What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I got a great deal on these custom fabricated low profile bedrack bars. They have welded on flat tabs to mount a tent easily. I found them on facebook marketplace for $75!
I plan to install a 23 zero rtt in the future, but i also got these for hauling plywood etc during our home projects. Im pretty stoked on these. Not hard to install either. I got stainless hex bolts and aluminum rail blocks on Amazon to mount it.

update: i discovered that these are actually “all pro offroad” brand bed bars.

 

I like the low profile of those. Made specifically for the SwitchBack. I wonder if they will make a HD/SE version? Like I need more tie down points!

 

I kind of like them w/o the top plate, but there are a few people on this trip that would like to have it. Shouldn't be any problem though.

 

I installed these on my SE and they also work on the SE hinges.

Did your sliders arrive in decent shape? Assuming you had them delivered. RCI has a Labor Day discount going on right now.

 

“Specifically engineered for the DiamondBack Switchback, the low-profile Anchor Plates are designed to blend seamlessly with your DiamondBack cover, ensuring uncompromised functionality and style.” I’m not familiar with the SD model.

 

Success!
I used my traction boards and set the dial to full Traction Control and walked right out of the sink hole.

 

Where'd you get the Pro grille w/ the LR letters?

 

Sorry that was a typo, you know I meant SE....

Regardless - they work on any cover. What would make them specific to the SE or HD version?

Cleaned the old gal by hand this evening

 

I was quoting the website which states they are specific to the SwitchBack, not the HD/SE. From the website “Not compatible with preexisting Anchor Cleat holes or hinges on DiamondBack HD, SE, 270, or 180.” So yes you could install them on a place where a cleat doesn’t exist just not the existing cleat or hinge holes. That’s the way I understand the description. I saw the OP had mounted one on a hinge plate on his SwitchBack.

 

oh I get it - you'd like to replace the stock anchor cleats for the low profile anchor plates. Yeah unfortunately they use different (smaller) mounting hardware. I only had the side anchor cleats on mine while the front and back was free of any anchors.

Some days I wish all my anchors were lower profile but I sometimes hang stuff on on my cleats which I couldn't do with the low profile ones.

 

Blacked out the TRD on the door emblems and made the Toyota red on the grille. Got the vinyl from TVDVinyl.com

 

Thank you for the info.

 

I did this to my Tacoma today.
Aqua-Taco !!

 

I don't think you're allowed to park there.

 

I have plenty of em. I use my bed almost every single day for something. I put 1900 lbs of river rock in it when it was a week old, so that was the end of the honeymoon. I just wish my bed looked brand new. So every 6 months or so I will spend the time to clean it and spray it down with 303.

 

You should have seen the "handicapped" logo painted on the lake bottom.

 

SwampGate.

Gives me an idea. If I could just lure millionaires into rides in my Tacoma for $250K, I'd have it made...
