    The first page had some tips on correcting it. At 5k service I am going to ask about having it addressed before trying my self. Hopefully with others having the issue they know how to address easily.

    I was able to fix one side, I might just remove the entire bumper and attempt to line it up will see how it goes

    I just removed my fenderflare and pushed the bumper cover seemed to fix that side. I'll try removing the headlight bolt on the other side see if it helps. It's just weird why it only happens to Ceme tacomas

    I’m having this issue as well. I tried to adjust the headlight bolt but still didn’t work. Asked Toyota as well and they told me they can’t do anything about it.

    That looks like either it's not snapped all the way into the channel, or the little tabs in the channel are broken.

    Yeah..never found the fix, I've learned to live it with it. I plan on adding a bumper when she's paid off. I tried removing the bumper cap and re installation. Same outcome

    I also have a bigger gap on the passenger side, have already tried adjusting it, gave up.

    While giving the engine a wipe down today, noticed my hood is also higher on the drivers side, going to try and adjust those rubber bonnets.

    As for the hood, which side is the good side that I should match to? Can anyone post a pic of the hood released to compare? Drivers side, my pinky finger fits between the headlight and hood if that helps.

    FML, wish I wouldn't notice these kind of things lol.

    Don’t lookup “gapping” on urban dictionary.

    What does your hood look like when it is closed? That’s what counts.

    My day was going just fine and then I see this thread and now I'm pacing around nervously wondering if I have this issue too. Going to get out my calipers and check my gaps.
