    40k miles since install. Torqued to spec for sure when installed. Guess all that off roading doesn’t help.

    Topped off the air in the tires with the 12v air compressor. Bought in case of flats in the boonies, since nearly everywhere charges $$$ for air, it is now a convenient money saver. Hardly takes up any space. If you don't have one, not sure why.

    Do what I did. Dump the 3rd gen and buy another 2nd gen (or 2 like I did). I have had zero regrets and still feel like my 3rd gen was a waste of money, mods and time (owned 5.5 years). The things I initially missed from my 3rd gen (bluetooth, touchscreen, liners, leather, full screen rear camera, navigation) I added to my 2012 and 2008.

    I've had a cheap Tyger tri-fold tonneau on my truck for a few years now and it's holding up well, worth looking into if you're looking for a cheap one.

    This isn't my truck but a 2013 in our shop has a couple check engine light codes for large evap leak and incorrect purge flow. We replaced the purge flow valve and the light stayed off for a couple weeks. It's back on with the same codes. Anyone have thought on it?

    I had that same brand, Tyger, but a one piece tonneau, and it also lasted forever.

    That looks great! I have been thinking of adding the same decal on my super white also.

    Got the ol' girl all purtied up like a prize pig at the county fair. I'll be heading up to Carlisle PA this weekend for the All-Truck Nationals Truck Show and I wanted it looking good. Anyone else going?

    you can attach items to the racking like M.O.L.L.E or PALS compatible pouches.

    wish they sold them individually, most seem to come in a pair, and i think id only want one on the passenger side of my console.

    organized gear mount in an accessible spot without having to pay $200 for overhead interior rack over backseat

    to probably put
    -flashlight
    -pepper spray
    -med kit including or individually
    -NAR CAT7 TQ
    -RATS TQ
    -Narcan
    -Sharpie
    -Chest seal
    -knife
    -who knows what else

    a lot better than shit stacked on itself in a mess to dig through if you need it fast somewhere else like a door pocket
    utilizes otherwise empty space, to have more storage in the truck
    which, given it's small, if you camp with gear, is important


    why would you not get the pair

    I wonder what the best is. Something like CaliRaised. What I've found researching it is:
    -not all have holster clip slots to also have that option
    -many have a big ugly logo instead of a grid. Rather have a grid look like a grid, maybe tiny logo hidden in a corner. Not half of it solid metal to display some sort of bird drawn by a kid that matches nothing else on the truck
    -variance in price; why get a pair for $130 when the next company is $110

    Why is that funny? I carry narcan in all of my big kits. Especially the one in my truck.
