Mobtown Offroad Bolt On Recovery Bar for 2005-2015 Tacoma

Oh, sorry man. Been there... I wouldn't have said anything. I thought you had a Taco.

Hey, at least it's not a mini-van. I rocked a couple of those back in the day

 

Haha, it's cool. Trust me, it was a sad day when the Taco was gone. Good news is a local guy bought it and my business partner saw it still rocking the sliders and recovery bar looking as good as ever.

 

Is there an install guide?

 

Oh yeah!

 

Thank you sir!

 

You're welcome.

 

Thanks for putting in the extra hours to get these in the post.

 

Not a problem man. I was as frustrated as you I'm sure. I hate when ship does are delayed, especially when it was out of my control. I voiced my frustration with our powder coater and he turned them around next day which was good.

 

Sucks that it is raining so hard today.

 

I just received it today!!! Thank you! I don't know if I'll have time this weekend to install it but I sure as hell will try.

 

Woohoo! Sorry for the delay. Fedex really took forever on this one.

 

Yep, received mine also. Have 16th anniversary tomorrow so will have to delay install. Once again thanks for the work buddy.

 

No problem guys. Post up some pics once installed.

 

Your tailgate skin is on my wish list. Nice looking product!

 

She's finally done! Thanks @Mobtown Offroad for the help with the "bump on the road."

Step 1: Remove Grill








Step 2: Remove filler, but left the wires connected and filler hanging during receiver installation.







Step 3: Remove bumper

I didn't take any pictures but one... It was easy. A couple of pop off screws and regular screws.




Step 4: I removed the Aluminum Crash Bar.




Now Installation of the front receiver.

I came across a couple of problems; just in case anyone has the same issue...

First...
One of the holes didn't align correctly. How did I solve this? Just make the hole bigger.


I used this to make the hole on the bar bigger.

Problem No. 2. This was mainly a Toyota issue. The bar that was removed along with the bolt gave me the most problem to reinstall it. For some darn reason the bolt kept going slanted. How did I fix the issue??? Leave the problem out. Literally, I didn't reinstall it.



I replaced the small bar and original bolt with a 5/8 Bolt, washer, locking washer, fender washer, and a locking nut on both sides. Problem solved!



Now that the headache is done... I moved forward with the install.

Finished Installing the front receiver, then the crash bar was mounted, then I trimmed the plastic on the front bumper... Installed the front bumper and grill. Complete.

 

A+ to Mobtown Offroad. Got the recovery bar today. This thing is one very stout piece of metal. Very easy to install, I took my time and had to slot 1 hole on the bar and 2 on my Toyota "skid plate". I would recommend it to anyone.

 

Update. If you ordered a recovery bar and haven't received it yet, you will shortly! Had 4 ordered after the Black Friday sale. They were taken to powder coat today, should ship in approx 1 week.

 

What's the current lead time on these? I'm thinking of picking one up before I head to Moab in April.

 

4 weeks

 

Still tons of material in stock, waiting to be welded. Place your order today to get them in 4 weeks or less.
