WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO YOUR 3RD GEN TUNDRA TODAY?

took me 30 mins because I couldnt get my damn shift knob off. Fishing the harness down/around the headunit was easy, it just drops down and out the bottom. Everything snaps into place like stock. Oh, and I also had one of those red clips go awol on me when I was taking it off the oem charger...found it under the truck somehow. Im still keeping my ICS mount on the dash, but this will be nice at night when I dont want a bright screen blinding me.

 

Ajt designs has a nice video on removing the shifter knob, seems simple enough. I can see how it could be a pain if you dont know about the little piece to push over.

I might order that knob, their knobs are built so well, this would be a good compliment to match the radio and drive mode knobs.

 

Had swing cases in my Silverado, worth the money imo.

 

Didnt know this existed, seems like a worthy upgrade, especially when carry passengers with charging needs

 

That's what I was following out my pocket screwdriver was too big. Ended up using my spare pocket knife I found in the console.

I like the knob but am afraid it might get too hot in SoCal summers

 

U make a good point in heat. Ceramic tint would help but you never know.

 

Just got the windshield and moonroof ceramic tint done yesterday. Hope it hold back this texas summer heat!!!

 

Thats all great what you did to the truck. Blah blah blah. What's in red on the lift in the background? I'm a truck, sportscar and old school guy.

 

Yes. Welcome to rear wheel drive.

How much drilling for the swing case?

 

Have any pics?

 

What percentage did u get on both?

 

Quickest “mod” I’ve done. Quick hacksaw, and the GFC is locked

 

4 holes for the pivot bracket in the aluminum bulkhead next to the tail light.
4 holes for the latch in the FRP up by the wheelwell.
About an hour start to finish. A little tough to access the back side of the holes to install the bolt plate brackets and you have to be careful when removing the tail light.
Otherwise, pretty straight forward job.

 

Well, 2 out of 3 but only if you consider 1992 old school.

The short version:
'92 GMC Jimmy 2 door, 2WD. (Remember the Typhoon? SUV version of the Syclone pickup? Same body.)

Custom frame from the firewall on back, new floor, recessed firewall. Engine setback 8". Coil overs, C6 brakes, C6 Grand Sport wheels 19x10F and 20x12R.
I have a low mile L33 (All aluminum 5.3L truck "LS" motor) that's going to get a mild refresh and twin Wuhan whirly boys. Have most of the hardware.
Still need to settle on engine management.
And replace the LT1 style T56 that's in there for mockup with a Tremec T56 Magnum.
Rear axle is a narrowed Strange 12 bolt originally from a 4th gen. F-body.
Rear suspension is 2 link with torque arm and a watts link.

Still needs a lot of work.
I might finish it before I'm dead.

 

That’s a pretty quick install! I was assuming it was gonna be at least a 4 beer install, lol. Looks good. I might tackle this one

 

30 minutes *IS* a 4 beer install.

 

Touché!

 

I'll confirm it's a pretty quick install. I didn't time myself, but I did struggle with getting the cable to drop down the dash. I underestimated how dark my garage was, and apparently I have a big fat head. I couldn't get my head in there for a good look from the top. When I did my old eyes were so close they couldn't focus. Definitely a worthy mod.

 

The front is a 70- blue hue tint color and the top is 20. Side and rear re factory. I'll get some photo up this weekend.

 

need to finish tint! kill that heat

 

Yeah, will spread out the cost!!! Had my wife Grand cherokee windshield done couple years ago made an easy decision to always get ceramic tint. Her windshield held back that heat by alot which her doors l, you could feel that heat .

 

Ok guys, calm down with the badass-looking trucks. Keep them stock....I'm supposed to be the only one turning heads dammit!

 

Does this site need a truck of the month on their main page???

 

Yes! Other forums I've been on had a TOTM. Let's do it!

 

Topped off my coolant levels yesterday because it looked low after the engine swap.

Doesn't look topped off right now. Weird

 

Installed the @Talon2006 engine skid plate. Took me about an hour. Instructions could use improvement but otherwise I think it’s good to go. Lines up well with my Miller Cat shield.

 

New shoes. Feeling cute, might delete later.

 

Out with the "Paw-Paw steps" as my daughter calls them and in with the much better-looking (if albeit less functional) Predator drop steps.

The rail-to-body gap is wide enough in the rear to almost stick your finger in between, but it is within 1/4" on the front. There is no adjustability. Can anyone confirm theirs is the same?

 

Finally got this “premium” sound bumping. This solution plus the beatsonic amplifier add on totally transformed how the truck sounds. Highly recommend as a cheaper alternative to replacing the entire system.

1.5 boxes of secondskin 2mm sound deadening
4 hush mat speaker pads for the doors
Foam sticky tape (retaped the door panels in addition to the factory)
Foam behind stock subwoofer and foam tape around the plastic panel where it meets the outside rim of the subwoofer.
