    On my double cab I got the evap bullshit in the way. I really don’t wanna remove the bed ... but I might, especially cus I have the cross member top bolts seized.
    Is all this evap stuff removable from under ?

    Hey man, shame you didn’t get any responses but how is that kit holding up were you able to relocate the gas tank and Evap stuff back like factory or did the kit interfere?

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Have to say the KP Off-road plates that @ForestRunnerFrank99 makes fit great and don't require relocating anything.

    I’ve seen those but didn’t know where to find them thanks guys. Those don’t come with the center support bar though correct? Gas tank also still has to be dropped, any other major bits that need to be removed? Looks like a solid kit though I will be looking into instead of the trailgear

    It has inclusions for the factory shock mounts, I covered them myself since I don't use them but you can install the plates on a stock truck no problemo. To what center support bar are you referring though?

    Sorry you’re so speedy I couldn’t keep up. That bar you have your shocks mounted to but I can do that in the future. I also might be getting a 7th injector kit for my supercharger so probably a good time to rip into the tank and the lines from there. It’s just a very big job I’m not too sure about but thanks for the help

    Thanks for the support! We designed ours to not require relocating anything and to be as plug and play as possible. We actually just confirmed they fit DC Tacoma's as well:

    You only need to notch the D2 plate a bit to clear the E-locker breather if you have one.
