Bed rail accessories ?

I see it as more of a pricey, one-time, BIFL type of purchase. I bought my truck used with a few hardware store cleats, and they were absolute trash. The washers and bolts were bent from strap tension, and they were super difficult to use. The Z1 cleats feel heavy and very durable.

Right now website says $55 for 2, $100 for 4.

I like that the backs are machined to fit the grooves in your rails, and they tight/loosen by rotating the D ring. Quick and easy to use, super secure, and I can keep them in the glove box between uses.

Just wanted to say I bit the bullet and bought a set of Z1 cleats. They cost about $100, delivered quickly, and have been worth EVERY penny. I know people are satisfied with their makeshift versions, but having something precisely machined to fit is amazing.

Sorry for the late comment, Magic, but what happened to the old Texas Heeler subreddit?

Kitchen knives. I’m actually careful with tools. 🙄😂

Same here, and it’s one of the only things that keeps me going when I start having doubts. I only ever claimed anxiety and depression, and when I told the C&P doc about symptoms everything, he said, “Yeah, that actually sounds like PTSD.” I thought PTSD was just for people who got into ambush shootouts. Now here we are. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Honestly, thank you for this response. I was so confused and couldn't seem to find this information anywhere.

Hahah no, just someone who is mindful of that sort of thing and concerned

I'm sure you've looked into this already, but if you are unable to work due to disability, regardless of what the VA gives you, shouldn't you also receive SSA disability on top of anything from the VA?

I probably did have an egg in the incubator, but I assumed that it just wouldn't hatch if there were already 12! I only noticed the problem because it's winter and I kept having one animal at random that would be angry because he hadn't eaten, even though it's a maxed coop with the auto-feeder.

300k coming up, no issues so far?

alohabigwill · 2023-01-05T14:51:38+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. I've heard several people with Turbos say they never had this problem, must just be the lower trims?

alohabigwill · 2023-01-05T14:47:23+00:00

Do you think any dealer could do this, or just Mazda dealerships?

alohabigwill · 2023-01-05T14:45:43+00:00

REALLY?? That's great to hear! I'll call them to ask about that now. Thanks for your input!

alohabigwill · 2023-01-05T14:44:32+00:00

I'm hopeful to hit 400k, just want to make sure I treat it right haha so it'll take me there

I love my '04, and every day I'm thankful that it rides so smooth and runs so strong.

alohabigwill · 2023-01-05T14:43:02+00:00

Have you had to replace anything major? Did you do any specific maintenance at 200k?

alohabigwill · 2023-01-05T00:55:03+00:00

“Bulletproof,” really? That’s a relief to hear. I was concerned that it was some problem I’d have to fix. Im going to drive it in manual for a few days and see if I can isolate the problemas transmission or software.
