    Just got a 2011 doublecab a week or so ago and noticed when I'm driving at highway speeds the hood seems like it's bouncing around on the left front like it's not down all the way. However it is latched tight and doesn't do this on the right side. I can grab the left corner and lift slightly but not at all on the right. This is driving me crazy.....any ideas??

    Screw the hood down. Just kidding. I had the same issue because of my bug deflector. I just adjusted the rubber bumpers under the hood a little higher so that the hood had a bit more "pre-load" when latched. Only issue with doing that is that the hood edges are a bit higher then the fenders. But better than the hood flopping around IMO
