What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Where from?

 

metal bad

 

Nothing to exciting except for a trip to Home Depot to get some supplies to paint my new gate. Fun little jog in the taco but the painting and masking off everything not so much lol.

 

You beat me to it.
However, I believe that the one from 4wp has been discontinued after they were bought out.

 

Did you check out their new wedge camper?

 

Hasn't been an issue for me in the 4 years I've had the truck. Had black aluminum ones, then silver, now these.

 

... .. yes

 

That’s an overpass waiting to happen…

 

Oh I wasn’t aware that one went the way of their hidden bed stiffeners! Thanks for the heads up. Back down to 3 options
When searching the 4wp site, that bumper is listed as “on backorder”, but when you click the link it says “product temporarily unavailable”.
At least it looks like they aren’t taking peoples money for the discontinued product, unlike the bed stiffeners

 

they can get corroded and wont come off......in some areas

 

Unfortunately they sold the last one

 

Did you install the TRD air accelerator as well?

 

I want to see the gate. I like gates

 

True.

 

Hauled some sheet goods for a buddy. Stayed up to 2am helping him framing and flooring his garage loft. Also helped him with his beer surplus.

 

Like it? - Yes.
Does it block the view out of the window? - I'll say it alters your view, not block it. You're looking through the metal mesh and over the top edge. Not a deal breaker. Besides, if you strap down a bunch of stuff on the cover (camping/hunting/fishing gear, dead animals, building supplies, your MIL's old sofa etc.) you ain't looking out the back anyway. In NC it's ok if you have door mirrors on both sides of your vehicle. Check your local laws.
Did you need to get stronger gas pistons? - No. It does add weight to the cab panel and you have to assist the panel to raise it. But you have to hold the panel with one hand anyway to bypass the anti-fly stop. Once it is in the fully open position the struts hold it open.
And I bought my DB to carry stuff on it, esp when the bed if full of other stuff. Like bags of concrete, tools, stuff you don't want getting wet. No need for the utility trailer with a small load. Takes the stress out of wondering if a piece of lumber is going to come sliding through the back window.

 

Thanks for the input. Guess it’s time to pull the trigger.

 

I've ordered lots from Extreme Terrain over the years- good prices and service.

Gas mileage has already gone up according to my dash computer.
