    High clearance bumpers tend to leave the 4runners washer bottle hang-dangling in the breeze. Not sure if it’s the same for Tacomas.

    I’m not sure if a metal guard over that water tank would just become a damage multiplier. Whatever it’s mounted to would take damage, instead of just breaking or cracking the tank.

    Things get goofy when somebody has a metal brake and laser cutter and wants to make a buck. All sorts of products like these get made. That said, I think the aftermarket has missed a golden opportunity to sell aluminum, custom shaped and tig welded washer fluid tanks that don’t hang off the bottom. 300-400 bucks easy! Lol

    Or a couple of zip ties to move the tank :D

    Speaking of good ideas

    Tacomas are up high, level with the top of the radiator mount.

    Looked into the cost of a single special order Diode Dynamics fog light to replace my missing member. Most of $300 and a new set is $379. Looks like I am making a chase light mount on the back... and a new set up front. Think I will wait until I find a sale though.

    memorial day is soon, i'd expect some good deals.

    also, if it was a DD light that broke, hit em up. My FIL broke his accidentally and they replaced it without any headache.

    Well I can definitely say at this point this is the best start to a summer of fishing that I have ever had. Got a handful of very nice fish tonight as well as a personal best or close to personal best

    You need to have a clean windshield when you're navigating mall parking lots.

    Move it where, exactly?

    Chonky! I'm hoping to catch a few of those this weekend!

    I forget where a lot of you guys are located, but if anyone is somewhat near to this listing I would PayPal you immediately to grab them or give you the cash in person plus a finders fee if that was preferred. The wheels on my parents tundra are pretty nasty and if this is 180 for all four and not per wheel then I would love to buy them as a gift to my parents

    If it's at all like the Tacoma (and I'm sure it is), there isn't an extra cm of wire to work with. Sure, you can cut and splice wires, but that goes with a possibility of trouble down the road. With today's electronics in vehicles, I'm paranoid about messing with wiring harnesses.
