    Nice! How was the kit to put together? Decent instructions? Fitment?
    I'm looking at one of their front bumpers and the skid plate packages. Have a mig welder and angle grinder.
    Just gotta sell my PS90 first to speed up the purchase of them.

    I've been curious about this and most leather cleaners, does is leave an oil-like resideo or will it dry?

    I mean, I guess. But I don't envision suspension parts being all loosey-goosey and shifting every which way just because I back out of the driveway.

    When you pull into your driveway, your wheels move up and toward the back of your truck. When you back out of your driveway, your wheels move up and toward the front of your truck. It’s common to rub in reverse but not in drive for this reason. It’s not that it’s loosey goosey, its just that your suspension is compressing in a different motion in reverse than in drive when you hit that low point out of your driveway.

    There just happens to be more room for your wheels to move in one direction compared to the other.

    No, not "glossy" or "oil-like". I use it in on the leather in our bimmer.

    Won't break the bank, but may want to try on the toyota leather, I know exactly what you don't want, so may try a small sample area. I just know it works well on the BMW leather. Our Taco is cloth, so no real info there.

    It's not oily at all. It only takes a little and rubs quite easily. I would highly recommend it.

    Maybe check that area again and make sure those latches are in the correct position under the bulkhead rail. That should sit flush.

    I found out you can stuff a 34” tire 315/75/16 in the spare tire spot with a little hammering and a ratchet strap to pull the tire away from the diff. This will suffice until I do a high clearance rear bumper to give more departure angle. 68916DE1-8C5B-4CF9-A98C-924D0DC714FB.jpg3649027E-E9DA-4755-B7D0-7FA36D2A471A.jpg 7E01DCFE-8D25-49A9-8B73-DC53B4643928.jpg

    It went together easy and the fitment was good.

    For most of the bumper the instructions were very clear. Slight issue I had was that the design changed between the instructions and the metal I received. The instructions had the top, face and bottom edge of the bumper as three pieces that get welded together. While the main body of the bumper I received was one piece that was bent making up the top, face and bottom. While the instructions didn't match it was pretty easy to see what I needed to do and they were responsive when I emailed them.

    All the pieces are just cut. They are smooth but some need a little grinding to get optimal angles for welding.

    When I do the front bumper I'll likely do another coastal.

    Edited to add couple commas

    Finally installed the bed lights on my 21 SR.
    First, I had to buy a used Tundra cargo light switch for $30 off eBay. I went with the Amazon bed light kit over the OEM kit and I already had the relay installed from the factory.

    Took all of 5m per side to install once I had the switch put in.

    Yeah, it was super easy. I didn't have to install a switch but taking them out was easy and putting them in. Def should have came with them. For only 65 dollars def worth it
