What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

An admin that doesn’t shy away from the bull work. Guy should run for office

 

I finally got around to installing my racks. UpTop Overland Alpha on the cab, and a Frontrunner Slimline II on the topper. I originally had an UpTop rack for the topper as well, but I wasn't keen on how high it had to sit in order for the side plates to clear the roof of the Alu-Cab, so I didn't install it. The Frontrunner rack sat a bit lower, but I still wasn't crazy about the look. I decided to make my own mounting feet for it out of aluminum. The rack now sits only 1/4" above the Alu-Cab's roof tracks. I'm pretty stoked with how it turned out.

 

A proper work truck.

 

Added a Leitner dual GearPOD, full length is on order for the other side.

 

Is that a composite bedrack? Who makes that? Looks nice!

 

It’s actually forged: https://www.leitnerdesigns.com/products/classic-active-cargo-system-ldasm

 

Very cool. First time I've seen them. What's your opinion?

 

I don’t have any personal experience with them, I’m just familiar with the system because I considered getting it.

 

Go in cases cove and when you get about half way round there is a visitor center . Go left to go out of the park. Go straight to get to Parsons Branch Road. Sorry I don’t have a map on me at the moment but you get the idea

 

Leitner ACS Forged. All aluminum. I have their bed stiffeners with it. Incredible systems. Light and extremely modular. Tough as hell also, I’ve WAY exceeded the capacity with 18’ lumber and it carried it awesome.

We became dealers for them last year. A good friend told me only carry products from companies you believe in and use. Some of the best business advice I’ve ever got! We’re still small, I’m picky

 

Appreciate it!

 

Cleaned up my inner rubber panels in side the engine bay. Hacked em up pretty good when I initially did the install. Dremel tool to the rescue.

 

that's a lot of work. i need to do mine, but don't have it in me.

 

Thank you!

 

Hauled another load of belongings from commercial storage (almost empty) to our shed. Located long-lost tools!

 

I have used AVS on my last 7 trucks. Mostly on windows. Had too many rub issues years ago with hood deflectors. Probably more advanced now over the last 6 years. Some were the stick-on window styles back in the old days. Had them 5.5 years on my 2016 Sport windows and were as good as new when I sold that truck. 1st thing I put on every truck. Have them on 3 of my personal vehicles today.

 

Thanks for the review! I wholeheartedly believe in the statement; The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten. as well. If I find myself in the market for a rack I'll definitely be looking at this one!

 

Never. I bought it to avoid the body rolls. Mine is a strictly road use only vehicle. Or maybe I should say, mine was a strictly road vehicle, it had catastrophic engine damage

 

Replaced crummy chipping fake chrome cup holder trim with a Meso Customs ring and replaced a banged up shift knob. My center console is clean for the first time in awhile!

 

Talons Garage cat shield to go with my new TRD skid plate. Pretty straight forward install:


Also washed the truck today. I just use Mothers Carnauba Wash & Wax, nothing fancy for my truck.
