    Headed to the warehouse for the afternoon, to help my supervisor and another person sort through some possible defective tile that we received.

    Hopefully it won't be like a sauna in that place. Trying to lose weight, but not that way.

    Got the Bestop installed Saturday morning. Instructions could have been....clearer.

    Almost there...

    Complete...

    Not bad! I like it! And on day 1 I had reason to fold it down and use the full bed. I would have been TICKED if I had to take off a hard cap I had JUST installed.
    Looks kinda badass too, but it would look a LOT better on a 3" lift with some 33's.

    Wow, was that some serious weather or what? Could not train or even exercise the dogs for fear of heat issues.
    It did give me a chance to work in the shade of the garage and install a hoist to lift and store my cap. I was a bit bummed that I could not get a fair price for it but now I'm glad it did not sell as I can put it on and off as needed with no hassles. (HEY, no comments on how cluttered the bench is)

    Very nice! I’m totally looking into a soft top. I like the look better and it’s ease to fold down for use of the bed.

    Started my Dale Carnige “leadership and management” training today. Already have a project due my next Monday. How to save or make my company 5k. Fortunately I had already done something at work that falls into this so I don’t have to make something up lol.

    Agreed. I love having full use of the bed in 3 minutes. And it turns heads too... I've had to explain what a soft top is at least 6 times in 2 days.

    That's the first thing I noticed. Another reason for me to paint the bushwacker flares.

    Got tired of polishing the drivers headlight on the Tacoma, so ordered a new one.
    The light arrived today. First thing I do is check the condition of the box - perfect. Phew!
    I picked up the box & it rattled. Uh-oh. Open it up & a tab is broken off, likely there to help position the light.

    Guess I'm going to see how good the Amazon returns are. Shesh. :bananadead:
