What did you do to your Gen3 today?

[derekp]

Well since nobody else is posting anything... I've been driving around with my new wheel and tire setup on the Maxtrac 7" lift. (35x12.5 Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ, 20x12 -44 fuel maverick) even did a bit of dirt road hooning.

Looks good! I want your wheels. Lol

Drove it to Wal-Mart to get a tire replaced for my gf's Mitsubishi, parked the Magnum project in the garage and put Big Red back in her normal spot.

Got the tweeters installed. Also got some new battery posts on as well. Pics will come later as there are still wires exposed as I didn't have access to a deep socket set to get the apillars off.

Transmission flush and differential fluid change. The trans pan is leaking, the rtv must not have set right so now I gotta drop the pan again. Oh well

My grab handle on the driver side pillar gave loose a few weeks ago.. It's just kinda sitting there lol.. Not sure what to do to fix it or replace it. Don't have a need for more gauges

Get the kit from Genos garage made a world of difference

Got my fiberglass cervinis srt 10 hood in yesterday. Of corse the ************* didn't include the insert grill piece thing, but the hood looks pretty good

Someone near me has a cervin hood for sale, are the 06 hoods same as 02?

Finished installing a Hurst short throw shifter from Core Shifters and a stubby antenna.

Threw the keys to a guy and watched her drive down the lane. Sadder to see her go than I thought I would be.

What do you think of the shifter? I've been dying to do something about my shifter. Worth the money?

I really like it a lot, it's definitely worth the money! The factory shifter housing is full of plastic parts, making each shift feel "spongy". The Core Shifters housing is build with Hurst components and feels a lot more solid with the added benefit of shorter throws. I love the classic look of the chrome stick and ball. Just an fyi - the knob height is the same as stock, but the Hurst stick isn't angled the same, so the shift pattern is farther away from the driver. It didn't take long to get used to, the other benefits far outweigh the difference.

Thanks! How was the install? What were the steps?

The instructions from Core Shifters were detailed and easy to follow. I made 2 trips to the auto parts store though, first for an E8 external Torx bit to remove the factory shifter from the trans and second for a 7/32 hex bit to torque the Hurst stick to the shifter. Here are the basic steps:

1. Remove floor console, shift knob and upper boot.
2. Remove lower boot and factory shifter. Remove the plastic cup from the ball stud, be careful not to crack it and install it on the new ball stud.
3. Apply a small bead of RTV around the shifter base on the trans, install the new shifter and torque the new hardware.
4. Install the chrome stick and torque the hardware.
5. Reinstall the lower boot, upper boot and floor console.
6. Install the jam nut and new shift knob.

I let the RTV cure over night before I finished the install. It probably took an hour or so when I subtract the trips to the store. I also used blue thread locker with the hardware. The hardest part was digging the plastic cap out of the factory shift knob.

I finally got around to doing my locker bypass switch for my POWERWAGON. First impression not bad.

Well no 35s for the truck right now. When removing the tires 2 weeks ago they put a gash in my sidewall somehow. Tire shopping again.

Amateurs. Have them to try mounting 40/14.50/R26 tires on 26x14 wheels without damaging anything and they'll be experts after a while. Lol Are they paying for the new ones?

 

[usaf2006]

I always loved installing anything over 35s when I was in the biz.. Made me feel like a man lol.. Nobody else in the shop wanted to lift those big tires. Bunch o sissys
