    I have a hard time seeing a patent being granted for a sheet of plastic with cutouts for cup holders, so I wouldn’t worry.

    Is there a kit available to do this or did you do it from scratch?

    Yesterday I finished installing the Audio Plus 500 Reference audio upgrade that I bought through @TacomaBeast. The "plug and play" system is not quite as simple as they make it out to be and their documentation is outdated but the sound is a vast improvement over the stock speakers.

    No kit. All oem parts besides custom crossmember from RST. Exhaust and hole for shifter have to be modified/engineered to work properly

    What suspension are you coming from and how does it ride? I have 5100s/885s with spc UCA with sway bar removed and it ride pretty good, I'm curious on how these real coilovers ride

    What am I looking for here? Is it that black ring on the tailgate hinge?

    Johnstown is a pretty nice area also.
    You have some great surf fishing in your backyard if you're near the coast.

    How'd you get the chrome off? I tried sandblasting, and the bleach method. Bleach would have worked, but it would've taken too many applications. Plus finding a container to fit a Tacoma grill isn't easy.

    I wasn’t planning on stripping the chrome but a grinding disk got it started. Took me about 4 miserable hours. No beer or anything. Pretty disappointed in myself for that!

    Nothing worse than a mod that gets out of hand and you have to finish. I spent 2 hours trying to get torque converter in FJ tranny during my swap and was about to call it quits until I remembered the truck was my ride home and had to get it finished

    I believe it’s the anti-theft bracket over the tailgate hinge.
