    The stock tires are really meant for highway use. In my experience the BFG Rugged Trail tires on TRD Off Road trim don't hold rocks, but they are a poor off road tire anyway.

    With vertically-sliding windows, the idea is that you can crack them open a little, and the gap is sheltered under the rain guard. How well does the rain guard work on a sideways-sliding window?

    i did something similar. the shop in my town can buy the window and rear window guards painted to match. i only like rain guards if they're painted. did the rear for looks mainly. i don't have any full on shots, but this is what they look like...

    I really love that yours are painted. Especially because I like silver. I'm trying to stick with a Black/White look with my Taco. For example, I got the black step bars as well, and am hoping to add black wheels soon! Also, how did you get your brake lights tinted? Did you get it done somewhere or did you order a precut tint?

    You can still see through my guard because it isn't tinted TOO dark. However, it does make the back window look way smaller through the rear view mirror. I actually like how it looks though. I also have an Infiniti G37 IPL Edition and the back window in those isn't huge either so it doesn't bother me.

    Not sure about the part #. I got them from www.autoanything.com. They're about the only website at the time I got it that has a good selection of 2012 accessories.

    Oh, okay. I was just wanting to know because I wanna do my headlights black and get my tail lights done. I'll have to get up with the guy that does my windows because he's a family friend and does mine for free. He done my tail lights in my Infiniti. Thanks
