LOOKS AWESOME MAN! THANKS FOR COMING THROUGH!

 

Mounted up the 3tpam from expedition essentials plus ram mount for phone and a CB holder. Love the way it turned out, fairly simple install.

 

Thanks, Chief!

 

Panel installed. Square box drawn will be access for super secret stuff so don't tell anyone. And the compressor location.

I made the platform from 1/2” cabinet grade plywood. I purchased a 2’ x 4’ piece at Lowe’s. The carpeting is a rubber backed carpet runner also from Lowe’s. The legs are made from dowel rod and they are 11” long. The foam backing is just something I had laying around and I only used it to protect the seats. I installed 5/8” inside diameter rubber hose where the platform contacts the back of the center console and also on the edges of the center section in the rear.

Here are the dimensions. I don’t show the mitered corners on the template, but from memory I believe I cut 3” off.

 

I recognize that parking lot. Small world

 

Picked up these guys yesterday off of FB marketplace and ceramic coated them today

 

Bought a lot of stuff for it.

 

Awhile back, I got a free TRD Off Road gas tank skid. Ordered the threaded tank straps off Amazon and finally got everything installed today.
Took under an hour with basic hand tools. Used a ratcheting cargo strap to hold the tank up while I replaced one metal strap at a time. Pretty easy to do and it only set me back $60~ Worth it for SR/SR5/TRD Sport and Limited owners are between fire roads and light off roading for now.

 

Forgive my ignorance, what is it and what does it do?

 

I don't have the JBL system

 

Xmas tree pick up day!

 

Got a lot done this weekend:

• Removed the skids and gave the frame a good wash
• Painted all the trail scars on skids, sliders, frame, and rear axle
• Oil change Mobil 1 0W30 and Toyota filter
• Replaced cabin filter Fram P/N CF10374 with activated carbon
• Greased the front driveshaft with Lucas Xtra NGLI #2
• Treated all the side windows with Aquapel P/N 47101
• Flattened a dent in the BudBuilt engine skid with the Toyota two-ton press:

Tomorrow will be undercoating with CRC cosmoline and Fluid Film

 

Christmas lights installed.

 

Love those black wheels on the white truck. Very sharp!

 

Ordered these from @Mobtown Offroad the other day:

I've had my eyes on them for a while. Looks like a fairly simple and straightforward upgrade. Guess we'll see when they get here.

 

Thanks
