A beaut!

 

thanks! she is a massive handful haha

 

Know how that goes! Have two 80lb lap hounds lol

 

haha ya she likes to jump into my lap when im playing games in that chair (non vr games) it never looks to comfy compared to well the floor or her dog pillow buuut she likes it so i deal lol

 

my 2 crazy good pups

 

good lookin pups! what breeds are they?

 

The black one is mostly lab mix and other is mostly pointer mix. Both were rescues. Getting a bit old now.

 

ahhh i gotcha how old are they or is it more or less unknown?

 

Lab is 10, other we figure to be 11

 

ah i gotcha ya getting a bit old but i imagine they still got a good amount of energy to drive you wild somedays lol

 

The lab is still crazy lol. Other has slowed a good bit from hip issues.

 

haha that makes sense tbh! dang that sucks!

 

Me too.

 

She's gotten bigger since I last seen a picture of her.

Beautiful lookin' sweetie pie.

 

A better picture of my boy to see how big he is. Was taken last month and I’m sure there’s another growth spurt since.

 

KC area question. I tried to take the bed rails off my new ‘22 for a tonneau cover install. The factory made them so over tight it took all my strength to pop them loose with a socket. The very last one stripped. Based on other threads here it is not uncommon . Bolt/screw extractor didn’t work. Went to left handed drill bits and the bit broke off and is lodged in there. I am out of ideas, tools, skills. Suggestions?

 

Probably won't hurt you to leave it in there. I guess it depends on the tonneau cover, my cover works fine with the bed rail system still in place.

A pic might help

 

Pic added for what it’s worth. I have to remove them. The Bakflip MX4 brackets go in those holes and the bed rail reattaches to a lower connection on the tonneau brackets. It might be stable enough to stay tight with 4 of the 5 so I could potentially ruin the bolt casing and be ok. But I can’t get the damn thing out to begin with.

 

That is one rough bit there. I destroyed one taking them out to install my bedside moly panels, but I ended up using the middle bottom bolt from the side bin as a replacement since the side bin doesn't really need six bolts crank down to hold it in.

 

I don’t know where to start now. The bit that broke off is sticking out but I can’t get it out. What the hell can I do? I put it in this thread wondering if anyone knows a local shop that can do something.
