    I got mine from @gunny1005 who at one time worked at a Toyota dealership and sold folks parts on TW. Not sure if he still does that or not but I suppose you can message him.

    Noticed you had an 08 so make sure this is the right part for your year. I'm not familiar with the interiors of all the second gens.

    Ha it is a nice easy swap, I felt the same way you did. Wasn't sure if it would look decent or feel cheap. For $200 it does feel surprisingly nice.

    Nice photos, Nice Truck. Of all the configurations of trucks, Toyota or others, the Tacoma Access Cab looks more at home Off-Road than any other, this of course is just my opinion. (I wonder if that is because I own one)

    No, nothing wrong with them. I haven’t done anything to them since install. The only thing I did at install was spray paint the bolts black so they didn’t stick out like a sore thumb.

    Got it muddy this weekend

    After some close calls with limbs and low hanging branches, I decided it was time for a set of limb risers. Way cheaper than a new windshield.

    I started on the lower mounts

    So......kinda did a thing especially when I saw the price, will report on any feel and "gains" when I install it.

    Paid $42 via Amazon Warehouse as a damaged package...let's hope it comes with all parts.

    I read somewhere on here that spacers for the throttle body don't do anything and a good upgrade is a Tundra (I think) throttle body.

    I built my bed rails out of a series of L-brackets and aluminum framing extrusions. There is a diy thread here somewhere that I posted on with more info. The basket rack from Cabela’s just clamps around my bed rails. PM if you wanna know anything else.
