What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

The dimension on a few 2x8's I have laying around in closer to 7 1/4 than 7 1/2"

The notches in the polymer bed are not exactly square but at the base seem to be just a hair under 7 1/4 eyeballing with a tape measure pinches a 2x8 tight.

 

That's awesome! Where did you get it?

 

It's a 3d printed kit you have to build. From MFab on Instagram or Facebook.

 

I ended up using 2x6’s because I had some leftover from a project, but built a frame so the back end of the sheets don’t flex

 

Not today, but got the Spidertrax 1-1/4" wheel spacers installed....


On Pro wheels and stock tire size...

 

Guess it's only 6000k....prefer 5000k but damn these is tempting

 

What's the mm on those?

 

I ordered some black stainless steel license plate screws in China to compliment my new truck.

Needless to say I got my money back.
I am now looking for alternatives.

 

Pardon my ignorance, what does mm mean?

 

I suggest getting SS bolts from your local nut and bolt shop. The ones I got were not from China.

 

Millimeter. Are specs in inches?​

 

That may be true using old style LED bulbs. I have had Hikari hi-low for nearly 2 years. Would buy again. Super bright. Aimed correctly they do not blind people. Much much much better than Halogen in stock housings. Don't listen to BS. These are awesome.

 

I installed the same 1 1/4" set on my Tacoma. They will be the same as the OEM studs although I suggest not using the OEM locking nuts. I found when I torqued the OEM locking nuts they blew out the end and damaged the threads. I purchased longer locking nuts after I repaired the threads.

 

correct. the width is in inches.. To convert in milometers you would need to multiply the value by 6.35 i think??

 

Thanks for the heads up... What torque spec did you use when torquing the locking nuts??? i torqued them at 90 foot pounds and it was ok..

 

25.4 mm equals 1"

 

I knew i had it wrong, my brains still waking up.. Thanks man!!

 

Old machinist, it's imprinted on my brain!

Just don't ask me to covert liquid measure to metrics.

 

Good catch... Thanks!!
I would have loved to work with metals, just never had the opportunity never learnt about it...

 

I'm still having the opportunity!
Just kidding, don't get me wrong, I like what I do it just didn't expect to be doing it this long!
