What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

yes...1/4' carriage bolts from the bottom, and wing nuts on top. Holds up well, minimal wind noise. Having the struts on the case when you open it on top is nice to have.

 

Hit 4k today. 20 months later and still breaking her in. It's been a good 4k though.

 

I was reading install instructions and they always stress me out. Find a couple vids online that made it a lot easier. Also, a thread where they used some RTV sealant on the seams to prevent some of the water from coming in. Might try that depending on how bad the intrusion is

 

Installed TRD center caps.

 

I know the feeling

 

no I removed the letters by heating up the double sided adhesive then reinstalled using double sided gorilla mounting tape. So far no chipping but new install and time will tell.

 

few hundred thousand more to go

 

I got the TSB update for the truck! What a difference when driving.

 

Like "OJ's" gloves on trial.

 

So they don’t fit?

 

TSB for 2020 models now? Last time mine was in, they said it wasn't included. I'll give them a call!

 

Yep! The service advisor was impressed that I even knew about it. It took about an hour including my 15k maintenance.

 

I had a shop install mine and I'll warn you now to be careful if you're going to drill out your bed drain holes as the instructions direct you to, to be able to pass the drain tubes from the rails into. On the driver side the drain hole is only an inch or so above the fuel filler neck. I found this out because the shop that installed mine drilled too deep and punctured the filler hose which I didn't find out until I filled up on gas. They made that right and all but I always warn people who are going to install it themselves about this possibility. Also, if you were to use rtv sealant between the bed caps and the bakflip side rails that might help because I believe that's where most of the water gets in, as wall as the corners near the cab obviously.

 

Nice day trip around nor cal

 

Only if OJ is the one installing them on your truck.

 

So I’m assuming those fit non TRD rims as long as they are Toyota rims?

 

I installed a DIY power tailgate lock and did the A/C drain hose mod

 

They fit your trd or wheels.
