    I just measured my doors to see how much butyl I'm going to need when I replace the moisture barriers.
    Found out that I only have enough to do one door :(
    Just ordered another roll.

    Installed different screws for the bracket and ground for my inverter.

    Because running a full size spare in the stock location is a little silly with my new (To me) rear HC bumper... And I didn’t want the hassle of always having to open and close swing outs every time I wanted into the back of the truck...

    I followed @EatSleepTacos lead and mounted it on the back wall of the bed.
    However, I wanted a little more bounce protection. So besides the added D-rings in bed rack mounts

    I also added L-track to the floor with rivnuts
    So I can have it wrapped bidirectionally with ratchet straps.

    I actually just modified mine a little today. I used to have Toyota cleats with a normal ratchet strap, and switched to d rings with this HD strap. When I wiggle the tire, the whole back wall wiggles. She ain’t goin nowhere.

    Nothing really fancy but efficient in my area. I live in the Los Angeles area and drivers are not the safest. I added these small blinker lights to the fenders as turn signals. I opted out of the LED version for the bulb style. Bulb is amber and it functions. Since I don’t have the turn signals on the mirror as newer tacos I improvised with this mod.

    Thoughts?

    It’s for mounting my rails on the Prinsu. Otherwise someone could just steal my stuff by removing the rails. McMaster also had their own specialty bolts but they were $4 a piece.
    And dang I didn’t know spanners came in the cheap security bit sets. I figured they were the odd one out, and would be harder to remove.

    I asked my son to help me remove the subwoofer box out of my truck. I didn't give give/tell him a "how to".

    Lol.
    It gave me the perfect reason to take his subwoofers that are sitting in the garage - staring at me while I drink beer no less. Ah what the hell I was going to take them anyway lmao

    I like it.
    But if I lived in LA, I'd put them in a continuous line all the way down both sides. :thumbsup:

    He’ll yeah. When we were camping the horses were roaming around the campgrounds, and we saw them from the little bay when we were kayaking. While we were chilling on the beach one tried to take my shirt of the lawn chair I was sitting on. I had to take it out of his mouth.

    We had a great time camping there. Though it was a little crowded. I camped there a few years ago in February. It was amazing because I had a whole
    Campground loop to myself.
