You can still get one!

 

I wonder if its worth getting two? One to open and build, and one to leave wrapped and untouched.

 

Thanks! Install was super easy. Accomplished it solo with help of a blanket in a short amount of time. This is a Clamber rack, I was surprised by the quality for the price and the ease of the instructions. Everything was packaged great and the welds, while not pristine, were also not terrible either. It came with handles and really beefy awning mounts

 

damn. always jelly of that canada spec. beautiful truck dude

 

Me too. That is one shiny AC.

 

After rounding off 3/4 of the TRD skid oil filter access panel Allen bolts, I replaced them with good stainless steel hardware. Similar metals and whatnot so I'll check it with every 5k oil change. I don't see it being a huge issue with them removed that frequently though.

 

I thought they were torx. That could have been a contributing factor to their demise.

 

Either they were Allen or the prior owner stripped them already, very possible lol

 

I'm not sure how important this step is but I think I did that when I installed mine - just to make sure it was done per instructions.

 

I don’t remember leaving it open for 24 hours. But hammering the seal with a mallet. It’s stuck pretty good. Fills a lot of gaps for dust.

 

I still have my box from three years ago. It’s where I keep the plastic one..

 

Never-Seize is your friend here. Ask for it by name! '-)

 

Finally got around to installing my Prinsu rack on my ARE Shell.

 

I'm sure if these plastic oil caps weren't over torqued by the gorillas from the dealer when they do the free oil change, they would outlast our trucks.

 

Nice cool evening, old school wash and wax-on/ wax-off

 

Did you have

to replace the rivnuts also?

 

Thanks for the info!
