    No issues getting it back on. I tried to be pretty conservative on not getting the Noico anywhere near the edge or mounting points.

    Currently I have rear suspension prepped for a camper shell without the camper shell so i'm definitely more raked front to back. So if anything my headlights are currently pointed more down at the ground that a stock Tacoma. I'll keep an eye on it though!

    I didn't bother with TPMS sensors, so I will either live with the light on, or eventually bypass the system. Since it's only an idiot light and I have yet to own a vehicle with a more comprehensive system, I doubt I will miss having it...

    New aluminum skid up front!
    I might try to add more points of contact in the rear.

    I remember removing those front braces to mount my RCI skid and the whole thing sits up higher. The rear of the skid mates up to the frame.

    What @point45 said, definitely sitting in the wrong spot. Pop those braces off and you’ll be golden :thumbsup:

    Also, I had to source the rear most bolts which you’ll probably have to do since we have the same truck...m8 I believe

    I was going to say something doesn't look right with that. My RCI skids sit up much higher and more flush then that.

    Thank you, Gents! I installed it in the gym parking lot. Luckily only a mile from my house.

    The Head Unit is pretty great. Uses all the stock features. Even runs my dash cam. It's a tablet so can do anything your ipad can do. My kids love it for movies on long trips.

    The driveline vibes something fierce, thereby throwing off the machine guns aim @ rendering them useless. But it goes away again at 17mph.

    I can't find it in my Amazon history. Pretty sure @boogie3478 has a link to it. That's how I found it.
