    Initially had the lights wires to the running lights, but I decided to move the connection so that the lights come on when the ignition is on. So far I’m happy with this set up. And for $30 it’s hard to beat

    I wish mine would show up. I got a tracking number, but it hasn't updated as leaving him yet.

    Looks good!

    Managed to botch an easy after work job. Getting vinyl put on the roof in a couple days, so was taking off the roof racks.

    I have 3 hex head bolts that I manged to strip. They have to come out to get the rack off. I've drilled into them and tried an extractor but that was futile.

    Anyone have an idea how to get those out? I was going to resell this thing but now I don't care if I have to cut it to pieces. That might be the only way.

    You could try using a rotary tool (dremel) and cut off disc to put a slit across the tops and try to remove them with a good sized flat head screwdriver.

    A little of this and a little of that.
    Bought a bottle of Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and washed both of my Tacomas and my wife’s 4 Runner. I’m impressed and I’m worn out!

    That's a good idea. If that didn't work I could cut the head up enough so I could just pull the rack right off the old bolt. Thanks, I will try this.

    If you're going to go that route it would be easier to just drill the head off but I would try the slit first as you may be able to remove the entire screw.

    I got it used as a gift and it needed to be rebuilt. I rebuilt it and it jacks up but not down. I need to try it with weight on it

    Thankfully my uncle has painted his fare share of vehicles in his time and was able to paint it for me...8CCA1FAD-65EC-4991-A836-EB434BEEEB3A.jpg
    Not the best picture with the sun out but you get the point... (also took off our road trip stickers on the windshield)

    And then my prinsu came in yesterday...

    Try with weight on it. It needs x amount of lbs to work properly (I can’t remember the amount)

    Did a few odds and ends to the truck today. Added some L track, finished up the hi lift mounts, and mounted the HD tech deck.

    I was impartial to my other mounts, but everyone seemed to love them. So I offered up my mounts in exchange for the HD tech deck, straight trade (no cost to me). Got taken up on that offer within minutes.
