What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

@TRIAD Powderworks leave it upside down for the haters

 

I really like the red

 

Sweet... I actually picked up

$188 Hoister Direct 7806.12 - Overhead Storage Hoist for Jeep Top Removal, Truck Caps, Bikes, SUP, Dinghies, Canoes, Kayaks, Surfboards and More. Mount in Your Garage, Shop, Anywhere with a Ceiling.

this lift from Amazon for the same reason. I got it installed and raised the rack, but was stuck getting info on the adapters and tonneau. I'll be interested seeing the photos and didn't realize that you didn't need to bolt the adapters to the bed. I was thinking of the BAK Revolver X2 Tonneau Cover but I don't know if it made sense if I had to leave the adapters connected to the truck when I removed the rack.

 

no hate here just an observation lol sometimes i don't even notice things like that and when i finally do it eats away at me until i fix it... must be the military in me...

 

I am the same way, I Was just poking the bear

 

im having that dilemma with my new rear bumper having more texture in the powder coating than my current front bumper lol

 

Funny memory. I actually have a friend that poked a bear in the butt as it was climbing down the tree, crazy son of a gun!

 

That's all fine and fun, but You'll shoot your eye out kid!

Besides, US mil statistics: 10k rounds expended for regular infantry on average per tango down, 1.5 rounds expended for each tango down with scout snipers (and usually more strategic eliminations).

 

dude sounds nuts.... I’d party with him.

 

Was I worried? Nooooo! Stopped running my hounds with him after that.
Now I just run bird dogs and I don't need to carry an extra pair of shorts.

 

Does he happen to live in North Carolina?

Got a new fill vavle for my 300km 2020!
Went to fill up yesterday for the first time (1/2 tank so why not) and when I was done I heard 'water'.....it was gas dripping from under my truck. I was 2 blocks away so took it to the dealer who is lending me some 2015 Hemi Ram thing that makes me fully appreciate the Tacoma.

They called and they filled it up = nothing, but they smoke tested and the fill valve was leaking so I have to wait a couple days for the part.

They have never seen anything like this before so yay for being 1st.

 

Mind if I ask how the quality of the powder coat is, My tattoo artist in NYS ordered one and wasn't that happy with it. I want one but have some reservations,

 

I could be misinterpreting the installation guide, but I took it as the bolts are not necessary so I didn't bolt mine down. I don't have a roof top tent on it yet so maybe it is a good idea for me to bolt them down before I put the tent on it.

 

I haven't noticed any powder coat issue on the rack itself, but the tonneau adapter is...yeah... Personally, I'm not too concerned (yet) because the bare metal for the Z-bracket is under the tonneau cover. As for the mounting bracket, I had to jam the bolt in because the excess powder coat. I don't think I exposed any bare metal, but I stopped caring at that point haha

 

Those are paint hanger hook marks

 

are you able to confirm if that suction cup will work on our dash material which is textured?

 

3" Suspension lift w/ICON 2.5 both front and rear, ICON springs, KMC Dirty Harry wheels, Nitto 33" Ridge Grappler tires, CBI rock sliders, CBI armor, Prinsu cab rack, ARE topper, I Kamper roof top tent, MESO black out side mirror turn signals. I think I need to press pause on spending $ this year.

 

Got my X-Bull traction boards today. For $70 w/ mounts I figure I can break one each time I use it (maybe 1-2 times/year for snow recovery) and in 10 years still have paid less than a set of MaxTrax boards.
Plus if someone steals it out of my bed I'm only out $30 vs $150 since I only plan on carrying one at a time because bed space is prime real-estate for all my work tools I need to haul.
Though I will say I do wish I could justify the MaxTrax price, but the money I saved on the boards is going into an OVTune so I'm happy with my decision.

The hardware that comes with the boards is easily modified to fit the front bed rail. All I had to do was grind down the washers so it could fit in the T channel. And the board sits low enough so it doesn't interfere with my tonneau cover.

 

Do you have a link to this? How well does it perform?
