This is an EPIC Rig I love it! Heck with the Cedar shims look at the sheet metal screw holding the air vent in place! Or was it used to mount the gauges, and just a little to long? Either way I love it

Not a mod, but a few years ago when I had my Yota to my mechanic on something I could not do. I asked him to break loose and lube all the body n bed mount nuts n bolts, Thank goodness. Today I had to raise the back passenger corner of my bed 3/4 of n inch or so because it was not quite level.They all come off OK no broken bolts. I did break a ratchet extension on a tuffy, but a shorter extension and my floor jack handle for leverage saved the day. I am soooo happy a simple do, stayed just that. A simple do. And I used a combination of brass and rubber washers to get r done.

at home depot i can get either flat black, or gloss black for 0.99 a can...its pretty good quility stuff too, but its not as good as the tractor and implement paint i usually get, wich is 5.49 acan, but the tractor paint is super strong!!
