What's the best way to get the blue dye of the white letters and detail them!

It's just blue soap. Water and a tire brush will do it.

Not to be the plate police on the forum, but your plate frame is illegal. Unless you want a 30 dollar civil violation for your first offense! Just a friendly forum brother giving you a heads up before a LEO does.

Arizona Revised Statutes. Title 28

28-2354. License plates; attachment; civil penalty

A. A person shall display the license plate or plates as follows:

1. For a motor vehicle, motorcycle, trailer or semitrailer, on the rear.

2. Except as provided in paragraph 3 of this subsection, for a vehicle for which two license plates are issued, the vehicle owner shall display either of the following:

(a) One plate on the rear.

(b) One plate on the front and one plate on the rear.

3. For a vehicle for which two special license plates are issued pursuant to section 28-2409, one plate on the rear of the vehicle and one plate on the operator's wheelchair carrier or wheelchair lift when it is attached to the vehicle.

B. A person shall display all license plates as required by subsection A of this section until their lawful use expires or is canceled or revoked. A person shall maintain each license plate so it is clearly legible. A person shall securely fasten each license plate to the vehicle as follows:

1. To prevent the plate from swinging.

2. At a height of at least twelve inches from the ground to the bottom of the plate.

3. In a position to be clearly visible.

C. A person shall maintain each license plate so that the name of this state at the top of the license plate is not obscured.

D. A peace officer shall not stop or issue a citation to a person operating a motor vehicle on a highway in this state for a violation of subsection C of this section unless the peace officer has reasonable cause to believe there is another alleged violation of a motor vehicle law of this state.

E. If a person violates subsection C of this section, the person is subject to a civil penalty of thirty dollars, except that if a person violates subsection C of this section within twelve months after the date of a prior violation of subsection C of this section, the person is subject to a civil penalty of one hundred dollars.

Thanks for looking out brotha! Looks like I need to find a new star trek frame so it actually looks like I picked NC1701D on purpose lol.

Well, theoretically, as long as there aren't other alleged violations of a motor vehicle law in the state, you might be good. On the flip side, it doesn't say a meter maid can't ticket you.

Wow. I thought I was a jerk. Bad plate. Let the federal marshals lock my bank account and domain and sell my home. I am doing life for a license plate. God help you if your tpms light is on. They shoot on sight for that one. Freakin LawLifes.

Well I figure if I get pulled over I'll flip on the rear strobes and floor it! I could be that guy on cops that destroys his truck in a high speed chase. Later after a foot pursuit when I'm arrested half naked under the helicopter spotlight and the officer asks "what are you running for man?" " i was scarred because my license plate frame is to big !!!!!"
Just kidding

True, you could get away by going maximum warp.

Thanks to the recommendation of @0uTkAsT I put some new Falkens on. Great tires that look better than most pictures show. Also put my bed lights in from @mattgecko - great product with amazing instructions. Finally I built a bed rack for my road bike. Busy truck day.

Any pics of the whole truck with new tires? What size? I am trying to decide on tires to buy. It is hard to find pics of stock OR rims with aftermarket tires.

Ouch, ok thats it I'm gonna come clean and tell the wife guns are not cheap and neither is lifting my Taco and getting new rims and tires! After she has calmed down and only after, I will teach her to shoot and give her the extra key to the Tacoma!

Some other guys are mounting smaller compressors behind their seat or in the bed storage boxes. I guess this is cool though. How did it effect your mileage? Any rubbing?

I removed the "Tacoma" and "V6" badges from the doors and tailgate, respectively. I believe I caused a 1/4" scratch on the tailgate (grrr). Hopefully I can pull it out with my PC.

I'm still on the fence with the bedside decals. I think the red in the decal is what is throwing me. I do and don't like the decals. With my '13 the decals were solid color so it was less of an issue.

I did mine in that order as well. Left the stickers on for a few more days after debadging. Finally removed them and it looks much better. All I've asked agree and like it better without.
