What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

Those fancy came from Amazon but you can also get them from Grainger . Com

 

part number?

 

trdparts4u has em for around $60. i got the exact same one on ebay for around $30 free shipping.

 

Ok there called Bracket Quick Fastners 8 mm the numbers are 900BA2SB and 900BA1SB that's the parts

 

The pricing are $9.78 and 9.38 both from Amazon

 

How do you find them? Did you have to drill into the Mobtown tailgate skin or just use an existing bolt up point?

 

scocar there not redlined

 

no drilling required. just had to replace one cable bolt and remove one tail gate screw.

 

Hi my heated mirrors work great what I did is drilled into the Mobtown skin and placed washers and lock nut on the back side the I drilled into the tailgate itself to allow the nuts to be resesst in the tailgate that way the skin fits flush

 

Thanks guys!

 

But for the upper Brackets I took the taillight out and place a 12 x3 x3/16 thick inside the taillight housing and pop revit then in and the drilled for the bracket

 

Glad to hear it

Okay that makes sense. Did it need one on each side just with the added weight of the tailgate skin? I usually see just one shock being used.

 

Up2nogood if you look closely you can see the pop revit I but 6 on each side then I painted them Black

 

Sounds solid!

 

Yes I place one ez down on each side because I the 23 lbs of added weight it works with one but it went down a little to fast for my liking

 

Yes it is very solid now

 

This!!!! I followed the instructions without thinking and now my hood doesn't go up as high as I would like. It's like 2" lower than with the prop rod.

Wish I thought of this before installing.

 

Mine hood is the same about two inches lower but it doesn't get in the way of working in there

 

Ahhhhh so confusing. 2 different people talking about 2 different setups for their tailgate assists lol. I think its easier if you organize it by username (sailor has the built in one, danny has the one with the hard cap)


Sailot - Sweet. Just ordered one.

Is it pretty stable/load bearing with just the one cable or does it sag under weight?

 

Finished up my spare tire swing out....
