The solution is to move the deer crossings !

We sure don't need deer bars. They're bad enough when sober.

 

Is there a video of how to pop them off? No taking the dash apart?

 

Just lightly pry under each tab. The grey and black are separate parts.

 

Correct, no taking the dash apart. Follow this youtube clip from AJT for the ring removal. Its pretty easy to remove them but don't force them.

Grey plastidip on the engine cover?

 

Knocked out the A/C drain mod today... the heater hose flattened out a bit to make the bend, but thankfully it’s not kinked. I’m a little shocked that Toyota let that drip right on top of a frame rail. Only 3000 miles on the truck and there was already plenty of chalky residue from the drain on the frame. TW forums for the win once again for having a great write-up on the fix.




Edited: Check found OK, see picture below. Also forgot to mention that I ran the tubing a little farther aft than in the original mod write up... original had it coming out right next to the back of the LCA. Instead, I continued along the frame rail back to the XMSN support crossmember and brought it out there. Works well so far!

 

do you know anything about the Maestro TO2 ? apparently it saves a lot of time with wires. did you install that also?

 

What is this mod? Link?

Added the Bakflip MX4 and debadged, I was torn whether or not to paint the badges and put them back on. Then I remembered how I hate to try and clean and wax the truck around them so they will stay off.

 

Looks very carefully finished, so what is the purpose of that bed?

 

Thank you!

Swapped tires for Thunderer Trac Grip MT 265/75-16

 

Yes, Sir! Super simple & effective mod!

 

I must have blown right by that one. Simple is best most of the time!

 

Does anyone else have this problem??
Should I get a new leaf pack or add to it? I was thinking about taking it in to the dealership it's still under the warranty but I'm sure they will not do shit to help fix it. I took these pictures of the truck on flat ground with no weight in the back.

 

That sucks.
