What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I have been deemed essential. Brushing the dust off my shoulders. Drive back from lunch. Road is usually bumper to bumper.

 

Im not sure what would be better, getting to stay home, or knowing your job is the backbone of the country. I think the pride in knowing your needed would be good for me.

Also, today I finished the cover for my amps. Its made of fiberboard thats screwed together. Covered in vinyl that matches what I used for my sub box. I didnt have enough vinyl to cover the whole thing, so I stuck some of that diamond plate rubber step pad stuff I had laying around on the top. I think it turned out pretty good.

 

I wish I had kept the rail and tie downs from my 2014 that I traded in. Just didn’t realize at the time that my new one didn’t come with one.

 

Me too. I'm making product that folks in many cases don't need and in many more cases aren't allowed to buy right now for one reason or another.
Edited!

 

I agree plus the raised letters look better.

 

They got a lot of us!

 

Can't really blame them. If I sold a truck that everybody loved to customize and make their own I'd make a ton of accessories and sell them at a premium too. Sucks but what can we do?

 

Just what we're doing. As it is with any commodity you either buy it or go without. All about supply and demand.

That said that accessory rail channel is available from other sources. I just found it easier to buy OEM rather than find a source, cut to length, layout, and drill holes to match the existing anchor points in the bed, but it certainly is doable. Just didn't see a cost savings that would match the effort involved in making my own.

 

Had a buddy many years ago take his F150 in for his first oil change to one of the quick oil change places. They called him after his wife had driven back home and put about 30 to 40 miles on it and told him that they believe the technician forgot to put oil back in the truck. (She didnt notice the oil pressure gauge, not sure if it had a light) Yep, not a drop, at least on the stick. Shocked it didnt seize up but must have had something in it. Needless to say, when he got through with them, he had a new engine. He didnt take shit from anyone.

 

Yessir the things we learn, can’t believe they picked that to cut costs with!

 

........and make money on as an accessory item.

 

Got my bed mat today.

 

One of the most practical purchases you will make.
Welcome to TW Clint!

 

Guy at work just bought a 2020 Colorado diesel and his came with it. Toyota needs to step it up.

 

And this is why I'd never take any of my vehicles to Jiffy Lube, etc. When I can no longer change my own oil I'll do without.

 

Bad ass!
I to chose bronze.

 

I hope you feel good about creating some badassery!

 

Id be in the market if you sold this! It's awesome.

 

How in the hell could they be so stupid?

 

That looks killer!!
