    That looks like I20 crossing from Georgia to South Carolina.

    Is the RCI skid plate as heavy as the TRD? Do you have to remove the wind deflector to install either one?

    Not sure if you are asking me these questions since there's no quote. Not sure what an RCI skid plate is, but the TRD Pro is about 25 to 30 lbs heavy, definitely a two man job. I removed the air dam (lip) last week because I didn't like the look, as a result it was much easier to install the Pro without it.

    Finally. They forgot to include installation instructions. I took my time, made sure everything lined up, then sat back, cracked open a cold one, and admired my hard work .

    Cool attachment.


    I'd like to know more about the home inserts you have on the tailgate.....how do they compare finish-wise with the V6 finish. I like the 3D look.

    Thinking about adding some to my own tailgate.

    Also....just out of curiosity, what is that above the V6 emblem ?

    Thanks.





    Cool.


    I see many CB attachments added to Tacos. Forgive my ignorance....but what will you use your's for ?


    Locally, I know some hunters that use them for areas where the cellphone coverage is spotty and they need to stay in touch with each other.




    I've been oddly impressed with the thing. I've never had one that is this low profile....yet it works better than others I've had on other vehicles.....that being said, they were on other vehicles. This Tacoma was only a couple weeks old before I put the AVS on.....so there really wasn't a heap of time prior.






    I guess the little hump does all the work.

    Mornin' Greg,
    These are the ones I added a year ago. Still look new. Hold up to freezing and blistering temps. Withstand my 1800 psi pressure washer. Highly recommended. And they have a chrome option just for you :thumbsup:

    Those look super.


    Thanks, Rob.


    I didn't read all through the specs yet.....but it appears they arrived already properly spaced out for an easy installation ???

    Yes, they come attached to a giant sheet of release paper. However, since they are 3D and basically fit inside the stamped letter it was easy enough to align say a top or side edge and then just let them fall into place. Just be sure to wash the truck, then prep the area with rubbing alcohol to remove any chems.

    Hey @DubfromGA oddly enough we are heading to Georgia next weekend, I wanted to get some feedback on the AVS bug deflector. Gonna be a 13 hour drive, and wanted to fit the wife’s 4runner with one prior to moving out. Basically we had one on our old Honda Pilot and still got bugs all over the place. Wanted to see how these are working for you and if your windshield is bug free way down in Georgia.

    Thanks Boss
