What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks

 

Did some work on my Minime 3rd gen. While waiting for my new IFS suspension, skid plates and wheels I did my first primer seal coat and assembled the fog light bezels and lower wind screen. With the darker gray its closer to MGM color which I cant do until spring.

 

Looks dope!

 

On the tailgate.

 

Waiting for mine to come in. Very excited!

 

Nice. I've never done one before. They are a lot of work..lol

 

Hauled some Oak before the rain comes tomorrow...



Where is the Tacomas at work thread anyway?

Finally got around to cutting planks for the bed so it will be easier to haul 4x8 sheets. I originally tried a 2x6 but it didn't fit snugly into the pockets, (2) 2x4s fit perfect.

 

FIFY

 

What length are they?

 

I initially tried 57" to start with but they didn't slide all the way down in, so I cut them down to 56 7/8" and then they fit perfect

 

Awesome setup! Is your canopy reinforced? Any issues with the RTT on top?

 

How about a 2x8?

 

That could possible work too, (2) 2x4's fit pretty damn good though.

 

I like these but aren’t they super slippery?

 

Okay cool. I used 2x6 before but I agree they slid around too much

 

Yeah with the 2x6 it definitely has too much room to slide around.

 

Not sure how wide the bed notch is but you may need to notch or rip the 2x8 to fit? 2x4's are 3-1/2" wide and 2x8's are ajout
7-1/4 to 7-1/2. Wider than 2 - 2x4's but would be 1 piece.

 

Thanks! The canopy is not reinforced. Its mounted on a Prinsu Top Rack. Yesterday/Today was the first trip out with the RTT on the canopy but as far as I can tell everything is holding up great! Canopy is the ARE CX Evolve.
