Just read the reviews and nope. Not gonna go there. Nice idea but poorly executed. Tons of people saying the don't fit.

 

Can I ask where did you order cloned sensors and how much ?

 

I’ll send them to ya.

 

I had the same issue as well - I just put a hoseclamp on the exhaust hanger and tightened it until the pipe cleared. 30 second fix that didn’t require dropping the skid again. The hose clamps don’t last forever though, so I may put spacers like in the link you shared.

 

i just loosened to bolts and then removed one at a time the ones i needed to put washers in. i didnt want to have to fight them again lol it worked out, didnt think about the hose clamp thing also a good idea..

 

Ok so I went to Home Depot today…when I was leaving I saw this MFer with his legs kicking out the back of his truck bed. My initial thought was to see if he needed help but I lost it and busted out laughing and couldn’t stop…I had to walk away…I laughed the entire way home

 

I got these from Amazon. I only have a few miles on them, but they seem to reading fine.

I bought the programmer as well. I’m hoping I can find a few more uses for it. Trying to figure out a good way to “loan” it out to other folks that might need it.

What's so funny? He's just trying to work under his tonneau cover. Been there....done that!

 

My daughter put these on her 16 they fit but took some pressure to get them on.

 

Tacoma World, helping me spend my money again!!

 

Took the opportunity to install my VLED footwell lighting kit. Only one hiccup, and that was putting the A-Pillar cover back on... The small white clip that holds the cover to the pillar came off, and went down into the dash, and eventually behind the driver's kick-panel... It sounded like I was on Price playing Plinko.

Love the lights (aqua) at night, but would have preferred a white when the dome light is on. But since I don't spend a lot of time in the truck with the door open at night....

 

couldn't he just open it?

 

If your flexible....why bother. Don't really need to open the cover to slide some bags in.

 

yea it looks normal

 

Thanks man! I remember seeing this here. I just did the engine and transmission skid for now. Debating on the exhaust reroute before doing the transfer case skid since that’s the one that can make contact with the factory exhaust routing. If I forego the reroute I’ll definitely keep this in mind. I believe RCI has an option for the rerouted exhaust when ordering the TC skid. Much appreciated!

 

Yeah that dude don't look like he's very flexible.
Looks more like he's stuck!

 

Yes I did. It’s in my build thread. Page 1, 3 & 7

 

Finally, no more squeaks! Ugh, word to the wise, if you do a CMR, pony up for the premium bushings first.
Also, these bad boys arrived! Can’t wait to start the BHLM. Clear lenses and tuned!

and.. a few more stickers

 

Finally gave my 21’ dc sb army green trd OR a good thorough wash… it’s got 4000 miles now and still had some adhesive on the fenders from the factory protective film… weather hasn’t been great since purchase and it’s been bugging me for months that it looked like scratches on the fenders, gone now. Perhaps some pictures tomorrow.
