    Even if just to have "bump" protection it's worth it...

    So my cheap little seat cover has been trying to lift on the front corner,

    The awesome 4 dollar fix,

    A set of Irish Kilt pins on the cover and a nice zip-tie to the seat rail and then after cutting the end off you rotate it under and out of the way,

    Wohoo!!!!!

    My g/f always is saying I should have been an engineer, hahah

    Oh and dang it, today at the dealer they had to lube the parts they replaced last week as they were pretty dry and squeaking like crazy,

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/T71FHBhYoXQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    They got it repaired in less than 30 minutes for me,

    I had a chance to sit in a used 2011 with the auto tranny and buckets and crap the buckets are way more comfortable than my bench,:-(

    I am SOOOOO wanting to trade.....but I must wait, they will get no more 2013s but I may be able to look into a 2014,

    So far I've added an Advance folding bed cover and since removed it. Gave it to my son in Maine, he has an 05 2wd. GT perfect fit seat covers. Weathertech floor mats and window vent visors. Waag center brush/grill guard. Hose clamp tailgate mod. Turned off the seat belt chime. Added Ultra-Gauge. Trailer hitch. Softopper. Replaced sun visors with slide out style. Toyota bed extender. Had Firestone Destinations and now Michelin LTX AT2 in stock size. More mods to come; Fog lights, locking storage in bed, intermittent wipers. Now looking for Radio/HU upgrade. and maybe a lift way down the road.
    I thought the two tone died with disco. Ha Ha

    I have read a lot on TW about the amazing clutch on the manual transmissions. So here it goes, does anyone with a manual trans have an issue with their clutch pedal kicking out to the left slightly within the first 1 inch of engaging the clutch? It does not seem to interfere with shifting, but I am wondering if it is an issue that I should be concerned about or do I just have to live with it. Thanks for any responses.

    You need to try and get a picture or video of that,

    I have 21,000 miles on my 2012 MT clutch RC 4x4, and no movement with the pedal at all, just forward and back, the pedal is plastic though, I would take a look underneath and just see if anything looks odd or out of place,

    FWIW, this was the squeak after the TSB but the dealer was able to lubricate the parts.

    Zack, thanks for the response. I will see what I can do. The movement is very slight, but noticeable. I checked out everything and nothing looks unusual. It may just be that plastic pedal. I may take it in to the dealership ... If anything to check out some other '13 manual clutch pedals.

    Gelo, I've been searching but have come up with no real fix. Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks man.

    My '09 feels straight. 60k miles no noise, nothing... seems fine like day 1.
