What did you do TO / WITH your 4th gen Tacoma today?! 👨‍🏭 🧰 📸

Added a 95L Roam box back to back with the 83L. Access was a challenge. Using reverse camera and tiny screwdriver helped get the MOLLE nuts centered in the extrusion t-track. I cussed so much, my neighbor checked on me

The wife is a woman of many talents, so I have asked her to make paracord grab handles for each of the boxes. I have to get in the truck bed or on a ladder to close them if I push them all the way up. She has more paracord than a prepper.

More bolt-on fun: Sherpa billet handles and their antenna mount. Did the handles before Roam box addition, and they were helpful to keep me safe while I fiddled with the infernal box mounts.

I found a fix on Reddit but decided to cut the bumper thing instead, not perfect, but it’ll do for now

Took the kid up to a nice spot to make noodles. Really like the trailswing with the table

My Sherpa Rainier just shipped. I was looking at the Roam boxes as well and thought the T bracket mounts looked easy. I'm just curious, why didn't you move the rail so the bracket aligned on the outside the rail for easy access?

Thought about that if I couldn’t access from the hard to reach inside. It’s harder for thieves if it’s harder for us to install. I also have security hardware on order for both boxes’ brackets and an Abus cable lock 6.5’ that seems like it will attach through both boxes. Hoping a couple of deterrents will work. I’m going to try an Abus combo padlock on the box lid clasps - maybe just need one in the middle. The fit is difficult given the recessed clasps. I tried Cedar Ridge post locks, good on gun cases, but it’s the wrong shape to get into the recess. My other padlocks were too wide. I measured and ordered one combo lock yesterday to check out.

@mtbocoee another benefit of the way that I have the rear of the box mounted on the inner side of the extrusion is that the outside of the T-track facing the truck bed is freed up. I could put chase lights or whatever back there. But I know I have to be careful about interference between powered items and antennas when lights are on.
