    Everything lined up almost perfectly, only thing I had a slight issue was putting the pins in the top of the grill to hold it in place, due to slight misalignment but they eventually went in.

    I got the vibe after my ~3” lift (King extended travel CO, All Pro expo leaf pack and king rear shocks). Tried the 3° shim from Toytec. I still have my take off vibe. Front steel bumper didn’t change that. Perhaps it’s time to actually measure the drive line angles? Hassle.

    Mine had no vibe (2.5* shim & CB drop) with AAL but started when I swapped to the 96R. Hoping rear bumper weight smooths it out but I’ll throw the 4* if it still happens. Good luck and let us know.

    The black tabs look like artificial rain gutters for Yakamia towers. 1A I think.

    Finally was able to get the garage cleaned out and get some space to work. Installed the TRD Cat-back exhaust I picked up from the TRD sale back in April. Had a bit of trouble with the gasket leaking exhaust, but nothing a quick trip to the store couldn't fix. Looks darned good and I appreciate the deeper sound. Also fancied up the shift knob.

    got my taco a few months ago fast forward to first hot day when I am and the Ac doesn’t work.

    Not uncommon to see car here with extremely low charges in the system with our temp swings. Charged the system (with proper tools and procedure) was working good. 3 weeks later another scorcher and I throw the Ac on, no cold air.

    Gotcha... low side line leaking. Better then the evaporator.
