What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looks good

 

Many here including myself have mentioned this... Use epoxy or the equivalent.

Also the screws included do absolutely nothing. You'll need a #8 1/2" screw if I recall correctly.

 

I still have an extended warranty. If it weren't for that, it would've been a garage project for sure.

 

Nice, thanks for that! I've been looking for a suitable magnet so I can do this:

 

I'm definitely happy I got it so far. Only been a few days.

 

I originally bought and used the recommended larger pan head screws for this. My recommendation would be to skip that as it's a waste of money.

Just use epoxy or superglue, and it's never coming off.

 

Thank you, it’s a DV8 rack from extreme terrain. Wasn’t bad, for the money.

 

I used the Loctite 404 with the larger screws and some Gorilla Glue over top of them.

Wow. I didn’t know any of that.

 

Are they 295 with 17/9? Let me know if you sell!

 

No, 16x8 285/75/16

 

I remember those days. Before you know it, they will be in college. Have fun with them while you can. It'll be the best time of your lives!

 

What is that funny looking thing attached to your Fob(Not the clasp)? I haven't seen one of those in a while.

 

That Meso change container is so badass. I wish he would make one for the smaller MT cut out right in front of our cup holder

 

Wow that fits perfectly

 

Wanted to share my project for this weekend to fix hauling sheet goods like plywood or drywall. As y’all know 4x8’ sheets fit like ass between the wheel wells so here’s a fix I saw somewhere here on TW. Used 2x8”s ripped down to about 7” in the bed slots and 1/4” galvanized chain and shackles to hold the tailgate at the right height to support the rest of the sheet.

When inserting the chain in the latches, make sure to press in until you hear two clicks that way it’s fully seated and locked. To release, simply pull the tailgate handle. The soft open feature still works from this angle.

Nine chain links plus the shackle on each side seemed to be the perfect length for me but the tailgate height can be fine tuned by twisting the chains up some. Here’s a 2x4” resting level on all three supports.


On my way to go buy more plywood:

 

Brilliant. You might be able to use a latching S Hook, or some snap hooks too to make it quick disconnect. I’m going to experiment with looping a long proofcoil back on itself such that I can simply double duty my logging chain. Again, brilliant idea providing the third support.

 

I joined the 3rd Gen Club today! Extremely excited! '17 TRD OR 6MT.
