What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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.

 

Just ordered some Hikari LED bulbs. They are 40% off on Amazon right now.

HIKARI Ultra LED Headlight Bulbs Conversion Kit -H11(H8,H9), Prime LED 12000lm 6K Cool White https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B077BT6M6Z/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_DekcEbXY6W38P

 

Do you need just the bulbs or all the other stuff they recommend ? Like the anti flicker wires?

 

According to the description of the ballasts you're referring to: "2005+dodge,ram, ford f-150,chevy,kia and jeep may requires these h11 resistors in order to aviod flicker problem."

One has to love that Hikari grammar. For what it's worth, I installed these in a different size on my CR-V without the ballast (direct to the factory harness) with no issues.

 

lookin good

Bought from same place.

Started with 4..

But went with 3..

 

Thanks. I wanted Ohio state because of the Joe burrow connection. But we probably match up better against Clemson. They won a he'll of a game last night.
