    Drivers door won’t stay shut. Any body have this problem? As far as I can see the latch operates the same as the working passenger side.

    Mine won't close all the way unless I slam it. Does yours open while your driving?

    Well it's not my best work, I don't think I have the best wire choice for joining mild steel to 304 stainless, but I leak tested it and it didn't blow any bubbles.

    Not really. My nephew said the truck looked like the cop car version for a truck. With the black cap and bumper and dark tint, I agreed. Next thing I knew a label got slapped on there. Its a work truck, so I didn't care.

    I do get a lot of people asking the same thing you did.

    The Tundra's are stupid fast even without the supercharger, so I left it.

    No like I shut the door and it just bounces open. The latch doesn’t hold it in place at all

    Sounds like your latch got put in the latched position. Have you pulled the handles to see if it springs into the open position?

    If you got not bubbles, then that's all that matters.

    We don’t have this problem because 99% of the Tacomas here are 5-Lugs or base PreRunners.

    I rarely see 4x4 trucks driving around. They’re simply unnecessary here which is why there’s such a huge 5-lug population.

    I think I've only seen 3, five luggers in my life around here.
