    What he didnt show, because he already had the bumper off, is the 3 push pins that hold the grill to the bumper and good luck with the little plastic clips.

    i've got a question. my 2015 acc cab , dosent line up with the bed. i noticed it before i put my cap on it,but it really stands out with my snugtop on it. i know the dealer can address this,but i don't know if i want to go through the hassle. is this as easy as loosening the bolts move about a 1/4 to 3/8 retork and be done, any thoughts.

    if the bed is just off center then yea, you should be able to just loosen bolts and shift the bed around.

    Does anyone know if the dealer is able to program the key fob to unlock all doors by pressing once, instead of having to hit the button twice?

    Try this from https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/how-to-unlock-all-doors-one-click.299950/ but from reading the thread it didn't work for a lot of people.

    Going to wait to fill... Once I put the 35s I'll check for rubbing and either cut more or fill.

    Anyone have a good solution for an outside temp gauge? I have updates from weather.com on the navigation but would rather know what temp it is on the other side of my door.

    You will probably have to run one if you want the temp. Will need to replace mirror.
