What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

The drawer is really nice but it’s pretty unprotected. I built a box out of abs and reflective bubble wrap

 

I can see why they built the box in the pic I just added above now.

 

im doing mine now, what did you use to secure the fridge slide to the bed?

 

I have something similar to this

$137 US Cargo Control L Track Tie Down System, Includes (2) USA Made 4-Foot Black Anodized Aluminum L-Track and (4) Black Single Stud O-Ring Fittings, Trailer Tie Down System for Trailers and Truck Beds

but I bought it direct from the website. That’s in my truck bed. I used one of the bolts as opposed to eyelets to secure a bracket I built with extruded aluminum and 2” aluminum stock for the fridge.

 

Can I ask where you got the dash pad and how well does it fit, does it sit into place or is it held down with sticky stuff?

 

All that you need now are some FJ Cruiser cup holders

Available on Amazon 2 for $10.00

 

I was contemplating installing some of these. Going camping this weekend, so i'll see how it works without the cupholders. i sleep with the tailgate down and have to crawl/walk on it so i would hate to pop one of these in there, and kneel on it causing it to break.

Obviously rigorous testing with a 30pack will be conducted. Pics to follow.

 

I like your style.... Perhaps with the remnants from your panel, you could create something like this.

 

Depending on the depth you might be able to put the stainless steel cup holders in like we have in our boat.

Low actually, just under 12,800 miles. Well below the Toyota recommended 30,000 for normal driving.
I had heard that factory fill was often a little low due to the various diffs they put in. A little less than 4qts came out of a 4.2qt diff, with a long drain time.
I was disappointed with the quality of oil that came out considering its lack of abuse.
I'm in the process of going through and checking/changing out all the factory oils as a precautionary measure.

 

Have not set it up yet, but found a right line gear tailgate canopy on clearance at fleetfarm last night. Should make a good addition for tailgating for my daughters dance team.

 

Would you want them draining into the tailgate though?

 

Is not hard to either seal the hole or use the fittings they come with that accept plastic pipe to drain them externally like you're supposed to on the boat.

 

i would be getting the solid bottom, no drain. There's enough room for the deep/standard style cupholder, but I will likely get shallow ones. easier to clean out.

 

No today, but yesterday some early morning trail action. Great views.

 

153!!

 

This weekend I strengthened the joint of my tailgate auto lock by adding a cotter pin. It was always jumping off that little nub.

 

This screw must be cemented in, 2nd or 3rd tool I've broken trying to loosen it.

 

I have learned from disassembling several laser printers with 100s of tiny screws that you should try tightening 1st in order to break the seal on the bolt or screw.
