What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Been a minute since I've logged into this site to save some money!

Built a ski rack in my long bed out of t-slot extrusion with inspiration from https://www.reddit.com/r/ToyotaTaco...de_a_diy_snowboardski_rack_for_the_bed_of_my/


Ordered all parts from tnutz precut and assembled. Had to cut some extra material to get the 10 series to fit into one of the tracks in the bed liner itself but that was minor. Attached to the bedrails using Hondo garage twist in nuts.

Gave myself a little extra space for the James Baroud ladder, a crate, and holding some camping propane.

Fits two sets of skis on rubber, can hold poles on the upper section as well! $130 or so all told!

 

Hmmm, coming here to save money? Maybe I've been doing it all wrong lol.

 

My bad other way around! Haven't logged in TO save money! No new toys as of late anyways

 

Where did you get a new grill? You paint it?

 

New floor mats



Thanks to this group I have a problem. Haha

 

Looks nice; I see you have the long bed. It would be easy to lock them on with a cable too. Mine have to go diagonally in the SB but I have a tonneau so they are protected.

 

perfect! thanks!

 

the top shelf area of that extruded rail is begging for additional accessories. what with all the money you saved logging in today!

 

Not even 10k miles on them and got a surface street flat. Got punctured by something.

Damn!

 

This’ll be an interesting ride home. Don’t worry, I’m taking it slowly.

 

I didn’t know the 2022 came with a quick disconnecting front sway bar

 

Bought some overpriced black round things. but for real Im a Wildpeaks guy (bc they used to be affordable) and now the price difference is so negligible that I went with the bfg's.

 

Essential Mods:

 

added a shovel and axe so they stay in one place.
Since I had stuff on the bed rail had to remove the T-nuts so I could slide more T-nuts in.
When I was done of course I found the Hondo T-nuts that can be inserted without having
to slide them in from the end. A good thing to have if you have lots of stuff on the rails

 

while I was at Hondo Garage I picked up some of their radio knobs

 

Installed an AMP bed extender. Hated having to drill into the truck for the brackets but came out pretty nice. Bought "used" online and received one that was brand new. I'm guessing someone returned it without ever trying to install it.

 

Finished the rear seat covers!

 

Added a set of two quick fists to my shell. Now just need to wait for my Fiskars shovel to arrive.

 

Painted the stock grill flat black. Couldn’t stand the chrome ring surround!

Anyone find a decent substitute for the tss recall solved with the foam patch? I had to remove it and replaced it with a small square of sound mat for now.

 

Awesome idea!
