    Good to know thanks! I'll be doing mine as soon as my front and rear bumpers come in.

    Couple helpful tips, when cutting the bolt head off the passenger side UCA bolt, use a short "thick metal" specific sawzall blade, if you're using a sawzall. Then, there are two rubber hoses near where you are cutting, I just zip tied them out of the way to prevent any possible interference with the cutting blade. Last, don't torque the UCA bolts until the truck is sitting on the ground under its own weight.

    It won't even line up to get the bolt to reach the hole is what I've experienced. Threats look perfect, just a bit of the step mount appears to rub against the Tacoma frame. Will be seeing the dealer shortly. Hopefully on a hoist it's an easier job than on my driveway.

    Looking good! What cover is that? Rugged liners? If so can you post some pics of the rear corners?

    Dealer solved it. Was pretty much what I was doing... loosen up the mid and rear bolts, then realign the front. Going at it from the driveway was a bit more challenging vs just hoisting it up. Took a whole 5 minutes and now they are fully secure!

    I'm torn between lifting my truck .85 or 1.75. Does anyone have pics they can share of a 1.75 lift? My tire size is one taller than stock and concerned that 1.75 lift might be too much for that size wheel.

    What do most of these switches do, besides some of the outer lights?

    Had a SnugTop SL2 Tonneau Cover installed today on my 2016 Toyota Tacoma. I was happy for about five minutes. The installer was walking me around, showing the operation of the cover when I asked him if the we could take the SnugTop decal off and he said yes. Well, in doing so, the paint came off too. The installer said SnugTop would cover it but they would want to repaint that top instead of sending out a new one and swapping it out. Thus, having my truck out of service for 2-3 weeks. I have since noticed the MGM paint on the SnugTop is darker than the truck.
    Avoid SnugTop as they are unable to match Toyota's factory paint. Avoid Norco Camper Co. They will make it seriously inconvenient if you have any warranty issues.

    You may be the only other person on this Planet with my luck. Sorry to see this happen to a new product. Maybe a heat gun would have loosened the glue. Or a piece of fishing monofilament . You may have gotten lucky they may match it using Toyota paint . Let them remove it and then paint it. It don't have to be on the truck to paint it. jS

    I'd say that paint wasn't thoroughly dry before they stuck their sticker on it. Dummies.
