What did you do to your Gen3 today?

[Jerseystyle]

Before and after comparison with the most similar pics I could find.



Now I just need to get the front bumper and grill painted to match the rest of the truck. The black front end is OK but I want them red with the grill cross-hairs black. I'll either vinyl wrap the roof a matte black or have that painted, as well as re-doing the door pillars between the windows. Hood is also going to be swapped out eventually for a cowl hood and I'm thinking of having the cowl on that done in a matte black too.

Looks great!

Is the black bumper an grill the black that they send it to you like or did you paint them?

Don't see any in blue, no. They have red, grey, black, white and chrome from what I saw. Here is the seller's store:

They are bare plastic still from when I first got them.

New bumper installed this morning. Very happy with it and the color is very close. Slightly lighter than the factory paint but you might not be able to see it in the pics.

Out with the old POS.





Side by side comparison.



On with the new shiney.









Now to go try out the PDR kit I just got.

So much of an improvement it's unreal

Started work on my bed today, got the old dented roll pan cut off and out of the way and started prepping for the new one to go on even better, im gona do it like i did mine on my blue truck, 100% weled everywhere it makes contact on the truck and not just along the sides

Before:

After:


And this is the roll pan i cut off, it was repairable but when you have a new one standing by, why not replace it...

There have been 2 or 3 put out at my local lkq in Tampa, but I don't feel like pulling them atm.

Plus, I wanna hybridize with the 06+ grill.

If I could find a already grey painted grill In good shape an decent priced, I don’t mind a little bit of a drive

Hey, guys, I saw something cool the other night. Dude had a black 3rd gen with 22" SRT's set up on 33/12.5r22 A/T's, and he had a shackled rear.

BUT, he kept his O/L spring and THEN put a 1" lift block on the front, effectively doing what I call a 'split level'.

It looked good, too. Not too high like I think a front level looks with 33's, but it looked like a truck "should" look. {{At least if you ask my godmother and boss, who all think lowered trucks are stupid.}}
