What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

If you can post the design sheets, even rough-drawn, others can make their own copy.

 

Sure, they want to/need to make a profit, and a better spread helps them make more. But I think it's less nefarious than that.

Any dealer/broker makes money on transactions. If people are buying and selling, and they are pairing the buyer and seller, they make money. If people aren't buying/selling, they are out of work. It's why Realtors, stock brokers, and car dealers always say it's a good time to buy or sell. They just want to keep things moving so they can keep earning. I must frustrate them given that I tend to drive our cars to 200k miles + and have lived in the same house for 29 years.

 

Jayzuz Mike!

You need to install a dumperdog insert
Quick and easy way to get your tools out.

 

Hah!
I freaking LOVE the rocking chair attachment!!
Very inspiring!

 

I washed my truck and vacuumed the interior. It is more of a road princess at the moment.

 

yeah, i'm working on that one as well. problem is, i can't do anything the easy way.

That would be too much weight. When I put the topper on I pulled out my packrat tool box to eliminate some weight that tool box weighs 330 lbs empty and it wasn’t empty.

 

That gets his bed a rocking.

 

I wish I had a 6’ bed, but I manage to utilize my 5’ bed pretty well.

 

Have you seen these? Not sure you'd be able to cram enough stuff to utilize the drawers, but it's an idea.

The decked boxes aren’t much lighter than my packrat and I like my box better for work. The decked boxes are better for recreational use.

 

Thanks, it's one of my favorite little things.

 

How hard were these to install? How long did it take you and how much of your dash do you need to take apart?

 

I got all my info off of the Bambeds.com and the bambeds thread on here. I’m not 100% confident my guesstimates are going to work when I put the topper on as far as placing them in and out, I might have to take out the corners a bit more. I used 2 sheets of 3/4 sanded plywood at $55 each. A $19 jigsaw, circular saw and router. Split the 4x8 sheets into 2x8 sheets, cut 3 of them 56.3/4”x24” the extension is then narrowed to about 53” to fit thru the tailgate. The legs are like 10.5”x6” notched 3/4”x1” for 9.3/8” lift off the tailgate.

Figuring out the rockers attachments took some took some time! My sketch it too sketchy to share at the moment! I zoomed in on the IPad used a framing square to find the pitch (like 63/65* degrees maybe?) of the back board from the seat, and used a paper with lines to scale 1” increments to transfer what seemed like a 1000 points of reference to get the measurements then sketched a pattern on cardboard! I used a remaining scrap plywood 39”x24” to cut out the 2 pieces I think.

all good to each their own, they work better than intended and I like the flare out to keep down mud/rocks off the sides. Were considerably less expensive than the C4s. Thanks for taking a look

 

Eibach TRD Pro front lift springs, ICON RXT option 2 rear leaf packs installed. I put plastic leaf spring liners between each spring and coated with teflon slray lubricant, so hopefully no squeaks for a good while.

 

Went back to TRD PRO Tails.
The aftermarket wasn’t for me.

 

I did some wet sanding to fix some mediocre paint work, it's not going great at the moment.

 

That's awesome!

 

Got it back from the detailer shop, paint correct and ceramic coat, looks gooood
