    After days of searching and trying to understand how my brakes work on a 2014 Tacoma Sport, I dropped it off at a local trusted shop and said "flush brakes and replace anything that needs to be replaced".
    Wasn't comfortable in knowing 1) do I have an electric boost motor, or not 2) key on and press brake to enable pump, or not 3) and a few other things...

    All is good and I had a nice walk back to work and back to the shop. Full flush and bleed $108. I've done every other fluid but this one made me hesitant. Maybe next time.

    Looks great!
    Do you mind sharing where you purchased both the tail lights and head lights from?

    I got the headlights on ebay and the taillights from 1 A auto. 1 A auto did me a solid as the first set they sent me had a small crack on the top of the passenger light. (See pic) I wrote them and they sent me a replacement set that were good. They just told me to keep the first set, with small crack, and give them to someone or donate them to a tech school type place. I will buy more or most of my parts from 1 A auto from now on. I have the first set still and nothing to do with them as they're just sitting in my garage.

    Yes it does since I don't like Chrome and the truck is magnetic grey metallic.

    Thanks! And score on keeping the initial set. Might be good to keep them on the side anyway since the individual LED's can tend to go out and now you have some backup. I just checked out the site and I'm glad to see that their shipping to Hawaii is reasonable.

    I have the same concern, but for road driving and Baltimore city potholes its held up so far. I will add some kind of strap if I need to in the future.

    I have had a Bakflip G2 tri-fold for 10 years on my 2nd gen in New England and it has been AMAZING. I am in the process of replacing some of the rubber seals and stuff that have started to wear and tear from constant usage. I Had to Liquid Nails (fuze it) 1 of the crossmembers back into place since the factory adhesive had started to sag over the summer heat. I went ahead and Fuzed the other crossmember along the edges and some of the areas that it was starting to gap also. I purchased a couple of parts from BakFlip direct to replace the other worn parts.

    BAKFLIP CAB BUMPER KIT (2)- $9.96 replacing the protective bumpers that are on each of the 3 sections. They are starting to tear
    BAKFLIP ELEVATOR BOLT KIT-$9.98 -starting to rust
    BAKFLIP DRAIN TUBES (1)-$6.98 - many season changes are making them harden and starting to clog.
    BAKFLIP DRAIN CAPS (1) -$5.98- they seem to be ok, but im doing it all anyways so $5 is not bad.
    BAKFLIP PROP ROD (2)-$23.96- same as before... preventative part of project.
    BAKFLIP/RX2 FLAT RAIL SEAL- $15.98 Runs down the sides of the truck bed it takes the weight of the cover. It is fully compressed in some areas and tearing in others.
    Order Total: $77.47


    Totally worth the initial $850+ that they cost 11 years ago

    I can probably just clear silicone the crack and they'll be just fine I think. Having them as a back up set is incase I have any issues with this set.
