Nimble9's Secondhand Parts Build

I remember! New to you is still new I have the same camera with a couple kit lenses. What lens are you shooting with?

 

Just a cheap 50mm!

 

So if I had a prinsu cab rack, would this bed rack sit flush with the cab rack so boards and ladders would sit flat straight across the entire top?

 

Yeah! That’s how I designed it! It’s sold though. Stay tuned for the aluminum version I’ll be releasing soon

 

On top of everything else, i'm looking at fender flares since mine are broken from my front bumper.

Ebay is great, except that every fender flare I can find is for a long bed.

This is the only one i've found for a short bed, and the photos don't even match (different flares in the photos) https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-05-11-...Tacoma&hash=item5b3fae1c48:g:uwEAAOSwNZxcbhvn

Still love my short bed over a long bed lol

 

these and bushwackers crack very easily and was one of the big reasons i went back to oem

 

Interesting, although i'm not surprised. maybe i'll have to just mend mine haha

 

I have all my OEM flare and have no desire to put them back on. I would imagine the fronts are the same, and you can have them if you want.

Or you could try plastic welding yours back together, and repainting them

 

got this, doing this.....



i guess something flexed and the flares didnt give

 

I had a very similar issue recently... I was more specifically looking for shortbed knock off bushwackers... not sure why but like 95% of every one for a shortbed I could find have the ugly lumps on them and I much preferred the smooth style with recessed bolt holes... finally thought I had found a set as that's what the pictures showed and when they showed up they were the lumpy kind... I returned them and bought these and they are good.

Not the cheapest, but I was determined to avoid the lumpy ones. They just look a little hokey imo... also FWIW I have had a set on my truck for the last two years and no cracks, truck spends alot of time on dirt roads. Mine are trimmed a couple inches and have the trim-lock edge trim that may save them from flinging rocks

 

I might take you up on that! the fronts are whats the worst on mine!

OOF! i'm not on 35's (yet) so i'd imagine i'll have a little bit more clearance than you, also, love your build my dude.

Thanks for the link! Unfortunately i get this




I agree, I like the smooth ones better though. the lumpy ones look extra cheap. I like the look of @Chux and @geekhouse23 's fender flares

hmm, i should try this sometime!

 

Lemme know! If not, they're going in the trash in a couple months before I move.

 

33s at the time but thanks man

 

if joel dont want ill take lol, send them back with @fatfurious2 if he ever drives out west lol

 

haha sounds good. They're not perfect, as the rear is cut for HC, front has the bottom trimmed for my 295s, and some of the mounting points are cracked but with a little love and a plastic welder, they'll be good to go.

 

I'll let you know! where you moving too?

 

Just down to the norfolk area. I separate the Navy next thursday (hallelujah) but my wife is air force so we'll move down there end of May for the next 3-4 years. So I'll still be up to rausch and AOAA, but they'll just be weekend trips since the drive will be a bit further.

 

@EatSleepTacos

just saw this email from prinsu

 

oh snap! that's cool though!

 

that's awesome! We have a 2018 crosstrek! lol
