    I’m guessing you’ve already pulled the foam out. So yeah, let it sit on the residue for a few minutes and start wiping.

    I agree with about 95% of what you wrote however there are benefits to a spacer lift. 1. Allows taller tires which improves ground clearance. 2. Lifts the vehicle higher to allow for better visibility - with or without traffic. 3. Lifts the vehicle and allows for the road/terrain to be lit up better with the vehicles headlights and whatever other lights are on it, including those #×/<)! raptor lights. 4. Allows taller drivers like myself to get into their truck without bashing their head on the roof/upper door jam. 5. Allows larger and heavier tires which softens the ride.

    But yeah, 95%.

    Some people don't have the funds or don't want to spend the funds on the best of everything.

    My truck cost me $5k, not the $35k or whatever it is that you wrote.

    I never wrote people shouldn't review products, I didn't write people shouldn't express their opinions, and I didn't even write that a well respected member of the community shouldn't express the reviews they've read online, I wrote that reviews have to be taken with a grain of salt - especially if the person giving the review doesn't have direct personnel experience with what they're reviewing.

    Less black and white, add more grey.

    When I mounted my Plano case here in SoCal the glue for the top foam lasted about a week before the heat had its way with it and it started to come off on its own. Maybe try a heat gun?

    As far as I can tell they’re just fine. Not sure how many times I’ve actually hit them though.

    I got into an accident 2 years ago and the insurance company tired to tell me it was totaled when the repairs were going to be like 7k I argued and told them Its not the base and it is still worth over 15k. They had no clue and fixed it right away for me. Don't trust them if they say its totaled. Look at the cost to fix and how much it is worth in good condition and they will most likely fix it. You'd think they would know how well a Tacoma holds it value.
