What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed BAKFLIP MX4 cover

 

Nice clean look.

 

Absolutely, if only I could figure out where my dash is squeaking from next haha.

 

Heard that. I have a rattle in the headliner that I’m avoiding going after, but there’s one in the dash somewhere that’s making me crazy

 

No noises with mine. Yet.

 

My wife and I took the Tacoma on a little camping trip this weekend. Perfect weather for campfires and snacks.

 

Be kinda nice to leave the kids at home and do this as a date weekend. Especially with a wall tent and wood burning stove.

 

Where did it corrode? I'd like to resolve that before it becomes an issue. The screws? The threaded nuts?

 

My access doors take turns mystery squeaking..

 

I have an intermittent rattle somewhere on the passenger side around the speaker, damn thing never does it when someone is riding with me.

 

The screws,… and this is in Southern California weather… next time I do an oil change, I’ll have to drill them out or modify them somehow.

 

Tested mx4 for water intrusion into bed while washing. To my surprise almost no water made it into to the bed other that at the tailgate from the pressure washer or garden hose. We had a light rain earlier in the week and I did see some water on the sides of the bed, not enough to get anything wet. So now I have to decide whether it’s worth pulling side rails to seal. Mayde I will wait until we get enough rain to make the roads really wet and see how much gets in.

 

Personally, I never load anything into there that I wouldn't be comfortable with getting wet even with the cover. I also utilize Rubbermaid bins for storage when camping which works great for keeping food dry.

 

Good to know, thanks. I'll remove mine while they're still new and replace them with SS. I did spray the threads with WD40 before I put them in but I'd feel better with SS now. Tnx!

 

I recently had to remove my old one that was going to crap. Where did you get yours?

You forgot the rake.

 

My glovebox/passenger door, can pinpoint that spot. just makes the truck seem 20 years old.

 

Whenever someone rides with me, after they get out the seat belt is twisted 90 degrees and makes a rattle until I flip it so it lays flat.
Hope it’s something simple for you!

 

I've had the MX4 on my truck for a year. The two main places I have had water get in was at the front of the bed (they give some soft rubber tabs for the edges of the front rail which help tremendously) so look for any little gaps there. Also around the tailgate - this isn't from the cover but from gaps around the tailgate. I used a tailgate seal (helps with dust also) and some of the front rail weatherstripping in the MX4 kit (that you don't need for the 3rd Gen) to seal where the top edges of the tailgate meet the sides of the bed. The high pressure wash wand at the car wash can also squeeze some water in. So it's not fully water or dust proof but what gets in has not been an issue for me.
