Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

right now.....

I have no idea what I'm having tonight. Not my turn.

 

The big one on the left is for the neighbor, the other two are ours, but we're having friends over, who will get brats and burgers off the Weber. All meat/all the time...

 

I still got some brots and steaks I bought left. Did the burgers Saturday. Carol's turn!

 

Good Morning ATX! We going to do this everyday until we get everyone?

 

EDIT: Got it. There are welded nuts behind the bed frame. They are the top bolts to the rear sill, BTW.

OK, question for ANYone who might have messed with these two bolts. There are (2) 10 mm bolts on the TOP of each side of the metal riser at the back of the bed. They are not part of tail light removal, and they don't SEEM to be in any part of removing the bed. I removed the front bolt on each side, no problem. On the rear bolt, it started coming out, but even with little, one handed torque, I snapped the driver side right off. Trying the passenger, I was cautious, and stopped with resistance.

Is there a nut I have to get behind it? Remove the tail light? (I can do that). I can't find a thing. Needless to say, it's a hard Google search to specify Any help or experience appreciated.

Suuuuuuup

 

Soup!

Morning ATX!

Get to be mobile today.
Gave the new system some "reality tests" yesterday. Can I haul the odd recycling run on top with minimum fuss? With the net, sure. Can I show my colors? Sure! I think this is gonna work out for me.






Happy Hump-Friday y'all!

 

I need to figure out if I can get a queen mattress into the gfc covered bed so I can take to the recycler

As for those bolts, the rear 2 hold the tail light in. Iirc, one screws into a clip that holds the light housing to a spot on the body work.

I can't remember what the one more forward is for

 

Actually, part of the group of bolts that hold the rear bed sill - I found that out. Friend in El Paso sent me this;



So, I'll probably remove the lights anyway, just to get some spray on them.

 

Doin the humpty hump!!!

Niiiiiiiiice!!! ​

 

Good Morning ATX! Well, if it can be believed, I can mow this morning without rain. Noah and the Ark may visit tomorrow. That's it, my whole plan. Go from there. More coffee!

 

Stopped raining, but ground/glass still wet,,, like pushing a mower through a swamp. Have fun!

 

Dry enough here to get going - didn't get much yesterday in the pop ups.

 

I'm gonna try to ask here first instead of making a new thread: Does anyone know the bolt size (and number of bolts) needed to mount Predator steps up to a 2018 Tacoma? I've got the steps, but they didn't come with any of the mounting hardware, so I need to find out the right side and hit up a hardware store to grab em before I can get em on.

 

Where you at? I have a surplus of bolts in my garage that you can use. You need 12 total. Not 100% positive, but they are an M10 either 1.25 or 1.5, you can take the plastic plug out and use it as a thread reference as well.

 

I'm in Leander. I'm actually waiting on appointment confirmation from you for a cab mount chop and fog light install, but I know you said you're busy. If you've got the hardware though I can wait to put them on at the same time.

 

Sent you a text.
