    Note :

    Outside temperature will affect the glue adhesion . I put mine on with outside temp of 65F. I left the windows up for 3 days. The first time I rolled down the windows and rolled them back up , the window caught them and cracked them. When I removed them the glue was not even tacky. So my advise , wait for warmer weather . Let them sit in the sun for a while before installation. Or use a heat gun or hair dryer. AVS customer service has been great so far, just waiting for them to arrive.:taco::taco::taco::turtleride::turtleride:

    I think most people just like to keep everything factory/Toyota or at least I'm like that. Another thing I'm big on is if the wheels are hub centric or not. Also that peer pressure shit ;)

    Sorry... away from the board for a while. Yes... I really like it a lot. I've used many products over the years, the Collinite was easy on, easy off, makes the paint slippery as an eel, and gives my black paint incredible depth.

    Did you use the CaliRaised bracket for the install? Did you have to drill any holes on the frame to attach the bracket or did it use existing mounting holes/bolts?

    Thanks. So I went to their website and the image they have shows the center loop, or push bar being a lot taller than your push bar. Can you explain what the difference is? I like the shorter push bar like you haveScreenshot_2016-03-24-08-41-24.jpg

    How hard is it removing the A-pillar? I prefer not to start popping panel clips and have all the fun that removing interior components can be. Why not just remove the speaker cover and apply felt on the A-pillar at the point of contact?

    I asked them the same thing. What Strikeforce has they call the 'Center Loop'. They call the full on dear guard triple loop design that pictured a 'Bull Guard'. I thought this was counter intuitive as well.

    Strikeforce - does that bumper offer some crash absorption like the OEM bumper, or does it bolt onto the frame like a grill guard?

    Protection factor, I'd say it would do the trick....

    Looks factor, I immediately thought it should be painted yellow because it reminded me of a safety gate.

    Installed a Truxedo LoPro QT last night. Took 20 minutes and looks great. Very impressed.

    * BAMF Grille *50% tint driver/passenger front window * NFAB steps * Bakflip F1 tonnaeu * Bed extender * Bed mat * Weathertech digital floor mats * Black reflective Tacoma tailgate decal
    Solid advice. My Weathertechs on my last vehicle never adhered right and would move and flex as I rolled the window up and down. I gave them two months and ended up taking them off.
