Decided on overhaulHd from Yakima, got 40% off on it so it was a no Brainer for me, I do surfing and stand up paddle. That’s what made me decide to go with it rather an an over landing rack, plans is to add prinsu or victory for the roof in the far future.

 

Thanks man. Truck looks awesome btw. Did you have to modify the tonneau cover at all to fit the RCI Bedrack?

 

How long have you had them?

 

I did have to alter it a bit but it should make it a little easier if you chose to go with RCI offset brackets

About a month. The biggest difference is on gravel roads. Super smooth. I run 42 psi

 

Got her dirty!!

That looks great. Congratulations on your journey so far... I applaud your do-it-yourselfer approach.

 

Just payed 7 down to drop my payment and start financing my Tacoma. Wooooo is this what adulting feels like?!

Thank you. I appreciate that.

A big plus since you get the satisfaction of a job well done by you alone and a wallet a little thicker. I built two homes by myself with some help by my wife which took over ten years of nights and weekends. First one was learned by reading a how-to book. The skills you learn and the pride you get are priceless

 

I'm blessed to have known some really good trade Journeyman. They've been helpful, and good teachers. I'm a Draftsman by trade, but I took the drawings to the shop and made the part myself....I think that's the key. Versatility is everything. Oh, and some luck. LOL
Thanks
Zim

 

Want to trade? I give you my topper and you give me that one...


Congrats and look forward to your photos of journey.

 

I keep looking but can’t find a reasonably priced used black mirror knob off. It’s killing me.

 

I was in the same boat. A new oem one was like $130 . I got a used Sienna master panel with the mirror knob for less that half that on eBay. I got it from a salvage yard , I cleaned it up and it works flawlessly and illuminates blue like the rest of the interior buttons. I ordered a 2015-2019 master panel of that helps.

 

Has anyone gotten the CBI covert front bumper? I was leaning to an SSO front but saw this. I like clean/OEMplus-looking. The bar is an option that I probably wouldn't take
