    Thanks, appreciate it! :) where can you get 3M protection tape? Advance Auto and places like that? If so I'll pick some up today for installation.

    I did it as a precaution. I did it on my last Tacoma. Can't hurt. I don't see any rubbing.....But I don't see any not rubbing either, I think we are overthinking this. I use 3M tape on my door sills and kick areas on my door and the left side of the pedals as well.

    Does it rub anywhere? I'm ready to pull the trigger on one but don't want it if it going to rub.

    I bet they have not designed one yet. GM was that way with the twins. Took them a year to get on the shelves.
