    I made up a cardboard version of the hitch reciever step, I'm going to get one made up.

    I'd love to do skids for 5 lugs, I just need to spend some time under one. Any volunteers?

    Lot of motorcycle owners here. How about kickstand plates. Keep from scarring up the garage floor. Friend of mine, quite a few years ago gave me a piece of diamondplate small enough to fit in back pocket so when on a ride if you pulled into a parking lot with soft asphalt you could put that plate down so when you came out your bike wasnt taking a nap.

    Or if the pieces were big enough do some sort of garage wall art, what, dont know, but am sure someone could come up with some good ideas.

    TacomaWorld.Com emblems.

    Custom cut pieces to in between the ribbing under the hood? :notsure: would be quite the custom underhood look.

    Just a few thoughts...

    Look into the "gator saver" on Toyota Nation, it should have all the info for a tailgate reinforcement.

    I FINALLY have finished my prototype hitch step. Let me know what you think! I should be able to produce these in the very near future. Also, any interest in a group buy?
