What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I was thinking carabiner as well, but you probably want to make sure that whatever you do that the back panel doesn't rattle if the method of securing is too loose. That would drive me crazy.

 

That’s pretty sexy to me

 

Ugh, I never even thought about the rattling. A bungee strap between the two would work, to. The wooden weddings would probably be the quietest. But the railway spikes are pretty snug, so I haven't heard any noise so far.

 

Thanks! It'll be sent out in the morning!

 

Nice dude. What kind of dirt bike is he riding?

 

Never thought about that, I’ll have to hit up Fabzone and see if people have had any issues.

 

Dads a Harley guy. That’s my wr450f supermoto

 

Added a 100w solar panel.

 

Added Tough Country neoprene seat covers front and rear. Nothing fancy but they’ll do as we often jump in and out with wet waders when fly fishing rivers and move to a new spot.
This video was helpful but doesn’t show what actually happens under the front seats.

Navigating the straps around the mechanisms and cables under the front seats was time consuming. I can see why others removed the seats to install the covers. I wanted to make sure that I liked them before I go through that effort. I got them to work around the electric driver seat controls as shown in the video.
The rears were much easier. You do lose access to the seat belt buckle pockets in the rear original seats so you’ll have to fish them out after folding the seats back up. The straps on the rears run across the hard back surface. It will be left to be seen how they hold up over time after placing items on them.
Overall OK for the price.

 

no offense intended, but you're in california. i know fabricators out there that literally leave stuff as bare metal because nothing rots. but for the rest country..

in the midwest, well, this was my last truck, and part of the reason i'm very happy to have a composite bed. keep in mind, the bed was fully primed and painted in the factory...

 

He’s in San Diego….near the ocean…..which is saltwater. Any untreated metal rusts quickly in that environment. I live on the coast also and my LCA’s need to wire brushed, treated, primed and painted already (under 3 years old).
With that said, I know you guys got it way worse than we do. They should make these things with carbon fiber frames.

 

flip, but get the Lomax

was the fan hard to install? what did you wire it to?

 

How about some rubber door stops?

 

yuppppp.

 

Disagree but that’s also because I have a cap on order so the actual space is limited regardless.

 

You don’t think they are well built?

 

I wouldn’t trust those spacers, look how much space you have left in the nut. I had some and I returned them due to safety concerns.

 

How long does it take to setup the bed tent?

 

5 minutes or so. You just unroll it over the bed, attach the straps to the underside of the bed and put in the poles.
