What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Anyone have an idea on what type of weight rating I should have for snatch block? I realized a snatch block and a good tree strap were missing from my truck today.

 

Where can I get these hood struts?

 

This is where I purchased them...

There are install instructions with it and online videos. I love 'em. They work great. There are also threads on this forum about them.

 

Is that a Wilson 1000 up there? I got one for Christmas, and I’ve been debating on the install. I’m worried that the antenna will ride too high. how has it treated you for daily use?

 

Yes, it is a Wilson-1000. Yes, it is tall, but it has great distance range. On the roof, it has a SWR of 1.

 

How do you like that Roland cutter? I am wanting to upgrade from my cricut cutter to something that can handle the finer details. I just don't know if I want to jump all the way up to a GS-24 for something I won't use all of the time.

 

Link for the tailgate lock?

 

Once it warms up today I'm gonna add a pair of flags to my truck. Been seeing them on many trucks locally and like the look. Army base in town has us well supplied with patriots.

I'm down to less than 4 bags now. Scary low.......

You think that's a lot...I have a buddy who orders lump charcoal by the pallet.

 

Added some Tyger Star Armor for door protection on my 2017. Quick and easy with jack stands. 40 mins from box opening to completion.

 

GROUNDBREAKING!!

Easier to install than I would have expected. The gap between the headlight and grill was the perfect shape for my arm.

 

Wonder why it says "does not fit my Tacoma" ?

 

I have had my Redline Elite for prob 15 months and they are great. Toyota should have included struts. I know my Sport hood got heavier every time I lifted it. I show those off all the time.

 

Yea, I said I would never need them but they are definitely on my to do list. Seems like a great price on Amazon. Don't they make different models though? An Elite or something? Wonder what the difference is. I like the black ones though.

 

I have a Roland STX-8 that is at least 15 years old. It still works great. I just used it to make shirts for my son’s college comedy club. I can’t comment about the new models.

 

Standard is black. Elite has more stainless components and finish. Think $20 difference.

 

Well, if only 20 bucks I might go that route. Cool. I think they did a group buy on here too once. Going to check their thread now.

Happy Easter Steve! Happy Easter everyone!

 

Cool. I've really liked having my set on the truck.

 

OEM rail or amazon? I can’t remember the price difference but I feel like Amazon’s was like $40 cheaper

 

Was a couple of days ago but did the $10 DIY pop-n-lock mod so now I have power locking tailgate without buying the kit
