What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Really looking into the tri-fold tonneau cover, mine didn't come to one- what are the opinions out there on them? Is it something a somewhat handy person can install solo, with a friend and a few beers or better to let an accessory shop handle?

 

i have one. the posts it attach two are actually under the plastic side rails, so theres removal of that. Other than that i cant see it being a huge hassle

 

Completed my blackout process with the bed sticker.

 

Fixed my mud flaps.
They needed additional support towards the inside; they were twisting in towards the tire.
I didn't want to drill, so I used some 1/4-20 u-clips slipped around the fender liner.

You may not be getting the factory cover, depending on when you order and if you're getting a long bed. Toyota pulled the long bed covers last month due to supplier issues (assuming quality and quantity). They put it on hold from my order in October, and dropped it completely last month. I ended up buying the Extang 2.0, which is reviewed pretty heavily in its own thread.

 

Looks good!

 

That's a NEGATIVE to all your questions! Won't open towards the tailgate, and won't fold all the way up. I still like it, but also on the fence about getting a camper shell.

 

Added vled brake lights and led back up lights....vled drls next up.

Spending way to much money on this truck already haha.

 

No spacer, no rubbing as far as I can tell. It seems a little rough when fully turning the wheel in 4 wheel drive. The wheels I have are 8.5" wide I believe and the stock rims are 7" maybe? Hope that helps.

 

That's what I did with mine.

 

It looks like I have the same steps and had a similar issue with the front bolt on each side. I could not get the bolt to line up properly and pull close enough to get the bolt threads secure enough. I put a jack, with a piece of 2x4, under the forward most bracket and jacked it into place. Once in place the bolts lined up fine.

 

Picked up the new whip today and got the windows tinted.

 

looking to upgrade my headlights and fogs to HID or LED. does anyone recommend an afforadle brand? And what are the bulb sizes thank you!

 

Before and after.

 

Did you make those out of vinyl? or did you buy them?

 

I made them at my shop.

 

I'm getting mine put on tomorrow. I'm pretty sure they just folds back 2/3rds of the way.

 

I made the mistake of using my shoulder to push it in place long enough to put the bolt in. Bruised both shoulders.

 

Officially, finally, brought it home. Slapped the Huskys in. Will do the 5" ovals and Extang 2.0 this weekend when there is light. Winter sucks - it's dark when I leave in the morning and dark when I get home.

Pics when I'm done. Well, okay here's one.

 

Thumbs up, soldier!
