    How much for 4 blanks? No holes? Are you using your center hole to lock the rail in place?

    Alright guys!

    After 1 week owning the 2015 TRD PRO suspension I went out and tested it at Holy Jim. I did a really quick video about it. I hope you enjoy it! I had some fun doing this one unlike my 8 hour install ordeal. haha.

    Video is below and for others who haven't seen my install VLOG of this BRO suspension and Headstrong AAL, I've added that original video below as well!

    Thanks as always for your positive feedback and subscribe if you haven't!

    Put on some tint today. 5% all around and full 50% on the windshield. The rear windows are dark AF with the 5% over the factory tinted glass. Loving the look of the truck even more.
    More pictures coming soon.

    Yeah, both sides are like that. I thought it was from cheap wax that someone was messy with. I knew some stuff could damage that plastic, so I haven't tried a lot of things to get it off yet. I know there is a product for the plastics on a vehicle, but I saw something about it being super toxic even to the skin, so I haven't pursued that one.
    Scratching at it doesn't make a difference. I am probably going to give a magic eraser a try in the next day or two. I am hesitant about using too many chemicals cause I don't want to damage the plastic or the paint.

    The truck was used when I bought it, so I just figured the previous owner did a half ass job waxing.

    Cant wait to see it in the sun with the dorrs closed. I wish we could put tint on our windshields in Maryland. You will get pulled over and ticketed quick though if you get the wrong cop having a bad day.

    Wow, that sux. I am so OCD I would have to do something. It has a yellow or greenish tint to it in some areas and yet is not evenly spread over the black. It's so strange.

    I wonder if it would just be easier to tape everything off and paint it with the plastic spray paint in the rattle can. And if you go that route, take the covers and led light off and paint the entire thing. You could go the extra mile and order a rattle can or two with the exact paint code match. We've talked about how that's a thing on the forum with others trying to find touch up paint or paint for chrome bumpers, etc. that color matches.

    You could go totally custom and go all white except for the blacked out led. That would be a first and make it a one of a kind.

    thats what I did when I traded my 16 tacoma in for my 18. I saw no pouch for all books when I signed so when I cleaned out 16 I took that with and gave them the books for the truck

    Yes, the center hole locks the nut to the rail so when I remove the rack they stay in place. Then when reinstalling it, everything stays squared up and is in the right place to fit my skis.

    I can do 4 blanks, I'll send you PM

    I'm going to have to sell this idea to the wife and present it as a security feature for the tailgate. Nice nice truck, man.

    Got my Pro grille in today. Nice easy install, except the double-sided tape on the "T" didn't want to lift. Tweezers helped a lot. Also, I added mountain stickers above the door badging. I straight up stole that from @dkemp349. I'm not even going to lie. 100% plagarism, and I'm not even ashamed. I'll be stealing a lot of you folk's ideas as I go.
