    Hi all, just curious if anyone else has noticed the hood of their 3rd gen sitting lower than the quarter panel edge? I hope I've explained that right...the edge of the panel is sitting 1/8"+ higher than the hood and it's driving me crazy. I've attached a pic as well.

    You can adjust the hood by rotating the round rubber bumpers underneath

    Adjust it with those rubber stops under your hood, just turn them to you get it close.

    Yes, normal characteristic of the truck. My grill sits crooked, bed is crooked, taco lean, headlights dim, tonneau cover doesn't latch properly, rear bumper caps uneven, dash rattles, running boards uneven, and spare tire chain dangling makes noise on bumpy roads.... it's all normal. I bet you will look for all this now on yours. LOL.
    Most of it is adjustable though.

    Enjoy the 3rd gen Tacoma!
