What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

FYI. Should you decide to add the accessory rail it's recommended that you loosen by hand and then back out the rest of the way if using a drill/driver. Failure to break free by hand could result in snapping off the head of the torx screw. It's happened.

Meh. Could be worse. You could be paying monthly for the privilege of using that front rail had they installed it.

I watch that show all the time. Interesting how they are made. Such as so tiny stuff and big stuff.

 

Now that's what I call squeezing the Buffalo on a nickel until it shits!

 

Same. My lady doesn't find it as interesting as I do for most stuff..

 

I kept the 4 cleats I had from the last truck I traded in..

 

I watched Mega Engineering and other shows that they makes huge stuff.

 

Refinished my new to me Voodoo rack with rattle can bedliner, put it and my also new to me batwing back on the truck. New to me rtt coming soon. While in the process, the big brown truck dropped off the next mod.

 

Dammit, that sucks, sorry.

 

These just showed up...........

 

Glad to see I'm not the only one that parks at the end of the lot away from everyone

 

...and then you emerge from the store to find someone has parked in the spot next to you.

 

Yup.

 

I always tell the wife, a little walking won’t kill you. Some of the crazy drivers might, but not the walk.

 

Not as far away as I park!

 

Question for you. I like the punch idea as opposed to cutting the strip into smaller pieces -- I think it is cleaner overall. Great job. Question for you, instead of the punch did you consider drilling them with something like a spade bit?

By the way, really enjoy your videos. They make me feel like I could actually install the rack. .

 

Well I guess I may be lucky I park in the handicap spaces but if I can't then faraway level ground no carts and sometimes across 4 spots LOL J/K about 4 spots

 

The roof molding has a metal strip running down it on the underside, which is why using a punch is the best because you can just "punch" through it all at once.
When I installed my Yakima rack I used snips to cut out the metal band where I needed to drill the holes and used a standard twist bit to drill the holes through the rubber. For a bigger hole like Prinsu requires I'd use a hole saw bit.
