    Would someone with Rokblokz be so kind to post a picture of their front wheel wells with them installed? I know I'm not exactly aligned in this photo but the most inner point has a huge gap from the mudflap to the fender wells. The provided screw 1.75" with spacer seems to be too short unless I bend the mudflap in towards the fender well...Is it supposed to be bent in? The rears mount up fine with the spacers etc.

    Am I doing something wrong here? Do people tend to go with just 2 screws instead of 3? Or bend the inner most point in?

    I had one with a gas engine. My next one will be electric. Plug it in, hook up the water, turn it on and rock and roll.

    2012 SR5 2.7 5spd man 4x4 AC
    Hey Folks, new Tacoma owner of about 1 month have put about 800 miles on a stock 2012 silver Tacoma SR5 2.7l 4x4 5spd man with 115k. Getting to know the quirks (just found a rather large wet spot under floor mat passenger side.... and have been reading threads on that). Seems to have been a work truck, so finding a lot of dust and some rough edges places, but overall looks very well maintained, appears to have been Fluid Filmed it's life, single owner.

    I installed an UltraGauge which I am loving helping increase MPG.

    Put some aluminum seat risers from:
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...at-jackers-seat-spacers.637813/#post-21980694

    Installed tailgate safety device from Christian06:

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/anti-tweaker-device.603258/#post-20308620

    Got bed stiffeners from :ATHFAB --- Bed about 1/4" -3/8" splayed out in pass side.

    Huskey Floor mats from Amazon

    Saddleman Canvas Grey and Black seat covers from autoanything.com

    Looking into some 16" TRD aluminum rims and TRD suspension for additional upgrades.

    Planning on removing carpet and probably putting down OEM rubber type flooring material as my carpet is somewhat old and funky.

    Dealer will be installing a new clutch because it is having the transmission/clutch rattle.

    Will need to do AC musty treatment, and figure out where this water is coming in from that pools under the floor mat! Have run the hose and checked the usualy suspects but nothing yet. Once warmer will take off cowl and see what's under there, but cold leads to snapping plastic pieces (not sure if that will apply to removal of cowl.) Looking for Aluminum cap for bed, as 2.7 already struggling , need to keep weight down.

    Been very helpful to read all these threads! Will keep ya'll posted.

    I say keep it chrome or remove it. my vote is keep it the way it is. Though I think debadging looks like your vehicle was repaired after an accident and you got too cheap to afford new badges, blacking out badges on a black vehicle is weird.

    One of the mounting holes on the oem ones was cracked so figured I’d give these a try.

    I got mine from Ronin. Not the bullet-looking one, but the stubby one. Works ok, not as good as the OEM antenna though.
