    Finally got around to installing my Diamondback HD cover with Front Runner rack system.

    full disclosure the rack install was taking too long and I cheated by paying the dealer $150 to complete it for me.

    Installed a new serpentine belt yesterday and my fat belly is sore as Hell today from bending over the front grill for 20 minutes while wrestling with removal and installation.

    Funny thing is, I couldn’t figure out why I was getting weird looks from people the past few days while I was riding around. Turns out my truck was making the high pitch squeal that worn out belts make but my ‘old man ears’ couldn’t hear a damn thing! Haha... the wife wants me to order a hearing aid ... no thanks! I was a little surprised the belt went at 85k miles, I got 125k out of one on my 2015 Tacoma a few years back.

    Lights, stickers, audio, and a grille…
    Sorry man, that totally sucks! Trust me, a body shop is your best bet. A scratch that deep is a TON of work to fix properly, and you’ll need a bunch of supplies as well. By the time you get everything together, and the amount of man hours you’ll have into it, a body shop repair will be well worth it. Also something your insurance company would cover, but the repair itself may be less expensive then your deductible depending on your coverage.

    Here’s a video giving you an idea of how long, and the amount of work it takes to do it right...

    Good luck man!

    I don’t think it’s mundane at all. Just saved me a lot of money. Been looking for a while. Just ordered it! Thanks

    Damn the belt went out at 85k??
    I had a 93 Toyota pickup that had original belt at 260k when I sold it.

    Just curious, did you check the belt tensioner or just install a new belt and call it a day?

    Appreciate it! I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya and yes, they are definitely easier to clean. I used some armorall marketed for vinyl and plastic and a microfiber to wipe em down after installing since my sweaty handprints were everywhere.

    Washed with Meguiar’s carnauba plus wash and waxed with Meguiar’s ultimate polymer carnauba paste wax. Love these products. Have been using them for 15+ years and always happy with the results

    But that is not a mod, that is just common sense. Does not apply.

    That was the point of the post lol
    And letting it rest against the truck is a mod?
