    I used a Philips head stainless and also cut the spacer in half to position the head further away from the tire.

    Adam, what is the thickness of that flap? Would you mind getting a measurement with a micrometer or a close reading with a tape? Thanks.

    Joined the forum, cleaned and tensioned my winch syn rope and finally figured out where the issue was that was making my front facing camera (aftermarket) flicker all the time when offroad. Looks like it's completely resolved, thank goodness, it always turned off when i needed it on the trail.
    Also washed and waxed it, so now it's too clean and it's time to get it dirty again!

    Awesome setup! Welcome to TW!

    How do you like having a front camera? I've debated whether or not to install one, but I have heard from some that it's hard to get a good idea of depth perception with them making it useless. I'm pretty short, so seeing over the hood is a struggle sometimes when wheeling... :oops:

    Love having the camera, it took a bit to get used to with where my tires really will be/follow compared to the view on the camera, but i was able to turn on some grid lines and get them inline with where my tires are, so now that i trust (and maybe i shouldn't) where my tires lineup with the camera, it's been a game changer. Never had a front camera before on any vehicle and always thought it would likely be useless, but on the trail it's great when cresting a hill, viewing position of a rock when i don't have a spotter, etc. My buddy uses his for pulling all the way up in the garage too, but I don't fit in the garage anymore so that one doesn't apply to me. It's a great mod and now that it looks like it will not flicker anymore (found the loose wire connection and it was dirty too) I'm stoked to know it'll assist me all the time on the trail.

    Many thanks. You have contributed to a less than important, yet soon to be informational, research project.

    Picked up my truck from the installer. Got the Katzkin kit from the group buy on this site, looks OEM, very pleased!

    I didn't know I wanted these seat covers, but apparently I do! I knew joining this forum was going to cost me money! :)
    Looks great F16Deuce!

    They aren't seat covers. The factory leather or cloth gets stripped and replaced with Katzkin leather. I would say they are way better than any factory option.

    Right on, that's even better for sure!
    Thanks for the info, obviously I didn't know they fully replaced the factory setup.
    Lot's of new and awesome stuff for me to learn about on this forum.

    (A while back) installed a header rail to the front of the bed.


    Took advantage of the 3-day weekend to handle a couple of issues that had been bothering me:

    Installed locks on the bed storage cubbies.

    Followed @mutely's instructions (https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/plug-n-play-harness-to-relocate-usb-port.510714/) to move the USB data port to the armrest and convert the dash port to power-only while adding an additional USB port in the armrest.

    Adam, I would suggest a button head bolt. They are rounded like a little bump. Either Phillips or Hex drive would suffice.
    The round head will have a lower profile, yet just glide over the tire without chunking it.

    Otherwise do a countersunk bolt and no washer.

    I would shorten the spacer and use this type of self tapping SS screw.

    Install looks good but I would recommend wrapping the USB cable in plastic wire loom.
