What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed the same ones myself. Very satisfied at the price, quality and usability.

 

We have any Yakima rack gurus. Curious to see if cutting a rail for the roof rack to flush with the legs will effect anything

 

Are you talking about cutting the crossbars flush with the towers?
If so as long as you can fit the caps back on the bar it's fine, you just lose mounting space.
On one of my previous vehicles I cut my round bars near flush to the towers and used them for 3 years with no issues.

A bandsaw or hacksaw is the best way to cut the bars.

OR are you asking if you can cut the mounting rails that attach the rack to the topper?

And the spare tire lock now.

There will be no stealing my tailgate or my spare tire.

Did you also get new leaf packs? Shocks? Extended brake lines? U-bolt flip kit?

just finished installing some caliraised led ditch lights. had a small issue with 1 of the lights having a factory defect and I contacted caliraised through email on the weekend (which they are closed) monday morning they got back to me after a few pics of the defect they had a new 1 on the way the next day, got to be the fastest customer service i've experienced in a very long time Thanks Caliraisedled.com

I used some redneck engineering to mount my traction boards and shovel.

 

I dig the heck out of that Road America plate.

 

Yes exactly cutting the bars flush with the towers. Thank you

 

I would gladly pay some one to UNINSTALL mine. Port installed and I did not want it.
Had one on my 2015 and it was a pain.

 

Did you remove the screen protector that came with it? I left mine on knowing that I may have to take it out if I needed to adjust my BeatSonic front camera wiring. I had to figure out how to keep the automatic camera function during low speeds and also be able to turn the front/rear camera on at anytime using the Android headunit camera widgets. If you look closely at the original picture top right corner, you can see a tiny air bubble from the factory screen protector. I guess I'll remove it once I start to really notice it.

 

IMHO, don’t think if it’s a factory spare there would be a lot to worry about. If it’s a full size spare that matches an aftermarket tire and wheel then I get it. My full size spare and fifth wheel reside in the bed. The factory spare is the decoy.

Edit: If that makes sense.

 

I just finished putting on the TruXedo tonneau cover I bought via the Amazon Warehouse. It is missing two small rubber pads which isn’t a big deal. The driver side utility track is another story. I’m not sure what the previous owner had installed but that one track is all out of whack. I had to remove it and use two crescent wrenches to get it so the brackets would slide in. I’m probably going to buy two new tracks because they’re both a bit wonky and not too expensive. Also, after I got the brackets shoved in and tried to install it back on the truck, I learned there is a top and bottom on those.

 

Such a simple little mod, but it makes a huge difference. Installed Toyota RAV4 radio knobs yesterday. The factory ones are terrible. Makes you wonder if any of the engineers actually tried to use them before signing off.

 

Replaced uniballs on upper control arm and spherical bearings on the king shocks
