What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Threw some spots underneath, maybe two more in the front?

 

Oooh more lights!
Don't give me anymore ideas. haha

 

HELL YEAH! Looks great man!

 

Went to the grocery store this morning and this pulled in at the same time

 

Nope, the difference is between a crawl control truck with an electric brake booster, and non crawl control trucks haha.

 

Nice. I'm 300 miles away from 20k myself. Still feels like its a brand new truck.

 

Yup! They have a different cam setup. Vaccum pump motors have a "hollow" cam, electric booster motors have a "solid" cam.

 

Don't want to rain on your parade, but as an engineer, I would like to point out that this design does almost nothing to stiffen the bed sides. The flat horizontal piece has almost no strength at all. It needs a vertical leg to give it some strength. The two little triangular gussets in the corner are the only things providing resistance to your sidewalls spreading.
The Total Chaos design, in my opinion is the best one I have seen, and is really the only one that has the required strength.

 

Patents really don't hold much value for such a small value item. Try sueing someone in China and see how much it costs you. All that happens is if there is any real threat to them is they closeup and open under another name and you have spent way more on legal fees than you will ever collect (if you even can from a someone in China)

 

@stftaco Knurled Etsy knobs arrived yesterday & their great, I hope they last.
Thanks again for the recommendation

 

That makes a lot of sense

 

Looks great!

 

thanks!
they perform a bit better too, I would pass along the recommendation if you haven't already

 

I went with the OEM rav4 knobs this time but have had these before and liked them.

 

those are nice too, why did you change from the Etsy knob, they didn't break did they?

 

No i had the Etsy ones on my 2019 Tacoma and then I sold that truck. With my 2023 I liked how the rav 4 knobs light up

 

Wow what a great and easy upgrade. Much recommended to all.

Is there a plug n play upgrade for the door speakers also?
