MARYLAND TACOMAS

Currently, my skid plate is frozen to my skid plate. Damn snow piles...

 

the easy on easy off feature is what makes them so great. I installed a locking tailgate, and with the tonno, i can put all my crap in the bed, keeping it locked up and out of sight.

 

I did the same thing

 

Tacomas should've come with a locking tailgate from the factory though.

 

X3

 

Yeah, its so easy to take them off without an after factory mod. makes all the sense in the world to have the tailgate locks factory installed, which is why it will never happen.

 

Had anyone installed the pop n lock that is compatible with the backup camera? I want to do it but I'm afraid I'll do something wrong and not be able to use the camera haha

 

I have, the camera assembly slides out if the old and right into the new. You'll be more worried about getting the handle and rods lined up. It takes more time to take all the bolts off and the tailgate plastic than it does to swap the handles.

 

Not putting a hose clamp on my paint. I'll put something in between the pant and the clamp.

 

It wasn't hard at all I did the same thing plus my pop lock handle is color matched ftmfw

 

I regret not going colormatched

 

So buy the color matched and sell the old one. Think of it as a $20 mistake. In the scheme of things that is not a very expensive mistake.

 

I like your way of thinking!

 

I just ordered a set of cheap 2x2 Cree led pods off Amazon for my back bumper I really wanted to go with Rigids but for reverse lights I couldn't bring myself to spends the cash for em.

 

I'm not really concerned about brightness just wanted something to fill the holes in the bumper more or less.

 

Haha funny I need something more fire hydrant rated

 

I do care about them, that is why the gets buffed when scratched. Plus2-3 waxes a year. I'll have a show worthy rig that i'm not afraid to use if i ever build what i want.

 

Why i haven't done it. For now i just have the cap that keep it locked.

 

Someday.

 

I hear you. They need to unfuk their prices.
