    Still liking your tonneau cover? I'm about to pull the trigger on one myself.

    Ain't that the truth. I don't think I ever had passengers in my company one, back seats were always down.

    Yes, I do like the cover. I had to make a tiny adjustment after we got a sideways downpour (3 inches in an hour) - I only got a couple sprinkles in the bed that came in at the tailgate sides themselves. Took a duck-drowning rain to do it, and it was gone when I checked on it later. I folded the cover back and slid it to the front stops (about an extra 1/4"), and now it's covering more of the tailgate end. There are some adjustments you have to do to get it lined up perfectly, but since you can take the whole thing off and put it back on without any tools they are very easy adjustments to make.

    I really like how solid it is. My son tried to pry it up with his fingers and it never moved. It also can't fold itself backwards - the folds only go one way, so you can't try to pop it in the middle. With the tailgate locked, it's secure.

    I also get compliments on how it looks. I was hoping I'd have been able to get the factory installed one with TACOMA stamped on it, but this one is so secure I'm kinda glad Toyota stopped putting them on long beds until they fixed their supplier issues. I'm curious who the long bed cover supplier even is, as I've only seen the factory covers on short beds.

    Thanks, thats exactly what I wanted to hear!

    I didn't even know they had stopped offering them on LB's. I have yet to a factory cover in person, it seems most of the ones around here are being delivered in DCSB 4x2.

    Morning!

    I saw that, but then I also saw they didn't exist for the Tacoma. Maybe in a year or two - I've already installed a set of gloss white from @rrentrop.

    I am strongly considering derping the mesh parts of the grill in red and white vertical stripes. My wife thinks I'm having a second adolescence.

    I'm 99% sure the F150 Harley Davidson edition has died off.

    @CaptAmerica it's good to see the new wheels. I noticed your waiting posts the most when things on the 2016 started rolling. Good to see what you wanted finally showed up!

    The "real" Captain America drove/rode whatever the Army, then SHIELD (courtesy Tony Stark) gave him. That's being taken care of soon. For the record, I've seen SHIELD with Acuras, FJ Cruisers, H2s, H1s, and a flying '63 Corvette.

    Captain America uses whatever is at his disposal, and this time he's rolling in a Taco.

    Yea, I think 14 was the last one. They were way over-priced. Now it's called the "Limited". and well over $50K. still over-priced...

    I thought I saw a grill insert that had tacoma in the center and had the stars and stripes like that tailgate insert.

    I saw that too. I think derping the stripes is a cheaper alternative at the moment. I might switch the grill out in a few years though.
