    Some bugger hit the corner of my back bumper!:annoyed:
    This caused the top plastic cover to pop off!
    It looks like I have to remove the large center one to remove the smaller side cover..
    Any tips on how this comes off?
    I know how the step/tow hitch one comes off.

    I used an old trim tool to slide under and popped it off after removing the three little plastic screw things behind the plate.

    in that case, you need to park a mile away from everybody like i do. Its cheap insurance against coming back out to surprise damage on your truck. I always strategically park. At work, its crowded, but i will always park in between two coworkers that i know will be there all day. And even if im semi-close to them, they can not hit me with their door due to my sliders.

    i know its not a ferrari. But i had to work hard for this truck and it was a lot of money for me. I want to keep it nice, and walking far is good for me anyways. My coworker has a tacoma as well, and doesn't care where she parks. A part of her front bumper is smashed in, theres a large gouge on the left side of her truck which is now rusting, and theres a dent near her trd sticker. So careless parking does show.
