    Faded "4x4" on the passenger flap has bothered me. Time to freshen the taco up a bit :) new OEM. Parts recently got harder to source online. Interesting. 20240410_170435.jpg 20240507_191514.jpg

    It does cover the button and the hinges on the other side, but no problems with obstruction. Its so comfortable on my elbow - I'd highly recommend it

    Little this, Little that.
    The R4T LCA skid is a straight bolt on for 2nd gen Taco's? their website doesn't list that it'll fit. I assumed it would.

    Can anyone confirm if they've ever bought an oem 2nd Gen bumper without the 2 license plate holes pre drilled? I moved up to Oregon and these toyota people are smoking crack I swear. I don't want the holes in my bumper and it could use a fix. Is it just a state dependent thing if ordering from factory? I feel like in AZ it wouldn't come with holes...

    Anyway. I got my fresh flaps on today :) 20240508_120528.jpg 20240508_121020.jpg

    From the factory there should be 2 dimples in the plastic where you drill or use self tapping screws. Not in the metal.

    Holes are drilled by the dealer. As stated every bumper has 2 dimples where the dealer is supposed to install a plate or bracket.

    Super easy, just messy to be honest. Plan on rebuilding my old OEM sets with extended boots and hopefully someone would be interested here. :)

    nice truck.

    when mine faded i took mineral spirits to mine and just got rid of the white altogether :)

    just thought i'd mention that for people who want the option of the delete. i did it when i removed all my badging. it was looking way too busy, the non-pro models have like 6 badge/texts altogether on the back along with ugly chrome bumpers.. kind of overboard. my truck looks like yours now minus the 'pro' and the flaps.

    Brand new oem bumpers do not come pre-drilled. Dealers and body shops do that, but you can ask them not to.
