What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

thats the lip that bolts to the edge of bed. If I was to try and bend that it would just break off. Mcneil bedsides are garbage. I want everyone to know.

 

Cool … I’ll keep ya posted

 

Try a heat gun and heat up one spot at a time and bend it towards the bed so it can be attached? I had to do this to bend fiberglass over fenders for a car a while back.

 

Heat works on fiberglass like that? Ill try it for sure

 

Yes. NHL. If you look close, you can see I'm watching the game on my head unit

 

Yeah it will actually move quite a bit for you. From the pic I believe it will work for sure. I had a much larger gap that I made work.

Sorry about the product though. Good you’re letting people know though so further money isn’t waisted. The average person wouldn’t be able to make that work at all.

 

The fronts are good. You can tell they are new. The bedsides have clearly been on a different truck and returned. I have read their stuff is made in mexico and not usa anymore as well.

 

But I will def try heating it up, thanks again!

 

Be sure to check that the tape measures are the same. Even same brand same model I’ve seen them off by a couple inches before.
Most are fine, but manufacturing errors happen… I work in manufacturing, I’ve seen it all.

 

Makes sense and seems as if that’s the case with everything nowadays. I appreciate the info.

 

When my gf asks why she still can't drive my truck after 3 years, I'll show her this post.

 

It was sarcasm

 

The measurements are not supposed to be equal. It's supposed to have a shorter measurement in front than the rear. I think it's a 1/8th inch difference. Modern alignment machines measure it in degrees.

 

Installed the @MESO customs map lights. Can't wait til the domes are back in stock!
Also ordered bed stiffeners finally.

 

I set the toe to 0. I should have specified that when I was explaining the process.

 

You did, it was just worded differently.

 

I have the Nova series on my '14 and I love the output. They are bright, I can finally see further down the road, and the beams have a clean cut cut-off. No oncoming vehicles have flashed their lights at me, as if I was blinding them.

 

6 months later and well worth the wait!

 

Made up an air distribution block and ran the line to the rear fitting on the truck. The front bumper fitting had already been ran. Now I can keep a shorter air line to air up the front and back separately. Also prepped the rear and of the truck for winter.



Changed the rear diff oil and added a Lexus drain plug so that I don’t have to keep chiseling the stock bolt to come off from dragging her ass around.

 

what rear bumper are you running there? Looks great
