    Same thing happened to my front bump. I just drilled another hole about 1/4 inch behind the original. Works fine, hits the same spot as the other bump too

    I was hesitant about it, but taking off the lca just to drill out a broken bolt didn't seem worth it to me

    More like "water resistant" because I found that even using large-gap weather striping, the seal between the metal frame and door is still kind of loose. If nothing else, it should help minimize rattling.

    I followed the process in this YT video, but used a different brand weather striping that was available on Amazon. It's in addition to (not replacing) the stock weather striping.

    They are the Hooke Offroad ones. I installed their center console lockbox a few months ago, and good or bad, all 3 lockboxes use the same key... It's convenient having only 1 key on the keychain, but a little unsettling that all their products use the exact same lock/key combo. A lock just keeps honest people honest any way.

    true, but it’s also a deterrent from thefts of opportunity. That makes up the majority of petty crime here… mainly just people grabbing stuff and going.

    I'm getting my mechanic to put on some 3rd gen struts and do an alignment on Friday, plus a 97 point inspection.

    Weathertech floor liners moded to hold OEM floor mats, weathertech vent visors, Toyota bed mat, LEER 100XL cap, hood gasket mod to stop whistling.
    I just did this and had bad results. If anyone has a locking cap that works, please let me know.

    I bought a Duralast locking gas cap at AutoZone for $17, the next time I drove my truck I had an evap code. I reset it and put the stock cap back on and I'm good to go. I'd really like to put a locking cap on with gas being over $5/gallon, but I've been told that they were "hit or miss" as far as working on the Tacoma.

    Had dual exhaust installed. I used a flowmaster fx. Todays my birthday so I figured I’d spend some money on the truck.

    Noticed the driver's outer cv boot was split and leaking. Brake part cleaner to clean, new moly pumped in, cleaned again, black PERMATEX ultra and spring clips overnight, then six windings of Scotch HD 88 Electrical tape. Seems to be holding.
