What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Picked up an new OEM TRD pro grill. Got a killer deal on it because it came with the OEM garnish which I do not need and sold to another member.

Not a big fan of this grill on my truck. Only because it doesn't look as aggressive on a stock truck. Hopefully I can purchase everything on my wish list and install it by the end of the year.

 

This what you're looking for? Sorry it took a bit!

 

Appreciate it. That shows what I needed to see.

 

First time moving sheets of plywood in it. I have to double check the exact measurement, but it seems like there's about 3'10'" between the wheel wells. Just two more inches and a board would lay in there perfectly (then lean on the closed tailgate).

 

Finished up installing the SOS HC swingout this morning.

I added a backup camera bracket. I ended up buying a separate harness so I could swap the tailgate in and retain the camera if I ever needed to.

I'm satisfied with how the extension came out. Started out using Rust-Oleum "pro grade" rattle can bed liner. I ran into issues with the surface shrinking and cracking, so I went back to the regular 15oz cans. Added a couple tie down points in the corners with 1/4" steel left over from cutting the bottom piece to the correct width.



And here's the gap from the swingout

 

You didn't use the slots?

 

Just a simple shovel mount. Might have to rethink it when I get the tent back on.

 

Transfered all the steering wheel controls to an eBay carbon fiber wheel, SystemWheels P/N M335AFE2BR, because race truck

 

FIFY!

 

Yes literally two bags of rice in the background.

Damn Monroe, what is that a 60” lift.

 

nice! it will look awesome... just gotta be patient.

 

very cool. my steering wheel is starting to flake. was this hard to do?

 

The slots make it sit flat, and the tailgate has to be open, right? My usual m.o. is to load one board to the corner where the head and the bed meet, lift it up, close the tailgate, rest on tailgate, then load the other pieces.

 

Thank you. That is correct.

 

Are they common at that price. I remember being interested in a similar wheel and they where like $500.

 

Yes and no. You can always build on the last slot to allow it to rest on the tailgate, 2 straps, and call it a day. Unless you have a low profile tonneau cover that is.

 

Relatively easy. You need a breaker bar or long ratchet handle, and a torx T30 bit:



Steering wheel puller isn't necessary. If the wheel is tight on the splines, put the 19mm nut back on a few threads, brace yourself in the seat and give it a good pull by hand.
