I need to find a "vent" to cut in as I'm sure my ammo/rifles were NOT happy. They rode in the cab on the way home.

Yea, firearms and ammo is a concern for me. Will probably run some sort of radiant barrier insulation to help cut down on the heat.

Installed a new dashcam, WolfBox 900 Pro. A few more bells and whistles compared to my Fitcam but I’m digging it so far! The footage is crystal clear and carries a ton of info. Pretty slick!
