What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That is what I figured, normal street driving wouldn't see any gains. My tuck does see dirt, but I have a 4cyl 2wd so it isn't going to see a lot of flexy situations (hopefully).

 

I hate how much I like this look. Have new 2021 with JBL...so will likely give it a few years and then see how these decks are. The only thing I thinkmi miss is integration with the dash console...like additional nav instructions, etc.

 

I did these as well...love Meso stuff but he was out of stock at the time ...was surprised how good these looked for the price.

 

I dont think there are any gains on or offroad with these on a normal truck.
But..... If you have a cap, or you have heavy items mounted to your bed rails then these will help both on and offroad to help keep the bedside up straight. If you dont have anything mounted to the bed sides, then they are just eye candy and extra tie downs.

 

Yeah, it would be just extra tie downs in my case.... I can spend $20 and 10 minutes with a drill for that!

 

I think just some red film to the lens?

 

Too easy....

 

Cartrimhome.com is another vendor that has Taco stuff.

I'm sure this info is on the forum someplace but I haven't seen it and I see many people stating these trucks don't have any place to put the gas cap.

 

boom!

You missed the point. TW members get addicted to spending $$$, especially on MESO products so this smart "free" mod just doesn't cut it.

 

I just let my cap dangle, i dont see what the big deal is. Maybe i’m just a redneck

 

The angle of the dangle is what's most important.

 

This is almost free if you know a buddy with a 3D printer.

This... I spend too much money on pewpew parts I don't need to have money to spend on truck parts I don't need.

 

Just a piece of red tint

 

The main reason for putting them on is if you put any type of bedrack/shell on the bed. It's cheap insurance.

 

With the tail gate closed, the bed sides can not move very much.

 

There's a ton of threads on here and people have talked about and shown pictures of the bed spreading.
