*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

@Willbeck this thread could use your build....

 

I clearly wasn't looking hard enough... id be good on the driver side but the passenger side bolt sheared itself off and I have yet to drill it out still... so id probably just weld it all together and call it a fooking day!

 

One of the best things I've bought was a screw extractor kit from Home Depot. Seems like when I, or anyone else, needs one it's always at the most inopportune time, nice to have it on hand.

I have every tool known to man at my disposal being in the Coast Guard... Im just too lazy to fix it since its not a huge deal lol.

 

See above pics In this thread pages back for how it looks hanging off the bed...I think this is 76" so over a foot off the bed.

Finally joined the family of RTT owners thanks to a fellow TW member @phillstill . Can't wait to get out there and put it to use!

The recent talk about the spreading of the bed does have me some what concerned though. This is not something I considered before. I will be adding corner braces for the front but how does the back ones work? Does anyone have any experience with them?

 

It's a simple L-shaped bracket that installs in both rear corners. Look at it on the Total Chaos website, search for "tacoma bed stiffeners". Mine works very well, and the installation was simple.

 

My dog couldn't wait for me to buy one, so he got his own ...

 

That's F'n awesome! Where did you find that at?

 

It's actually a portable collapsible dog house that we picked up at Ocean City Job Lot for $30 in Franklin, MA a few years back. My dog loves it.

It's named a Dawg-E-Tent and comes in small/medium/large:

Lucky Dog Medium Dawg-e-Tent 24"Lx24"Wx35"H

After a couple of years of use now my screen door zippers are starting to get hard to open/close. Is anybody else noticing this too? Is there anything I can put on them or clean them with to help?

 

I love Westies!

 

Have you tried running a candle along the open zippers ?

The wax frees them up.

We have two. Tavish & Maisy, a.k.a. Toothache & Migraine.

 

I've had three: Aston Martin, Mercedes, & Rocky. I want to get another but I travel too much right now.

 

I've had good luck with this stuff for various other zippers: https://www.mcnett.com/m-essentials/zip-care#29116

 

OK @Cascadia Tents

my only complaint about my Bachelor I got a year ago this month.. and have used often and love... is the condensation mat. so.. damn.. frustrating.

but.. I see you now have the upgraded one that is more rigid. I need that.. is it on sale currently as well? discounted?

 

Thought about the wax but was worried about putting something on them that would collect more dust. If Weesa says to use wax I'll us wax.

I'll look into this stuff also.

Thanks everyone.

 

Yes.

They have a moving sale going on - everything at 20% off

 

beautiful.. so about $85 or so for the 48".
