    Yes. And I'd say age and rust. It's a New England truck I bought last December. Factory UCA's with over 100k on them. S**t happens

    Tore another sidewall on the Patagonias but had an awesome weekend. Sidewall still cost less than @EatSleepTacos ripping his exhaust off.

    Picked up the truck from the shop. I may have trimmed too much on the flares.

    What do you think?

    Still needs an alignment and I break in. Caught a cold this weekend so it’ll have to wait til I get better.

    Fender flares are fine. It's the rubber that needs fixing. Need some 44's.

    Another oil change in the books.

    Not this weekend but a couple weeks back, cut down a sheet of 3/4" PT plywood that I had leftover from another project. Made 2/3 of BamBed setup based on @BamBeds design he posted up here https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/hello-people-that-sleep-in-tacomas.755356/#post-26921304.

    Its nowhere near as nice as the BamBeds, but I just needed something to get the job done. I don't camp in the truck, but this has been super useful in keeping my work gear and misc truck stuff organized and out of the way.

    Thanks! I was surprised at how sturdy the 3/4" plywood was. I've been lurking your posts and was inspired by the setup. It is quite a good design you put together.

    Looks good. Once you get some bigger tires on there it'll fill it in. I'm rolling 33's and since the fender trim they look tiny.

    Those are 35s. I might get some bushwhacker flares and trim them a little less.
