What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nope. If you drug her by her foot she'd fill up with dirt.

The bolt widens above the thread to ~9/16". I can grab a picture when I'm home, but this is a sketch of what the bolt looks like


Edit: although now that I look at the product page I may be able to just pull the clip/ nut from under the bed if that's actually how it's configured

 

It's a shoulder bolt. The shoulder allows the d ring to be able to rotate. Measure the shoulder diameter and drill the hole slightly larger and you'll be good to go. But, if you're using the d ring still it wont be able to rotate anymore unless you find a bolt with a longer shoulder.

 

Ahh its a shoulder bolt. Makes sense

 

Thanks! I was blanking on what that was called

 

Welcome to the forum from Eastern North Carolina !

PM coming . . .

 

SawatDee Kup Anna. Welcome

 

I think we’ve all said that at one point... good luck!

 

And you play hell trying to teach them that the deodorant tablets in the urinals are NOT breath mints!


Now, crayons might be...

 

Well don't ever find out who @MESO is, you'll be like the rest of us...

 

I like the showing of a poppy for Vet plates. Well Done Manitoba.
Never Forget!

 

You can get shoulder bolts with a longer shoulder from places like fastenal or McMaster -Carr but metric ones are pretty rare and they'll only have an allen drive so you'll lose the d-ring.

 

It’s payday, so I’ll just leave this here for @M4sshole...

GOD NOOOOO HOW COULD YOU?!!? He will never be the same, either will his bank account.

 

Reminds me of a joke, starts with, "Trust me......"
But I digress.

I think we were all done at some point but then someone comes up with the next great product or idea for a pretty slick mod and we're off and running again. Next to a home a Tacoma can be your biggest money pit, it's just the nature of the beast.
Most fun I've ever had wasting money!

 

Today I got to learn how to add transmission fluid and set the correct level!

dang but that transmission pan looks like an oil pan when you’re not paying close attention and haven’t done a change on this model yet... DOH!

 

Added a bunch of new TRD Red accents and I think it looks awesome.

TRD Pro Shift knob, cupholdhero cupholder inserts, Tuffskinz Vent Rings, and Glove box letter inserts

 

Doing a deep clean of the tacoma following the end of upland and waterfowl season. I took the time to install an under the seat molle rack from Desert Does It. High quality and fits perfectly. Plan on installing a small fire extinguisher on it. Will post pictures when I do
