What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Bring to me if you can't get them installed.

 

11th hour add on before my road trip. The Header T-rail arrived and got it and my recovery boards mounted. Mounts are custom ones I made for when I had my Crosstrek's roof rack, and transferred them to my Tacoma.









Will likely redesign it to be lower down, but keep the same threaded holders and locking knobs.

 

Nice setup, Did you buy and repurpose those mounts or fabricated yourself? How do the mounts connect to the t-rail? I used t slot nuts on my setup (below)

 

Designed the mount itself on TinkerCAD back during the lockdowns, and sent the design to SendCutSend. Then for the Crosstrek, I got 1/2in flat stock, bent it at a 45 degree angle and used U bolts and light bar mounts to attach them.

On the Tacoma, T-slot nuts which thankfully were wide enough to use the bolts that came with them (though they're crap because atleast three of them are likely to crossthread) and bolted them in. I'll likely redesign the mount so that the slot would be above the top most board post reduce the overall size the mounts are to be a tiny bit lighter. But this will likely happen after I save up for a Decked setup to see how much room I have to play with.

 

Updates coming along nicely:

what size tires and wheels are those?

 

265/75R16 BFG KO2

16” x 8” Pacer

 

Looking for some sort of box or something for the tailgate end of the truck bed to put 5 gallon bottle of water in (for just a couple times a.month for my gym), groceries, and other random shit. All i find are boxes costing 400 bucks, or fabric options that are half the width of the bed.

 

The greatest reveal of all time, version 3?

 

Lowes has these bins in many sizes/ prices. I keep one in my truck for anything that I need to keep dry since my cover lets in a bit of water so cloths, electronics, or to keep stuff organised.

 

It takes a little time to acquire everything and get it installed. Also, I'm indecisive and second guessing everything along the way.

 

Fabricate a crate together with some lumber?

 

New TRD skid plate

 

Everything…

 

I am unclear about whether or not that is a TRD off road

 

Added a Bob Ross air freshener.

 

It’s happening!! King 2.5’s front and rear with adjusters.

 

I have the same looking tote under my BakFlip...Rural King had stacks of them at Christmas time for cheap!

 

V2 installed.

 

Go straight to V3
