    No doubt, not at all surprised. These are definitely different times.

    It's complicated.
    Your point of the Loctite was good--and I've used that super-duper industrial stuff that takes an acetylene torch and 4 people, to remove.

    We seem to have very industrious crews of thieving bastards--and maybe they only look like meth-heads. They carry quality tools too--no harbor freight garbage for them.

    Huge improvement over stock. Another instance where Toyota missed the boat on our Tacos. Those dim yellow lights didn't get it for me either.
    I think that was the 2nd mod that I did right after the bed mat.

    Great patch. Would love to have one of them. I was referring to the piece that you are putting the patches on.

    That is the folded down headrest on the rear seat back. Damn things in the upright position block out rearward view!

    I bought mine on line from a dealership, I just kept shopping around until I found the best deal. Try keeping an eye on the Buy, Sell and Trade thread. You could also watch Craigs List, LetGo as well as the other online private sale sites. I suppose you could also call local auto salvage yards, you never know what they might have.
    You best bet in my opinion is either here on BST or shop around for new. One thing is certain, for what they sell for nobody's giving them away. Good luck! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

    I've used a lot of loctite in my life and never come across any that requires a oxy/acetylene torch to brake free, are you sure your not referring to natures loctite called cross threading?? I'm not one to judge, like I always say, "cross threads are better then no threads"

    Finished my light install. I used a BAMF behind the grill light rack, Rigid R-Series 46 Driving Lights, Blue Sea Fuse panel, Buss breaker, and some new Seger horns.

    The fogs are Morimoto XB LED.
