    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    Yea, I can't get to the drivers side or the rears but both the fronts were about 1/4 off to fit for some reason :notsure:. They have great customer service so they will figure it out..

    Looks like about 3/8 of an inch too short on both sides

    @Mobtown Offroad has anyone made a video of the full install? I read over the instructions and will be placing an order here in the next month. I am a visual guy and I assume most of the guys that want to install these are as well. It would sure help if you or another member made one!
    Thanks for your help, Cheers

    No, no one has done a video. We'd like to do one because it is easier for the consumer but I'm ugly so...

    Well... I bought a full set of skid plates and rock rails and never got around to installing them last year. I can come by and let you install them while I film it.

    I am helpful that way. :D

    I’m certain that is what happened. I’ve installed many of sets at the shop but they were all 2nd gen. Nevertheless I fixed it and shipped him a new plate yesterday.

    Don't I remember reading and hearing they don't fit with a differential drop without modding?

    Before I bought from you I remember this from someone.

    Not ours. They were supposed to work with and without a diff drop and they did on the second gen Tacoma and we thought they did on the third gen Tacoma as well. Clearly something changed so we corrected the issue.
