Added the pro grille with raptor lights and a snugtop. At first I liked how the grill looked with the TSS garnish even though my truck isn’t equipped with it. Then my GF had to go point out how I talk sh*t when others add incorrect stickers ect. to their vehicles. So now I can’t stand it and can’t find the original blank placket.

Found my new favorite parking spot at home depot.

Started my dog platform. Coming along nicely, but ran out of daylight. Pictures tomorrow when it's all done with any luck.

That's a great guide, never realized that. Kind of like military time. For PM, subtract 2, drop the first digit, and voila, non military time. Example: 1400 = 2pm (4-2, drop the first). 1800=6pm (8-2 drop the first). Get's a little funky for 2200 and 2300, but mostly solid.

That's the exact way I learned and used it in the Army. (They didn't teach it that way, I just figured it out somehow and stuck w/it.)

BRM just doesn't photograph well. This color looks a lot better in person. I usually filter mine a bit. It makes it look closer to what my eye sees. Nice rack!

NICE PIC! I just dropped these from the phone, no filters. I didn't think of any post-editing for just some driveway pics - but you're right, the color looks way different in your post. That's a great set-up you have. I think our trucks look way better when not over-done. 3" lift...more? Glad you like my rack - I bet you say that to all the guys.

Hey everyone I'm a new member to Tacoma World

but i have been scrolling on these forums for years
i check on this mod thread every night before I go to bed

Thank you all for your hard work and inspiration and lessons do and don'ts tips and tricks reviews and comparisons and everything in between

this is such a great community and I'm so glad to to join because now I have a few mods I thought I'd share

I bought a 2 door Tacoma second Gen. And totaled it in 2016 and went out to buy another used and came home with a brand new 3rd Gen Off Road Double Cab 2016
it's treated me well for the past 4 years and with no issues

I was able to save some mula with the quarantine and put on some starting mods. Huskies, Clazzio Seat Covers, Auto Vent Shades, Oem Bed Mat, and a big shot in the dark

I've always wanted a truck bed camper but the expensive fiberglass shells often crack and can't support a lot of weight so im my mind I wanted to get a bed rack

I also wanted to be able to store things under cover so i wanted a bed cover and softopper. I have the OEM tonneu but i wanted more storage.

There is nowhere on this website that goes into much detail about those who have experimented with different soft top canopies with a bed rack over top
there are a few companies that make them but they are not as asthetic or sturdy as the RCI adjustable 18" bed rack

this one caught my eye and I did my homework and like a boy scout I figured out that a soft topper with the rails configured just right might fit under the RCI adapters meant for a hard tonneau cover

After months of procrastination research and lots of waiting and fiddling around with pieces and waiting and waiting for deliveries

I finally finally got my rig to work the way I imagined it and.....
yes!!!!!
I can truly say that a softopper brand canopy is compatible with RCI brand adjustable bed rack if you use the rci tonneu adapters and some finesse
Click to expand...

Have been searching forever for a solution to a bed rack over a softopper and this is by far the best looking setup. Definitely going this route.

Looks great! I ordered this rack too. Do you mind clarifying what you modified - did you enlarge the rack mount itself or the slots on the track system? Thanks

THANK YOU! Here's a link to the thread that shows exactly what I did, Post #10. I just enlarged the holes on the mount itself, didn't do anything to the rails:

I only say it to all of the BRM guys...

Understood. I didn't expect the filter...just noting a beautiful color that goes underappreciated because for some reason, the red doesn't come out well in photos. My truck has 2.5" of lift with 33's. Not much at all, but enough for my type of trailing.

@MESO Door Handle Cover Kit & Minimalist Keyfob. You can tell he takes pride in his craftsmanship based on the packaging alone. Another great mod, it’s no mystery why these products sell out within minutes.

Damn! Looking nice. I’m still waiting for the Flip fob for the keyed Tacoma. @MESO?

I clayed using a clay mitt. Polished, then gave my Taco a coat of Turtle Wax Ceramic Spray coating over the past weekend.

GrandMasterB · Aug 11, 2020

Drove up to Mt. Washington while on vacation last week, and added demon brackets and cool looking shackles.

Use -12 for military time, same concept as dropping the 1 and substracting 2, just works for the times in the 20’s to

After years of eyeing it, and months of waiting (thanks COVID), I finally received and installed my Southern Style Offroad Slimline Bumper. Couldn't be happier. FYI - Word to the wise - Make sure you hook up all the winch wires BEFORE you mount it to the bumper and then the truck... you'll save yourself a huge headache and a few dozen cuss words.

Bumper looks great!

Although, I have to admit, the more I look at the shackles hanging on the front of these trucks, the more they remind me of nipple rings
