    Awesome, thanks! The smaller piece is only surface rust, so not too worried about that.

    How much for all those bolts? My old Method wheels had 96 altogether, but replacing the bolts would have been a bit costly.

    When I did my flares, I searched on Amazon by the actual part number and got the correct clips and edge trim at half the price. If you look at my restoration page, I show you how to repair the clip holders on the flares.

    I saw that for repairing the incredibly weak clip mounts.

    I think at this point I’m going to just run without fenders and eventually get bushwacker fenders

    That's pretty cheap. I was looking for 96 stainless to replace the originals, but I guess I wasn't looking in the right place.

    You can see the bracket here (I haven't had time to put it in).
    The whole canister was like $30 more so it was a no brainer.

    The app i use to calculate mileage tells me i'm getting 18-19 mpg..... lies or truth? I'm on 285s with heavy front and rear bumpers, and i'm not a slow driver.

    Wired in and mounted my smittybilt compressor on the truck. Beats having to carry around the bag and setting it up on the ground. I was able to use the stock rubber pads it came with and all of the hardware. I added some washers prior to where the lock nuts hit the sheet metal for added security.

    Hey everybody. Just saying hi, I've been spending way to much money on other things and the tacoma hasn't gotten any love. I'm still snooping on this page though. That is all.
