MARYLAND TACOMAS

Nice.. What brand did you go with?


I know Matt saw it on live, but I made a fire extinguisher bed rail mount for less than $12 today. Nothing overly special, but it's pretty stout and only took about 20 minutes lol all SS and aluminum too so it won't rust.

 

So Mason does it look better on or off?

 

I prefer it off. I gave mine away i hated it so much.

She's a beaut Joe!

 

So i had something interesting show up today. I was just given an envelope from Toyota regarding the DTRL lens melting, even though my truck is an 07. In it it says that the lenses now have a warranty on them until November 2015, or, that Toyota would reimburse me if i already replaced them myself.

1. I didn't even know Toyota had my address, as i bought the truck from a small import dealer, not a Toyota dealership.

2. i thought the recall only affected the 09 and newer trucks, not my 07?

Thoughts?

 

I need to do this. i will probably make something out of the leftover aluminum after i get my RFRM from skygear installed.

 

They can find you. I'm waiting for our frame rust letters to come...

Do you has DTRL? I do not.

 

I love what he did there. Turned out nice!

I'm doing one with 4x Inovations bed rail hardware and two huge quick fists...probably wont get to it until Christmas break doe

 

I do have DTRL's. i need to look tomorrow to see if they have melted or not, as i never really gave them a good look before, just a quick glance around the truck every time i get in.

 

Well thats why you got the letter...

You could order some toyota headlights and make them front the bill (dishonest i know )

 

Eh, no point really. for the age of the truck and the abuse ive put on it, there is nothing major wrong to name at the moment. only thing wrong is a mild growl/hum at speed from the front left, i suspect a wheel bearing, even though the tire dosent have any play, wheel bearings are cheap enough to replace

 

I would do that and not get new headlights

 

How are your depos holding up?

 

Thanks! I've been planning on putting it together for a few weeks but finally had the time to swing by the store and get everything lol it's just a piece of aluminum sheet that I cut and bent.. It's held to the bed rail with 2 3/8" bolts and the plastic extinguisher holder is held onto the plate with two 1/4" bolts. Probably a little overkill for a 3# extinguisher but oh well. All the bolts are stainless so nothing will rust either which is nice.

I thought about the 4x innovations mounts but I'm cheap and didn't want to pay for them. Lol they also probably wouldn't have fit under my tonneau rails.

I had the thing velcro'ed to the top I the wheel well in the bed but it wasn't very stable

 

From 4x Innovations,I have just the bolts, washers and square nuts that fit the bed rails

 

They're fine. Some dust in them somehow, gonna blow out with an air compressor or something. I'm putting 303 protectant on all my light lenses to hopefully protect from UV.

 

Dust inside means that's there's some damaged/missing sealant or a gasket somewhere most likely..

 

Havent leaked water..not sure if the dust was there before or not though. I'll monitor it

 

I keep forgetting i'm in your sig, until it just pops up every once in a while lol

 

anyone in annapolis today? saw 2 lifted tacos, one with a toytec eibach/billy lift and blacked out wheels and shit parked downtown and another with a red emblem driving

 

Yeah. I'm in eastport/DTA
