    Earlier years? My '97 has them which is why I couldn't put my fuse block and relays there.

    It got new red paint without clear coat. I left most of the badges off except for the tacoma under side mirrors. Fuel Maverick 17 in wheels with 265/70r17 coopers. Still need to paint the inside of the bed but it needs to get a little warmer.

    It is the "charcoal canister", later trucks have it mounted over the fuel tank, makes servicing it a real joy. It "filters" evaporative emissions from the tank.

    EVERYTHING is pretty much worthless on sliders honestly haha

    But I agree, use paint or bedliner.

    I use bedliner (especially areas used as a step) and then touch up when needed with spray paint to keep the rust off.

    Thanks everyone. Learned something new today haha so i guess servicing wise it's better in the location it's at? I do find it interesting all the minute changes they did over the years. Can't say they aren't constantly trying to improve the truck, even if body styles stayed the same for certain year groups.

    I'm just going to spray more bedliner on it. Rustoleum is great about forming back into older bedliner.

    Just waiting on a warm and calm day which never happens in Missouri... Haha
