Thanks and great picture of the back side. I installed a bakflip tonneau that uses the stock side rails for mounting. I am planning on installing L-track onto the side walls 2 inches below the stock rails. Some of the holes are inacesable or too far to reach. The rivnuts will work perfectly. I am also using the left over lengths from the 6 foot L-track on the cab side of the bed like what you did. Yes, I found the McMaster supply for rivnuts today. Rivnuts on order today. L-track arrived last Friday. Where I can reach it will be fender washers and nylock nuts with stainless 1/4-20 screws.

I had guessed the silver tool was being used as a washer with a handle to hold down rivnut and keep from rotating. It beats the cost of real rivnut install tool costs.

Fuck......i wanna be a glorious beacon of light

 

I set the camber all the way out, but had to go to the F setting so that I could make it to the shop without grinding off my 33's. That's where I'm at... Thanks for confirming!

 

I used this to do eyebrow and rear slider on mine. Haven't had any issues with it. Been on truck for over 3 yrs now.

 

Was doing some reasearch on Tacoma bumpers.

If you have a garage or the weather is warm enough you can use a heat gun CAREFULLY and sloooow and pop that out pretty good. I've done it on a couple of my friends cars. If it were on a door or something that's out of my league. But plastic part it works pretty good. If you're a perfectionist you might always be able to see it and annoy you.

But take off the bumper and use the heat gun mostly on the inside area and you can work it out pretty good. (maybe you alread knew this.)

 

Lol so this happened while you were doing the research?

 

I'm wanting to do all my windows and rear with sliding door. Dunno if I should just return and have it professionally done. I Google'd reviews and they're not very good

 

IMO, DIY tint is very difficult and requires lots of patience. I've seen some of the poor jobs that people do and it makes me believe that professional window tint with a warranty (if you can get one) is the way to go

I guess its worth a shot if you've got the patience

Thanks for that. I was going to try push it back out but your right, better to warm it first, and better to take the bumper off to do that. THKS

 

Return it and have it professionally done, if you have air bubbles they can get annoying. Some places have a lifetime warranty on their tint so if it messes up they replace it. The place I went to does.

 

yeah I thought about that too.. but I'm being quoted like $400! And then trying to charge me extra to remove the factory tint that's like 80%

 

That's insane! Local shop my friend works for charged me $160 for all windows with the strip on the windshield and full back.

 

Yeah so I gotta do some looking around I guess. Thanks guys for talking me out of vatozone shenanigans

 

Did the rear diff breather mod.

 

how does one become such a beacon with so little post count, quality over quanity.
