What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I see your anti-theft device is working well

 

Ordered the BakFlip MX4. Seemed like a decent one

 

Installed the ajt 4x4 knob and the P&P kit for the 2WD low range.

 

Looks good with that blue

 

How is it through various conditions you ever regret having it ? I had 20 and 35% on my Chevy and it was only tough at night when it rained. 5% seems very dark though

 

Yeah I want to do that and get grey trd letters. Did you tape off the letters before spraying it?

 

Did you have to drill through the case?

 

Holding up well for me 2 years later. Not the most secure and not water tight, but for the price it was the best option for me and I didn't expect it to be impenetrable or waterproof.

 

That’s nice! I’m still unsure if I should get the prinsu or the alpha

 

Yeah, if someone wants to rip it off they are going to no matter what regardless of the cheap little locks that are on most covers. As far as water tight as long as most things are dry im good with it

 

Oh yeah, it only let's a little water run down the insides of the bed but that water moves through the channels in the bed out of the bed pretty easily. Anything short of stacks of paper stays really dry back there even in bad rain.

yes...1/4' carriage bolts from the bottom, and wing nuts on top. Holds up well, minimal wind noise. Having the struts on the case when you open it on top is nice to have.

 

Hit 4k today. 20 months later and still breaking her in. It's been a good 4k though.

 

I was reading install instructions and they always stress me out. Find a couple vids online that made it a lot easier. Also, a thread where they used some RTV sealant on the seams to prevent some of the water from coming in. Might try that depending on how bad the intrusion is

 

Installed TRD center caps.

 

I know the feeling

 

no I removed the letters by heating up the double sided adhesive then reinstalled using double sided gorilla mounting tape. So far no chipping but new install and time will tell.

 

few hundred thousand more to go
