I've gotta say... I'm pretty happy with these #HarborFreight #Bauer modular toolboxes I picked up today. I've got about 80% of my tools in them now. This is heaps better than my old Rubbermaid totes that I'm amazed I never got a hernia lifting. I can lift each of these individually and they're all an acceptable weight.
The plan is to take them with me in my #Toyota #Tacoma #Truck when I'm going somewhere a bit more spicy than the mall.
I ordered several more because the local store is out.
"It will be the last one I'll do", the guy said. I asked why. "Because soon I'm going into retirement", he said. But 15 minutes later he had the repaired unit ready. He tested it. And.. I think it works even better than the old one (before it failed).
And with that, who knows how long I will still use the old clunker?
BTW this is what the dashboard looked like during repair. /2
Why isn't anyone making a #RoofTopTent or #CamperShell similar to the #FlipPac but that opens sideways to give a true king-sized bed?
It's incredibly frustrating that the one company that 3D prints a part I need for my #Toyota #Tacoma has not restocked the part in over a year. It's a complicated enough geometry that I'm not going to be able to recreate it myself and they won't sell me the STL file so I can get someone else to print it. I've talked to some other people and companies who make similar parts but none have wanted to tackle this.

Anyone happen to have any ideas?

Toyota zeigt auf dem Kenshiki Forum vorwiegend E-Autos, obwohl man offiziell an der Multiantriebsstrategie festhält. Der japanische Weg, einen Fehler zuzugeben. https://www.heise.de/news/Elektroautos-auf-dem-Toyota-Kenshiki-Forum-2025-Toyota-wird-elektrisch-10310824.html
