    Same accessory head rail fits both 2nd and 3rd Gen Tacoma if that's what you're asking. Mounts with the existing headrail using the same torx screws.
    Around $50 on Amazon and on the web, usually more at your dealership. Shop around on the Internet for the best price.

    Did you use a particular paint to do em? I assume either Rustoleum or Krylon spray paint, as they both make paints for plastic...? Did you prep the surface at all?

    I did notice that, which is a bummer because I put on some nice Rokblokz flaps. (Or go a slightly smaller tire)

    Could be his first Tacoma and just unfamiliar with Tacomas in general.
    Everybody starts somewhere.
    Took a shot, if I've been had oh well!

    Mainly because it was a 3rd gen in the post, and the side rails fit with a cover, one would have to assume the back would too.

    Either way.. you were just being the god damn sweetheart that you always are!

    If you are talking about the negative arch that's the way my '17 OR came as well. I added a single AAL to give me 1.5" lift - of course that fixed the "frowning" leafs.

    Did you take your truck into the dealership and had them look at it before you added the single AAL?

    No because I looked at a few other Tacomas and they were the same way so I figured that's just the way they were. :(

    Yeah I also looked at a few on tacomaworld and asked them if they had the dealership look at there trucks and they all said no... So we will see what they say when I take it in tomorrow to the dealership... I'm sure they will tell me to kick rocks but you never know.

    Both of those paints are good. All I did was lightly sand the existing grey paint to scuff it, cleaned the surface then shot it twice with the color.

    Alright doll-face, c'mon and bore me!
    Way to turn that frown upside down!

    Seriously, there's no way anyone's going to convince me that max'd out springs with no load is normal or acceptable.

    Interesting. Mine does not look like that. I don't think there is some design difference.

    Ah, didn't know that. Thought they were different TBH. Do you know if that rail would fit with a tri-fold cover on top?

    My truck is an SR5 but I believe it uses the same leaves as all the 3rd gen Tacomas and they were not negatively arched when i bought it nor when I added an AAL a year later.

    Not today (at 22 degrees with snow on the ground), but this month I've installed the remote start kit and front-facing camera, and installed the metal Toyota oil filter housing to replace the factory plastic. And had the General Grabber Arctics put on for the winter (mounted on 17" 4Runner wheels as found on fb marketplace).
