    had to call in my buddy with a super duty ford today...didn't want to break anything hauling home 2500 lbs of flooring...took two loads in the truck and was squatting quite a bit (with the TSB springs) and realized it would take too many trips (bout 20 miles cross town)

    needless to say, he gave me crap for it lol

    Cheers!

    I went with the Vertical Surface mount (double-stick), and just mounted it to the inside top corner of the windshield... much cleaner than that long-ass flexible rod/window mount. works perfectly, and I routed the cable through the A-pillar (being careful not to interfere with the airbag).

    Just be sure to test the position before you stick it on permanently.

    Keep an eye on it. I'm using the same one on the a-pillar and a few times it has fallen down (will probably be worse on the hot glass).

    It definitely is. A little spendy, but I realize what goes into it, and well worth it for a custom USA made product. :)

    Washed it kinda late... As I was drying it, I felt the towel drag on a not so smooth area... Put my phone flash light (app) to it and discovered...

    My truck's not as pink as the picture shows... It's my phone (-_-)

    Must have happened Friday night or saturday night... Either way, It was after a car meet/show thing and happened in San Jose :(.

    It's deep and won't buff out... Going to try and buy some OEM touch up paint and hope I can at least lighten it up.

    So far I've added an Advance folding bed cover and since removed it. Gave it to my son in Maine, he has an 05 2wd. GT perfect fit seat covers. Weathertech floor mats and window vent visors. Waag center brush/grill guard. Hose clamp tailgate mod. Turned off the seat belt chime. Added Ultra-Gauge. Trailer hitch. Softopper. Replaced sun visors with slide out style. Toyota bed extender. Had Firestone Destinations and now Michelin LTX AT2 in stock size. More mods to come; Fog lights, locking storage in bed, intermittent wipers. Now looking for Radio/HU upgrade. and maybe a lift way down the road.
    Yeah I'd be pissed too. Obviously someone doesn't like you and your truck. Last time at that car show.

    Pardon my ignorance - what is trk - truck ? It's according to how much time you want to spend. I've been doing it since it was new so I just power wash it - let it dry for a day or two and spray it. I live in NJ so there is salt and dirt on the under side. They use tons of salt here and it will rust out any frame eventually. Toyota bought back my 2000 - the frame had rusted completely thru. I put down a blue trap in the drive way. When I'm done I spray some mineral spirits thru the gun to clean it. If you have never done anything to your underside you will probably want to clean up the rust and paint it first. Hope this answers your questions. If not let me know specifically what you want 2 no. Thanks for you interest.

    the stupid open "cubbies" or "pockets" over the wheel wells inside the bed flew out Saturday. Well, 1 flew outta the bedside and flopped around in the bed, the other was still hanging half in/out of the hole. As soon as I noticed, I took the 1 hanging on for dear life out, and threw them both in the cab.

    Worried about possibly injuring others on the road, I left them in the cab till an hour ago. Gooped some GE silicone II (my go to silicone), around the inner contact areas, and popped the dumb things back in. I then ran a thick bead along the seams and smoothed it in. Ill repeat tonight if needed.

    What a POS design...............I woulda left em out but the open hole looks terrible.

    If this doesn't work, ill be back for suggestions......not much for any screws to "bite" on unfortunately.
