    Just finished creating a storage space for my RTT. 4 lag bolts with eye hooks drilled into the studs and ratchet straps.

    Came from a brand new house with 8ft garage doors where I could drive in and out with the tent on my truck to an older house with a 7ft garage door so my truck can't fit in the garage with the tent on.

    Going to miss my electric winch to easily put the tent on or take it off by myself.

    Thanks for the idea! Making a "Dream House Must Haves" list for when we get our own place... since the wife and I both agree on a RTT in the future.... I never thought about the convenience of parking in the garage with the tent on -- especially the night before we head out on whatever adventure

    Sweet storage... why not put a winch in the new garage though?

    I think the vinyl is well worth it. Only took 10 minutes to apply and it looks fantastic!

    Well, a grille sure seems like a body part. If there are exceptions to “body parts”, that could be clarified on your web site. Thanks for the reply.

    Scored a pair of Sport signal mirrors for sale locally. You guessed it, power mirrors work but NO power to the signals. 5 wires connected to 5 wires.

    For now they are on and maybe will ‘wake up’ later.

    Is that a common issue with the sport mirrors?

    @Jeff
    The D-rings and the torx bolt that hold it are definitely the weak point. Anyone who owns a Tacoma will more than likely have the right size bit to remove it and walk away with your new Yeti.

    It is and there is quite a bit of discussion about it. Someone will eventually figure it out and share the news

    The housing is simple to install and replaces the original fog light. The wiring is simple to do you just have to enter the wires in the H11 male plug ... It took me about 20 minutes.to install.

    Because he wouldn't be able to get out of his garage with the RTT installed. ;)

    Dang that sucks. I've heard that most offroads are pre-wired so that the sport mirrors are 100% plug and play if you have those 5 wires.

    Those are sweet setups for lowering RTTs onto the truck.

    Its all about load capacity. IF you arent going to be carrying extra weight up front like a bumper, winch, and skids go with the 700lb coils (the 886s, Heavy). if not go with the 650 lb coils (885s, Mediums) The more weight up front the more the springs will sag. It should also be noted you need the toytec 3/4 inch spacer fi you want a full 3" of lift unless you go with the heavy springs
