What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I’ve always had good luck with Amp products. Made in the USA and of great quality.

 

First, last, and only patch in my rig!

 

Installed a solar panel. Fabbed up the hardware with aluminum scraps that were on hand. Not sure if I like it, might make it collapsible.

Haven’t gotten to the controller yet...

 

CoverKing velour dashmat. Yes, I know they’re cheesy, but I like them and it’s my rig.

 

Pretty sure they are identical. I think AMP makes the Tacoma step.

 

Might be more aerodynamic as it is deflecting the airflow over the rtt, awning or what have you and increase mpg's over it down. Might be worth a controlled test to see which is more efficient. I know I'm curious. Either way I like it!

 

Actually, the function as a wind deflector was the primary inspiration for this. I’d been trying to figure out a good way to do it when I was inspired by a solar thread the other day.

 

Installed a Yakima JetStream system with fairing. Waiting on the offgrid basket now. Bring it on prinsu fanboys!

 

Thats a good looking taco!

 

Followed this dinosaur to the Badlands

 

Anchive Garage U Bolt Flip kit with Super Bumps.

Raised wheel by axle. Removed wheel. Placed index marks (note white paint stripes on side of base and leafs) on all spring pack parts just in case anything shifts when OEM U Bolts are backed off. If things move and you can’t get them back you may end up with having a four wheel alignment done. Yes, there is an indexing post on the spring pad BUT if you ever had loose U Bolts the post and socket can be wallowed out. Removed OEM U Bolts and base plate. Install new parts and mark U Bolt protrusion. Cut excess off the new U Bolts or you’re going to get a very nasty surprise. I then torqued to 40lb, 60lb, and finished at 80lb per Anchive. Sprayed clear coat on ends of U Bolt and nuts to prevent rust. Re-torque at 100 miles and 500 miles.

 

My oldest son reminded me it's the first day of fall but it's over 80 today.

I was sweating getting the Pelican case mounted as well as the Onx6 on the Prinsu

 

It was a high of 63° here today and overcast. It was a welcome relief from the high 70's with 80% humidity of last week.

 

Looks nice! 80's degrees sounds like winter for us in AZ. We are in the mid-90's in southern AZ while others in the central part of the state are still in the triple digits.

 

Looks good. Checked your youtube channel but no video on it. How did you mount the pelican?

 

The last photo was before final torque. After 80lb torque there was one thread. To answer your question no threads are needed to extend beyond a fastener.

 

The Gorilla/Gladiator Net came in today for my Bajarack. Very solid product. Its the rubicon model

 

I graduated aviation school in 1980. The reason you want visible threads in aviation is for torque paint if used and visual inspection without having to use a torque tool.

 

Nah. He's got full thread engagement.

 

I bought my 2018 DCSB A week ago Thursday.

Last Monday I bought a set of RBP RX3 step/ nerf bars and a Truxedo tonneau cover.
Both items were Craigslist/ FB Marketplace pickups.

The nerf bars were installed Monday night, the tonneau cover today.
I put 1k miles on the truck since I bought it.
Lovin' it so far.
