Let's see your frugal DIY mods!

Looks like a good time! I take it all worked as planned. We're planning on going camping next weekend. ..wife wants to take her jeep, but I'm not feeling it. She hates my truck, says it's embarrassing, not really sure what she means

 

sounds like the new wife mod is in order....... "likes the jeep more" thats devil speak.

 

Thanks, it was. Tacoma is much more suited to camping!

 

Lol, that's what I said, she says the exhaust sounds like a hoopdy mobile.

 

HA! My whole truck sounds like a broke down 80's V6 Camaro with 200k on the clock!

 

I've had this car you describe. How does a Taco get to such condition?

 

My truck noises have seemed to multiply the last few months. I think I may have an exhaust leak also.

 

Mine has been making lots of noises too. My rear suspension squeaks, the bedsides rattle, I have a shot UCA bushing, and my throwout bearing is squeaking too. Still no where near as bad as my Camaro was though.

 

SUB'D

 

GREAT idea! Did you use hose safe for drinking water?

 

This water supplying just for cleanup and what not. I used a washing machine hose just because it was cheap and flexable and the right size.

 

Bed organizer. Simple, and cheap. Keeps my gear from sliding around so I only have to strap the tops. And it's easily removable.

 

I like. That last piece, that could make a nice bench seat.

 

Bump

 

I actually installed it purposely for a bench. I'm going to put some padding on it too and probably put a cup holder.

 

Also a head rest and a place to put your feet up too. I am still thinking of a tailgate couch. Haven't had any bright ideas yet though.

 

Made this cargo "net". 20 feet of 5/16 bungee cord and the hooks came to about $14. I still have some hooks to make some longer cords if the net needs to expand more. Also thinking of adding another tie down near the top rear of the bed using existing bolts.

 

^ Spidy net right there

Just ran Moab twice in the last three months. I haven't needed to strap anything down. Bedrug FTMFW.







Including Escalator which in nearly straight up. Like many of the obstacles on Hell's Revenge and Moab for that matter.
This is the climb up Escalator.



Here's a video for more perspective on Escalator. Looking from the top down.

Nothing really slipped or moved at all. Which included a plastic bin for tools, a gas can in a tray, and my ARB fridge. Which I leave between the tailgate and the bed extender.
