What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looks like the new Monster Tundra with your kid in front! Awesome pic!

 

HAHA...That's even better than mine but doubt the wifey would go for that one.

 

What’s up with the SOS button? I’m intrigued!

 

Why not get 245’s instead

 

I think you left the receipt on the seat... it looks like your significant other may have puked a bit in the bottom pic.

 

Thanks. I just used some perforated steel flat that I cut, bent to shape, and painted to make mounting brackets. Used some miscellaneous hardware to attach those to the T-slots on my tonneau cover base, which cover the factory T-slot rails (which could also be used). Then I used some of the mounting hardware that came with the X-Bulls to hold the boards on the bracket. That hardware basically consists of some cheap threaded steel rod, nuts, washers, spacers and a nylon threaded knob to cap things off. Here’s a few more photos that might help.

 

I have it but I had to investigate: https://www.toyota.com/connected-services/safetyconnect/

Sounds like a competitor to OnStar.

 

I did the same with my boards too. They will fit under a regular roll up tonneau without needing the metal drop bracket, they sit right at the top of the bedrail..

 

I added this to cover the gapand mounted these

 

Awesome!

with a slight mod

 

Did you buy special t-nuts or just find nuts that fit the t-slot?

 

Ow fudge... that’s some gnar gnar, I worried about my harnesses while I was caressing the meso puddle pods through the boot. Today I realized somehow my anytime front/rear camera got crossed up and the image was reversed. I went back and looked at my shoddy wiring job, apparently I didn’t tape the ends off very well, so now they have shrink tubing on them.

 

How cold where you live?
Fortunately it was really nice out today ... 67°

 

It's just a nut and washer that was included with the boards mounting hardware, I did have to file the edges of the washer for it to fit in the deck rail.
The only thing I used that wasn't included with the boards was the electrical tape wrapped on the bolt to act as a spacer so the board doesn't rattle around. Everything else comes with the boards mounting hardware, you just need to get a little creative to make it all work.

 

Once it gets down to 0F is the only time it's too cold to wash your truck.

 

Not sure what you mean. It’s the button similar to Onstar that came with the truck. The red color is a bit off in the pic, but that was just due to the lighting.

 

Yeah rub it in. Today wasn’t too bad like mid forties with rain. Tonight supposed to get 1-3 inches of snow but it will likely be back in the mid forties again in the next day or two. That’s the issue with KY winter doesn’t know what it is supposed to be. One day 60 next day 0. Makes it difficult to get used to the temp.

 

Yeah I’m sure you all up there are adjusted to the weather but here in KY we don’t quite handle it as well. How do you keep from your doors freezing shut. You live in a beautiful state but I am just too soft for your winters.

 

looks great do you have an accurate weight on the klevers? listed at 47lbs but heard they're closer to 60+
