I always called those 1 piece covers like yours a lid but I know what you are saying about the truck cap. Had one on a '03 Dakota and you could not wash the bird bombs off the windows between the cab and cap. Never thought about that when I shelled out a little over $1,000 for it. Then I didn't like the idea of them cutting into my trucks wiring to hook up the interior and 3rd brake light. If I would of caught them in time I would of stopped them. Did not need those lights anyhow.

I would want the Undercover Elite or SE so I would not have to wax it. My black truck has enough to wax. If this Lo Pro QT has a tree limb puncher the vinyl I'll get a one piece next time.

Just orders one. Again I succumb to the peer pressure. I am weak! I have a Sport grill for sale. (Provided the new grille arrives undamaged)

Hey Turd Gen Owners
So I have been off the grid for the last few weeks, just been mad busy on this deployment (missin family and my Taco like mad, at least we have a fuck ton of up-armored Land Cruisers and non-armored Hiluxes here to play with and of course the Middle East version of the Bang Bus the Toyota Hiace good in Japan not for tall Americans haha...) and just got back on today since I had some down time and wasn't passed out the moment I flop down on my rack. So I get my wife to take the Taco in to Malloy Toyota of Winchester, VA...boy was this a CF! So let me begin...
I call the dealership on our MWR phone here (if you know how those work it's not cool to hog it for more than like 10 min) of course put on hold for 10ish min alone...Finally talk to service writer give him my list of complaints and what I want done extra. We had previously planned on getting the hood re-glue (tried to get a Sport hood, no dice but can't blame me for tryin!) and getting the tranny fluid manually checked so those were to be done this service. (Already had the TSDB done). I am told sure have your wife bring it by anytime and we will keep it overnight so we can check the fluid sure fine and good, tell him since I am deployed my wife's gonna need a loaner (nothing fancy or anything but keeping my new almost 40k truck overnight to fix yall's fuck up, loaner is the least you can do. He says he will have to check to make sure he can, so I'm like ok but I'll just have her go somewhere else if not (am I wrong for asking for a loaner...really?) So we schedule to drop off anytime Wed, service and check tranny Thursday. I tell him to call my wife and let her know there will be a loaner for her, ok he says will do! Wed comes, she take the truck in, lady at service desk "THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE HERE TUESDAY NIGHT FOR WED SERVICE!", my wife's like uh ok, insert "But did you die...?" here...my wife's like ok but my husband made the appt and definitely said Wed for Thursday service. Next issue...wife is like "Oh and I'm suppose to get a loaner since it's being kept overnight" service lady "They are all being detailed right now so you can't have one!"...really? Every one? All 15ish? You have 15 people detailing all 15 cars at the same time...? (Insert BULLSHIT FLAG here,oh and Merca!)...Oh and my wife has our sick 20m/o son with her, who recently had to go to the ER and ICU for a freaky seizure event which docs said was prob just a freak thing thankfully ruling out Epilepsy and some other common disorders (thanks Big Man upstairs) and (fuck that damn near killed me when I was told that thousands of miles away and not a damn thing I could do...fuckin deployments sometimes...). Anyways so my wife has to call her mother to come get her and my son which is a good 50m round trip, I was livid(dealership) when I was hearing this as you can imagine. So she get's home, no calls or anything from the dealership for 2 days, So I call the dealership, everything was fine and has been done...I have to ask about the tranny fluid lvl (prob why he wasn't planning on mentioning it)..."Oh let's see we did check that and it was only a little over 2 qts low... Me: DaFaq! I literally asked him if "he was shitting me, while maniacally laughing", he didn't answer...so I was like well I'm glad yall wouldn't manually check it oh I dunno when I asked you to do it at my 5k service. Oh and we didn't address your hood, your mileage is "within range" (14-16ish combined) and no I don't drive it crazy, mostly highway or on my property. Along with a couple other items conveniently ignored... Hang up call Corp...they note my comments and say the service manager will call my wife, I wouldn't like to be on the Toyota side of that call since my wife knows how much I love my truck and how hard I worked to finally get it esp since I haven't had a vehicle of my own in 5-6 years. Coming up on at least 6 days (middleeast shit hole time) and no call...So where has everyone else gone with their low tranny fluid issues, what have you got Toyota to do? I really want them to replace tranny partially on principle, I already have the 8yr/100k ext warranty but I think that should be besides the pt. Really need to find a dealer with an awesome service dept because I am done with the two I have used so far. Anyways hope everyone is doing well, hopefully I'll get to catch up, I'm pretty far behind on my spot in this thread, like 300ish pages behind... Advice welcomed either by reply or pm. Happy Sat and Freedom the Fuck On!

Took the Taco to the Hobby Shop on base. Did a oil and Tire rotation.

Got it back from the Rhino Liner spot yesterday. I just finished the install, love the bumper, excellent fabrication, but absolutely horrible install instructions.

Still, it fits.

Lamin-x my fogs right now during this so called major storm in Washington

Washed her and put mountain vinyls above the Tacoma emblem

RRR13 · Oct 15, 2016

Window tint all around (15% on front, 3% on rears, and a 5% 9-inch window strip). Removed the V6 badge on the tailgate and yesterday I plasti dipped the Tacoma badges on the door. Predator rails and all weather mats. Next purchase is a new grill and seat covers (still don't know what to get).
