Looks sweet did you have to cut on the front bumper?

 

I think the premium package is upgraded interior, i was looking a 2019 or without premium package and basic lights then i saw my cement taco sitting in the back lot and had 0 miles, the guy said they had just gotten that day before

 

Martin Off Road

 

Martin Off Road. Basically a Prinsu replica but a bit cheaper and turn around time is much faster.

 

I can't disclose that information. But don't drive too slow in the fast lane...

 

Prinsu is quoting 7-10 day lead time.

Also from their site:

 

Im wondering will they beat the Hooke roof rack off Amazon

 

I had a freaking blast today. The truck has many speed now.

 

I think you can find them at tufskinz.com

 

If anyone finds a good rack that is matched can you post it?

For the entire month of October, we are going to Meet or Beat the price on any rack of the same size for the same vehicle make and model.

We guarantee you won’t find better-engineered product and if they are cheaper, we will match it!

 

my GOAT armor got delivered today and i put it on this evening. will update with a day photo.

 

Drove it for the first time in almost 3 weeks. Also, I ordered these . Even though I won’t put them on until next year. Damn winter and salt season.

 

Someone rear ended my girlfriend while she was driving the Taco today (hit and run) Scrapes on the bumper cover but luckily nothing on the tailgate or frame. Thoughts on after market bumpers?

 

Litterally any aftermarket bumper!

Sorry for damage and congratulations for the opportunity to upgrate, at the same time.

 

Nicely done, that is going to need a cold water mixer to cool it down in summer, looks like it will make steam! Also put this next to it: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-3rd-gen-today.399305/page-8829#post-24279206

 

Roof rack mounted Pelican box question. I really like the idea of some storage boxes mounted to the roof rack. However, I want them to be easily and quickly removed. My first thought was to just run carriage bolts up through the box, and hold them down with wing nuts. But, I'd really like to be able to mount and unmount the boxes (teeheehee) without having to open the boxes. Does anyone make a quick release mount that I haven't been able to find? Preferable something lockable.

If not, I'm thinking of bending up some 1"X1/8" aluminum bar stock as shown below (Only one load bar shown) and hold the boxes at the other end with a toggle latch, heavy rubber ice chest latch, or something like a jeep hood latch. What problems can yall foresee with this setup?

 

I thought about doing something like that but with where i live, i was worried about people stealing them even if i locked them. I just ran 3 1/4 bolts and flat bar like what you showed but with nuts on the inside of the cases. got everything from Home depot for like 10 bucks i think maybe 20 for 2 cases. i just need to remember to charge my drill next time i remove them so im not standing there forever wrenching the nuts off.

 

Why not use wing nuts, or knobs and cut them bolts short so you only have 10 threads or so to undo?

if its a PITA for me to take them off, just makes it harder for them. haha. plus i did it last minute before a trip and just havent had the need to swap them out. Only taken the cases off once and that was to get underneath for a better cleaning.

 

I’m really surprised something isn’t available yet for this. The toggle latch could easily have a hole for a padlock.
