That boy ain’t right....

 

If you have a buddy with a 3D printer have them look it up on thingiverse.

 

Installed my One Tigris Headrest Molle panels, and moved my blowout kit to the back of the passenger headrest.

 

Did this today. Bought it used in November 19 so not all mine.

 

I know I'm going to cave in and get a Taco Garage Dashtop Multi Mount... But until then, I'm switching from a cupholder Qi Charger to a vent mounted one.

I had a simple gooseneck one. I liked it, but it took up too much space. Now I've got one that has a motorized auto-detect clamp grip on the phone. A little unnecessary, but it feels durable.

I also got these pouches to organize the console "bucket" that work just the way I hoped.

You only bought the dash? Where are the pics of the rest of the truck?

 

Link?

 

I actually have 2.

This one I adopted from a shelter about a year ago. She’s probably around 2 years old.

I have another one who’s an old lady. She’ll be 17 at the end of June.

I hardwired my dash cam today and hooked up the rear cam. Also installed my LED tail lights.

Here’s a pic of the tail lights installed. I’ll try to get a night shot tomorrow.

 

Looks sweet! Any rubbing with this setup?

 

I learn something new everyday.
But since I'm lazy I'll take my chances and see what happens after the shell is installed. I'm not expecting total water tightness...

EDIT:
Checked the "blobs" of silicone on the bed corners...
Do seem soft towards the "center" but as they're fairly well exposed to air on many but not all sides I'm thinking they'll cure enough in a couple of weeks or so before the shell is installed and provide an adequate water barrier. My fall back will be to carve the silicone out then use the aerosol expanding foam filler. I'm hoping it'll be ok...

Finished installing my gas can/ gear holder in the bed. All in all I'm pretty happy with it

 

Never had any major problems with any of those “found on roadside dead” Ford’s that I had. Guessing your Ford friends didn’t know what they were doing to have their trucks break down so often.

edit: Regarding not getting the styling similarities, I understand, we don’t all read or comprehend things on the same level. It’s not your fault, it’s just how you were made.

 

SHOTS FIRED!!!!!

 

Do you know if the ubolts were replaced (don’t see it on the list of parts included)? Trying to find out if Toyota has longer bolts available (longer than the 6.5” that my factory measured).
