    Yeah that's the one, good catch.

    Also, what are the thoughts on nerf bar removal? They almost seem pointless on a truck this low to the ground. I'm 6'2" and don't exactly need help climbing in this thing.

    It's personal preference. I agree with you that they don't do much good as steps. I'd remove them personally. Nice looking truck!

    The only thing my nerf bars help with is washing the roof and the middle of the windshield. They don’t help me much getting in or out of the vehicle. Mine are all black on a dark gray truck and I do like the looks better with them. My truck is not lifted.

    Nice looking truck! I dont care for the look of steelies but it's your truck and if you like it that way, rock it! I had the same chrome nerf bars on my 14. I took them off last summer. Makes the truck look like it sits a tad higher and even being 5'6", i still didnt need them to get in my stock height truck. I used the bolts to put bag in to plug up the holes from the bars.

    Also get yourself a hose clamp and a couple of washers to protect your tailgate from the thieves.

    Access original roll up tonneau is a great one. Very well designed and it seals up as good as a roll up can.

    Your Prerunner will go 99% of the places a 4x4 will.

    "Your Prerunner will go 99% of the places a 4X4 will go", what does that mean??? Doesn't it make a difference where you are & what kind of terrain you are driving on? Yep, if you only drive in town, on city streets, & never in snow or mud, you are probably right 99%, but other places & conditions, that 99% is just wouldn't be any way near correct.
