    Haha. Not cheap at all, but I think it's a good investment for paint protection. I won't have wax my truck for the next few years and cleaning is supposed to be much easier. I'll see as time passes. Also, being in the service and all the places I've lived have made it difficult to clean and detail my past vehicles like I'd really want to.

    Thanks, but I wanted to know what you were using for your axle because I'm thinking with the quick release on the stock axle, it can still be removed even if the clamp on the mount was locked.

    It squeezes it really tight and holds by friction

    I just made a video but apparently can't share it here. You not only have to be able to unscrew it, you also would have to be able to pull it the width of the fork. I'm sure if a thief were determined enough that they could get it. I can take a fork off with no more than 2 sizes of Allen keys faster than you could pull that axle out. I need to get some tamper resistant bolts because you can also remove the whole mount with t30 torx.

    Anyone happen to have matte black decals on the tailgate on a black taco? I'm curious how this looks or ifor ithe would even show. Just to add a subtle accent to the back.

    They will show, but only by eliminating the reflection within the letters. Very subtle, but noticeable, particularly when your truck is clean.

    True, true. Even if I were to use a cable and lock, mine is mounted with allen head bolts. So far I haven't had a need for it, but better to be safe then sorry.


    I considered a Glock to take advantage of the blue label program, but didn't like the way it shot. I shot a Glock 21 back to back with an HK45 and very much prefer the HK.

    That thing is massive! I have the Glock 26, I love it and everyone who shoots it wants to trade theirs in and get one...
