Today the color matched TRIM on my grill fell off.. on the freeway. Literally barely saved it before it flew away. It broke.

Insane. Toyota. Sigh

 

Wow, been away for 13,401 posts.

 

Tacoma dealer here quoted me $180 for plugs alone. Lolololol yeah okay...

 

Started welding up my bed bars. Only did the one that will be the middle one for now, probably won't get to the rest till the summer.

 

Well what were you doing for the last 18 hours?

 

So....a couple days!

 

I'm a little behind, dont know if this has been answered yet... but I just slapped some gorilla tape over the holes. so far so good.

 

I just had my Cooper S/T Maxx 255/80/17's put on some Black Iron brand aluminum rims. The guy at the shop said they were no problem at all to balance.

Now I need to get some lug nuts that work with the rims, since I bought the rims used and they did not come with any lugs.

I think these will do what I need, there is not many threads showing so these are supposed to work.

 

Installed some TRD pro style headlights I found on CL. They are the china knock-off variety, so praying they hold up. Fit and finish weren't perfect, but I was able to get them in and looking good with a little work. I installed some new bulbs while I was at it.

 

I bet they will hold-up better than my custom retrofits.

 

Jail time over the weekend sucks

 

Damn dude! That sucks. I've pretty much decided to stay OEM on mine for the time being. At least until some more people try out those $250 ones off Ebay.

Got my Fuel Vapors installed Friday, so I was finally able to drive my new truck. Swapped out the radio knobs with some Hondo Octopus ones. Got my LED interior kit and new A/C knobs coming in today.

No pics yet, been rainy as hell down here. Soon though...

 

Little help. Bad memory. Want to do a fender cut. Someone here linked a product to finish the edge with trim. No taping or gluing necessary. Had a bead in it that held the trim to fender. Anyone remember what that was? Thought I had saved the link, but no joy.

 

I would only always reccomend doing retrofits with the OEM set. Most vendors cut corners and use the knock offs.

 

Google "Automotive Door edge trim guard"

 

Thanks, Tom. I know how to use google. And used it before asking. And searched this site. I was looking for a specific type recommended here. Haven't found it, yet.

 

I've seen guys use this

I don't know if this is the exact thing you are talking about, but it should work: http://amzn.to/2sr1zhN

 

Thanks, CP. That looks like the product I was thinking about. You the Man.
