I would just cut off the old connectors and add new ones.

 

Any tips aligning the hood from someone that's installed ditch lights before? I marked sharpie where the hinges were but didnt help too much

 

I've got the RetraxPro MX, retractable cover.

Seems very water tight, very little water in the bed even though I didn't install the drains at the front.

Lockable and has a "hard" top on it.

I mounts onto the bed rails so no drilling or anything like that.

Bad points,
Expensive!
You loose about 8" of your bed at the top front where the cover rolls into it's "box".

But would recommend.

 

Best lights!

 

No ditch lights, but I've installed a new hood before...

Spray some Fluid Film or Cosmoline on all the metal-on-metal contact points so they are slippery.
Get the bolts hand-tight.
Close the hood.
Since the hood latch is still in the same place, the front of the hood will be close to centered.
Use plastic trim tool pry bars and plastic wedges to shift the hood sideways until the gaps are even.
Open the hood just enough to get a long ratchet in. Carefully support the front of the hood with 2x4s. Torque down the bolts.
Close the hood fully and recheck the gaps if you want.

 

I just tell everyone it's Toyota quality control

 

Good enough for Aleppo, good enough for District 6ix, Canuckistan

 

Will look into it. Thought you had Diamondback

 

I believe @LandoFernano has one.

Interested in trading a tacoma for a mini?

 

Appreciate the offer, but I think I'll pass (Didn't you post that picture of the 'smokin' Mini )?

I did like the Mini though. It was a Countryman with a 6 speed. Fun to drive for sure.

 

I have never been interested in Black Friday Sales but I've been told to wait for Black Friday Sales to increase my Milwaukee Tools. If anyone finds any deals please let me and everyone else know. thanks..

 

What specific tools are you looking for? Right now, at home depot, you get the 5AH battery and a free tool with it (7 to pick from), but the battery is $200

 

Would have loved to have joined the Friday night poker run but my Jeep recovery vehicle was on duty for the weekend…

 

Just some packout cases and a 3/8 impact and cordless ratchet. Some other little things.
200 for.the 5a battery and a tool. Not bad.....

 

Robbery, Flaccid, Milfucky, Default, and Makita so it seems

 

Dewalts is cool cause you can get the weed wacker. They make it really hard to pick because once you have the batteries for one brand, you are pretty much stuck with them

 

yeah you're pretty much trapped in. Aint so bad being on team Makita though, they make everything from the coffee maker to the kitchen sink cordless.
