    Installed some ebay step rails. Not bad for $100. I lined them with a couple coats of rattle can bedliner before installing them.

    The delay could just be that they are trying to get through on the phone to get the background check done. I was at the range a couple of weeks ago and the owner was on hold inline for over 4 hrs just for a background check. Firearms according the owner wss the number 1 seller over everything else right now.

    They are American Racing ar172 17x9 w/ -12 offset. 285/70/17 k02s. I have a 2.5" lift and did the cab mount chop / moved the front fender liner forward about an inch.

    When I was younger, I left the oil cap off of my '91 3.0 in Tok, AK. I made it way further than I should have before I noticed, and paid waaaaay too much for this redbull on the Alcan to fab this up....

    MN, there is such a high demand right now that background checks are delayed, and the shelves were empty. They are limiting ammo purchases too.

    On my 2011 I brought my Tacoma in to a dealership for one of my Tacoma Care oil changes. 500 miles or so later I was adding windshield washer and noticed my oil cap off and sitting in the engine compartment.
    Very first thing I checked from then on after they changed the oil. Done with my free (? Nothing is free) oil changes so thankfully that will never happen again now that I'm doing my own on my 2017. Your post had me remember this. Heads up everyone, it happens!

    Don't worry firearms are still being manufactured as their employees are deemed essential!

    I cut the box tube at 55 inches, then I used rivet nuts (the go into a hole like a rivet, then clamp down). The pool noodles come in 52 inches, so they cover perfectly and leave just the ends open.
    Here are the mounts I got, I got the unpainted ones because I was not sure if I would weld or bolt the tube down.

    I also ordered plastic caps for the ends of the tubes to keep things from making a home inside the tube. I also sprayed the hell out of the inside of the tube with fluid film to prevent any rust inside.

    Yeah, though the people at fleet farm never called me back about my background check, and then sold off the gun I was looking at... so I guess ill be waiting a little longer.

    Hard liquor and I don't get along. If you don't handle something well then it's wise not to do it!
    Beer is my friend, hard liquor is not!

    If it makes you feel any better I'm essential / disposable as well.
    I wonder since it's not essential for upper echelon to report to work does that make them nonessential and if so what the hell do we need them for. Can't say more about this but I wish I could.
