    Hey yall! My name is Wes and I’m new to Tacomaworld. Loving my 2017 Tacoma. I recently installed a bull bar and side steps, and I didn’t use a torque wrench. Is this ok? Should I redo it?

    Side note - it was the Tyger Bull Bar and side steps from Amazon. I don’t think they’re bad at all for the price. Thanks y’all!

    Hard top camper...many more to add+
    It is always better to torque to specs..there is a good reason... and always a month later and a few more times re-tighten...to torque specs...
    Many times bolts will get loosen...

    You will be surprised how many people who replace there tires and they fall off ...
    Poor lady on a free way..I saw the front wheel come off rolling by me...later on the news said she just left a tire shop...they fail to tighten the nuts...lol

    just make sure you tighten your “nuts”
    Aloha,
