    New front and rear speakers, thanks Crutchfield! Nothing exciting to see with a basic speaker install, but...

    ...found a piece of plastic protective cover they missed on the PDI :rofl:

    I've had the truck 3 months, and apparently I've not looked in from the passenger side!

    That texturing is purposeful and actually helps prevent rock chips from kicked up rocks.

    Since everyone either ignored your actual question, or miss read what your asking. The best way you can fix this is with a heat gun on low, or a hair drier. Get the paint protection film warm and you should be able to push it into those bubbles, and they should disappear.

    Congratulations @Amuzed2death! I finally got one last week to replace one shived last October right above the G. The Michelin factory shut down due to Covid in March 2020 - hopefully they're back up and pushing out tires again.

    The shelter we got her from called her a Beagle mix. Pit, Beagle, and I think Lab. Same type of hair as my old yellow lab, and she loves to swim!

    Bought my TRD pro for 26.5 with under 10k miles. It’s worth almost 10k more according to kbb. I dunno if all my mods increase or decrease that value lmfao

    I would rather be the U.S. than Japan. Cell phones, biotech, space, finance, airplanes. . . all the things of the future, not the past.

    I've read the same thing on here plenty of times. And, looking at where it attaches, sure, it doesn't SEEM like the best point. But let's all be real here, it's the exact same place that Toyota puts their OE recovery points. The basic loops are welded to that thing, and if you have a TRDOR or Pro (correct me if I'm wrong, I think those are the only two that have the larger hook) that's exactly what the big fancy schmancy hook bolts up to as well. I know, I have one.

    Now, being in industrial design, I do think those demon brackets could be designed a little better. The rear side could be raised higher and possibly wrapped over the top, to provide a better purchase on the cross bar. They could have used a solid eye, instead of stacking plate (presuming this is because of their material cutting capabilities). But overall I think they're an ok product. I don't personally have them, but I have two buddies that do, and I'd give them a green light.

    The arb recovery does look to use the same holes as the stock tow hooks, but also mounts to the frame as well. Not just that shitty sub frame. I mean it’s your (or whoever’s) truck and decision, but I’d never use one for anything but towing on flat pavement. Nor would I get pulled out by someone using that point on their truck.
