What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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!!

 

I have crossed into the darkside

 

Filled up my my truck today. Unbelievable price for gas. $1.37 per gallon.

 

I thought you added a decal of a guy with a cell phone on your back window.

 

Got around to doing the ADM. Very simple. Gotta love a $9 mod that makes such a difference.

A healthy coating of Cosmoline to keep the vulnerable steel parts protected.

 

Is there enough ventilation around your amp?
I installed small CPU fans on the back of mine to make sure there was some air movement in behind.
