    I did it over a white rag on my bench. Just take your time and watch for the two little plastic pieces on top the springs. I feel like the guys that had issues, rushed or were careless with it.

    Yeah just take your time, pay attention, and use common sense. Don’t force things back together and take a video of disassembly if needed to see how it goes back together. It’s pretty simple if you’re somewhat handy

    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    Except for Clazzios, Meso shift knob, stereo and removing entire interior for sound deadening I haven't changed the interior. Its basically all stock.
    What you did is too much for me but make it yours. Looks like a lot of work you put in and Its your truck so do what makes you happy and enjoy. :hattip:

    (*not directed at @20tacoma17, just using the quote to tie in)

    Based off @JRLYON ’s post, I get the feeling after the first few, he just kept going more to troll himself and see the responses.

    One thing I love about TW is when people can laugh at themselves.

    Well, my cable shipped without the required sma connector installed so I can't answer that question yet. Hopefully here Monday. I used the same setup from this video:

    little bit of here and a little bit of that...
    Take tail lights off, then plug led lights into dummy wires (for 2020) and put tail lights back on. Easy

    That’s a waste, it’s a ripe off- go make your own for cheaper, I don’t get it so therefore it’s stupid! :rofl: In before the “regulars” :anonymous:

    btw I have the Etsy/misfits version (which I may or may not of tighten 1 corner screw down too tight and cracked the corner off. It’s not really noticeable and will probably sell in the bst) but I have already ordered and waiting on my hatch sans cup holders :D

    Thought I would share this with my Tacoma brothers and sisters.
    For anyone looking to match the paint on your beds head and accessory rails Rust-Oleum makes a "Textured" spray paint that is an exact match. Same sheen, same texture. In fact if you sprayed one rail and compared it to a new OEM rail I would bet you couldn't tell the difference, it's that close.

    Yeah, I admit it I suffer from OCD! :anonymous:

    Swapped my winters for my summer set. Only to find out that there is snow in the forecast lol.

    I had to use a big hammer to knock off the rear wheels. They were corroded on the drums. 5 months of winter :facepalm:
