    From what I read about the rules, you are correct.
    If this is your resolve, rather than ignore, move on, do not read, do not respond to whatever said poster has posted, that is your choice.
    I guess recess is over.

    Given the rust hole pictured, I would say you have bigger issues to look into than just spacing a mount up.

    I would take a close look at all 6 bed mounting points and see how they look.

    I am not sure on either question.

    I guess I am thinking I'll hang onto the old TB for a while yet. It has some known-good parts on it, like the TPS, that may be nice to have at some point. My friend Dan @drr actually sent my TB into Max Bore for me so I am note sure of the turnaround time for that.

    I suggest a good cleaning of the IAC as well. It's not difficult, just remove from TB, remove sealant from screws, remove screws, clean and slap back together. Dropped my idle from 1000+ to right around 650. Not fully disassembling doesn't help much and I believe why many people replace their IAC thinking it's not functioning correctly.

    It’s only a week or so turnaround from MaxBore, they’re pretty fast. Definitely helpful to have a spare TB to swap on if you can’t have your truck out of commission for that long.

    Added some stiffening to the frame mounting plates. I pity the fool who bumps his knees/car on this bumper.

    I haven't taken them out yet but that could make difference. I ordered it with the raptor lights already installed. When they put the lights in they drilled through the mesh of the grill so there may be some open holes... Not crazy about that tbh.

    For me, I think raptor lights are dumb and the TACOMA is too big. That's my worthless opinion.

    Yeah I'd like it better with the lights gone and the tacoma gone. Just the mesh and the stripes.

    I agree, I like the mesh grill itself but was never a fan of the big TACOMA lettering on the front, the smaller TOYOTA lettering like the Landcruisers have can look nice though.
