    I used a 1.25" pipe and snapped that old lock right off. Those things are completely useless if it's that easy to bust 'em. My hitch assembly is getting rusted so I plan to take it off this summer sometime and paint it up.

    yup. Like bike locks...they protect you from the impulsive/opportunist, not from the pro.

    Thing is even with a good lock, that shackle is simply threaded on there....

    unfortunately we can say that about a lot of the sh*t we put on our trucks. I was looking at my softtopper last night thinking that any dude with a 9/16" wrench and a corolla could be on their way in about 8 minutes with no damage done to the top....

    :notsure:

    Yep, been there too. Not my wife, but my son...and not crying so much as "Dad....I fucked up....."

    I told him later that from now on those phone calls start with "Dad...I'm OK, but................" Anything after the "but" we can deal with later...do not ever call me and start it like that again lol.

    Thanks but, I already measured my wife’s 4 Runner and it’s different. Same width and height but the thickness of the emblem is different . I actually ordered one for my wife for AJT and I want one for my truck. That’s actually what got this whole thing started....lol

    I actually took my air bag off and looked at taking it apart, But there’s some rivets on there on the back but I don’t wanna mess with

    I appreciate your effort

    The speakers are great I think for the price you can't beat em. Good sound quality.

    I'm all about ID. I have a IDQ 10" Sub and the 6.5" ID door speakers as well as tweeters. My whole setup is ID actually. The amp powering my speakers is ID. The only non-ID component is my sub amp... which is an Alpine unit.

    Nothing too exciting. Did an oil change and removed the emblems off the tailgate and the bedside TRD stickers. More importantly, I changed the cabin air filter which looks like it was needed a long time ago. I was amazed at how much more air comes through my vents now.

    I got a bit of a Frankenstein set up. My speakers are ID and my sub is a kicker comp r and the sub amp is an alpine as well lol. And powering the door speakers I got a rockford fosgate. Lol. Thinking about switching to an alpine sub to match the amp not sure yet though.

    Removed the bed side decals today. I like it, has a cleaner look now IMO. I also took off my Martin roof rack. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it, and I can't express enough how good the quality and design of it is. I just made an impulse buy on it without fully thinking it thru. I don't need something that robust for what I do, occasional camping and kayaking. It's for sale now.

    Is there a specific size or brand of hitch receiver to get, to ensure it sits flush like this? Or is it a standard size?
