    What mount/setup did you use for this? Read through a couple pages but I didn't see it come up.

    How bad were the lower control arm bushings?

    Thanks! I guess I'll look into it. @Captain Magma did you mean to post the same link three times?

    By far my favorite mod ever to my truck, I use it every single day. Just a note you cannot use the supplied M8 bolt, I used an M6 bolt from home depot.

    I love Hawaii. It's like entering the Tacoma-zone.
    You need a few bits for this:

    Ram Mount Motorcycle Handlebar Clamp Base with M8 Screws - but this is an M8 screw, so if you don't want to re-tap the grab handle mount, you'll need to pick up an M6 bolt, like these M6 x 55mm Thread Hex Socket Head Cap Screw

    Then, you need a few washers or a nut for a spacer to push the ball out a bit - I'm sure you can find those :).

    Then, you'll need whatever arm and "holder" will work for your device. I found that this set worked well for me for positioning, and then you'll need to figure out a holder: Ram Mount Double Socket Swivel Arm for 1-Inch Ball Bases

    The part where he says "and we have ugly ones with big wheels" that truck is the same year and trim level as me. Haha.

    Y'all gotta be careful I ended up stripping my screw for the grab handle in the process, I tried half ass drilling it out and never got to fixing it. If yours uses a screw head instead of a bolt head I would use an impact screwdriver.

    hahahahaha.

    I'm taking pics of as many Tacoma's as I can. I plan to post them all when it's over. The only question is whether it will be more than 1000.

    ^^^This is true for sure.

    I cover it in my write-up (Adding a Ram Mount to the #%@#$@! A-pillar.). 2001+ have a hex head on that bolt. 98-00 have a JIS (looks like philips) head.

    That's what that son of a bitch is called? I stripped it so quickly when I used a Phillips screwdriver.
