What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Might try using some rubber feet that are used for chair legs. Cheap and sold per 4. Just a thought.

Edit: Late to the party on this one.

You could also check seller out dangoodbuy on ebay to see if he has any vinyl tube caps that will fit that coupling. My goto guy for caps, plugs, grommets ect.

 

It's a

$257 MaxxHaul 70423 Aluminum Truck Rack, 26" Uprights, 70" Crossbars, 400 lb Capacity, No-Drill Mount, Heavy Duty Bed Rack for Pickup Trucks, Ladder, Lumber, Kayak, Surfboard Transport

MaxxHaul 70423 that I got from Amazon. Had to mod it a little to work around the OEM bed cover latches. Secured it to the accessory rails with Unistrut beam clamps from Home Depot. Will probably add bed stiffeners and a metal strap to them from the back of the rear rack mount as the accessory rails only grab one of the mounting points at the rear. I only throw it on a few times a year as needed but it's sure nice to have. For hauling these 16 footers I "borrowed" a couple 2x6x12 from Home Depot (borrowed as in they will be returned) to "extend" the carrying surface to support the length.

 

Welcome to TW Jake!

 

Yes it’s just bolts. Remove the front air dam and put bolts back in so you don’t misplace them. Takes about 2 minutes with a ratchet

 

CMC, and shock tab re-relocation...

 

Great looking truck! From where did you get the grill?

 

Installed the CaliRaised bed stiffeners after @tonered recommended their design. Been wanting some for my truck as I've run a camper shell for almost 3 years. Install process was easy, and I did notice a little less bed shake over my gravel road after installing. A little concerned about rusting because apparently CaliRaised has a reputation for that. Fingers crossed but love them so far! It was also a good excuse to do a deep cleaning in the bed. I haul my dogs back there and can say that the amount fur and pawprints was unbelievable. Used a drill brush with some SimpleGreen.

 

Looking good!

Thanks for the shout out!

 

Thanks Josh. Unfortunately ours is the ARB connector so I will need this more expensive part. Bit cold this morning when I have to air back up (currently @ 35 psi, run pavement @ 50/55)

overnight snow found us this morning. We’re on the Hartnet road, Capital Reef National Park, Utah. 10 weeks into our trip

 

"Like"...but jealous. And "10 weeks into your trip". Even more friggn jealous. Retired? None of my bidness. Enjoy though!! You reporting this trip on here anywhere?

Where did you get the switches?

 

Yes sir! My wife and I retired a bit early and for a couple of years planned to take our taco around the world. We’re currently waiting until the borders open up, hopefully this spring and we’ll ship it to Europe. but until then we’re poking around the west being driven south by winter.

We have several sites where we’re doing trip reports. At our web page at www.roguewanderers.com, on Instagram at 2roguewanderers, and at Tacomaworld at https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/taking-a-tacoma-around-the-world-need-advice.585792/page-47

 

thanks John, just did!

 

Kudos to you and your wife Sir. I'll be taking a look at your pages and drooling soon. And safe travels where ever y'all go.

8 years away for me. May not make it of of Tejas for a while but lots of exploring to do.

 

General Grabber A/Tx in 285/75r16, love them so far! Quiet on the road, look awesome, and have tackled every trail I've thrown at them.

 

Most came from AirOnBoard. The SPDT A/B came from anytimebackupcamera.com, and then the Meso puddle pod switch. And of course the holders are both Meso. I also have a couple that were custom made from ch4X4.com, then swapped with the AirOnBoard for the light blue, but those aren’t in the pictures

 

Added a Lambtek Innovations winch cutoff package.
