What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

ZL1 Addons Big D billet aluminum red powdercoat tow hooks installed.

They look rad.

Same. Installed almost a year ago today in fact. Ordered mine raw / prepped and had them powder coated locally. A year, 1.5 winters, never garaged and 25k mile later ... they still look perfect.

Reel I posted to IG back then ...

Pros/cons versus builtright? Why'd you choose bulletpoint?

ive just owned bulletpoint for my previous trucks and its always been great quality. Have never used the builtright

Nice weather, so decided it was time to put some of the things that I had acquired last Christmas on the Raptor. Replaced the plastic guard on the gas tank with a steel one from RCI. Put the Carhart covers on the back seats along with the Builtright seat release. Great covers but damn it’s a PITA getting them on but if it wasn’t a PITA, they wouldn’t look as nice as they do. The final two things were a nice easy way to end the day. I put in a new quick release mount for the fire extinguisher in the back of the bed and mounted the SPV Parts Diode C1R Reverse/Turn/Brake/Running Light Kit. I actually couldn’t believe how easy the install was. So kudos to John and Sidney for another great product. That’s it for today, debating if I want to tackle installing the OnX6 Hybrid light bars behind the grill or just drive the Raptor around and enjoy the good weather.

Looks like the one I bought from R1 Industries to use on my SXS. Thing went way up in price though, I paid $30 for it 3 years ago.

Technically the wheels went on Monday but new boot goofin'! In the sea of Raptors with black wheels I wanted to go a slightly different route with mine.

This is the one I'm using (for MOLLE panel) ... $55 at Amazon, similar quick release design
and has worked great so far. (well made, all metal, quick release, etc).

Thanks for the recommendation. I just ordered the same one.

Which extinguisher is that? Does it fit well and will it fit under a bed cover?

Right now I just have an element inside the cab, but would like to add a traditional one in the bed for longer runs.

Fire extinguisher is nothing fancy ... just a Kidde Marine and Auto unit. (like this one from HD) There's also this similar "car and truck" version from Amazon, which has the same Type BC ratings and is the same size ... so I don't know what makes the one I have "marine" and the other just car and truck. The one I have is US Coast Guard approved and meets DOT requirements, while the Amazon version is just listed as DOT approved, for what that's worth.

As for fitting in the bed under a tonneau ... yes, it'll fit. I had mine mounted on a BuiltRight bed-side MOLLE panel before moving it to the SmartCap storage bin. On the bedside panel it was just above bed level (not resting on it) but still below the bed side (i.e., below where a bed cover would sit when closed).
