    Anyone removed the Sport's front air dam and installed an Off-Road front tow hook? It should be easy peasy, right?

    VERY easy... takes longer to find your tools. I think you need a 10MM for the air dam and possibly 17MM for the OEM hook, then install the new plate for the new shackle. I have a large one in the front and installed some rubber grommets on each side to keep the shackle centered and looking bro!

    It depends:

    Do you plan on going fast, or getting stuck?

    Not sure if you're trolling or not... but 2016 and 2017 are identical. Also some parts from second gen tacomas are interchangeable with the third gen
