    two tone seat covers, Husky liners, 20% tint front windows, bilstein 5100's front, 18x9 XD monsters w/ 275/65 Wrangler Duratracs, sockmonkey decals, in channel visors, black bull bar w/ hella 500's. Custom head ache rack, black tail lights, painted grill, mesh grillcraft w/ "TOYOTA". BHLM to come....
    So my radiator support is cracked in several places and tack welds are broken causing the hood to bounce like it isn't completely shut. The body shop guy said this is very common in Toyotas, he's replaced several brackets and sometimes hoods when they come unlatched while driving.
    have you guys heard of/experienced this? I searched but haven't seen a thread on here
    I was hoping there would be a TSB if it was that common

    Yeah common on tacomas and tundras that are driven on ruff roads, like ranch trucks

    Reserected from the dead.
    Must be a second gen thing. I'm in the process of redoing a first gen and those spot welds were a mofo to drill out.
