The Lair

Mine was like that until I realized how much the rear (front?) wall of the bed flexed with the tire strapped to it.

 

Mine sandwiches my traction boards to the front of the bed. I haven't noticed any flexing though. It's pretty solid. Eventually I'm designing a 60-80% toolbox that'll have a spot to mount the spare vertically behind the driver seat. Designing it to hold up to a 35" tire, double as a bed cage, and some other goodies.

 

I thought it was solid until I grabbed the top of the tire and it wiggled back and forth a surprising amount. Maybe over time the wall has gained some flex or maybe because it’s such a heavy spare, I dunno. Definitely made me uncomfortable though and why I moved it to the floor.

We be twins!

 

Yooo congrats!! Chrome handles, so is that a limited???

 

Platinum!

Ooo you fancy boy. I assume you traded in the tacoma?

 

Norris is still parked at home. Gonna sell it to a coworker or my nephew. They both want it.



We went to get a white 2019 TRD Pro, but I was very unimpressed. It had no creature comforts.

My wife saw the platinum and asked the salesman to look at it. We both immediately fell in love. The vented seats are to die for...and YOLO!

Had a Bakflip Tonneau and Amp Research power steps too as a bonus!

 

Hell yeah! Well congrats, that’s a huge step up, literally.

 

Thanks! It is by far the nicest (and biggest) vehicle I have ever owned!

Randy, what octane petrol do you run in your "not a build" Tundra?

 

Whatever the cheapest is at the pump, I think 87 or 89. I've never put anything else in any of my vehicles.

 

I forget you are at sea level so 87 is the lowest available to you. We have 85 here.

 

Wait, you're not at sea level?

 

Why did you go with that cooler vs this one?

Sarcasm? No. I am about 4.5-5k feet above here around town, and anytime I head up the canyons can go up to 9-10k feet above.

 

Back when I bought that, he offered the Setrab cooler for $900 or the MHX 514 for $1000. An extra $100 for more cooling power was a no brainer for the weight I pull.

I wasn't sure what part of UT you're in, I assumed somewhere flatter.

 

So the cooler you went with has more cooling power? Does he not offer the same kit as you purchased anymore?

 

Correct, the Setrab has a 27,000-39,000 BTU per hour cooling capacity and the MHX has a 46,000 BTU per hour cooling capacity. He doesn't offer it anymore because shortly after I bought the kit the price of the MHX cooler went up, and he would have had to raise prices even more.

 

Ah, I emailed him to see just in case. A quick google search shows the MHX-514 is $350 by itself...and out of stock everywhere!
