    May be a lame question .. but I removed all 4 of my center caps (stock 16" wheels, TRD Off Road package) to do some detailing. They popped off pretty easily. Now .. will they just pop right back in? Or do I have to remove the wheels?

    I normally spend some pent up anger installing the center caps... its a relaxing experience.

    LOL thanks guys. Took them off to paint the recessed centers around the Toyota logo. My truck is magnetic grey, so I'm using magnetic grey touchup paint to do it. Makes for a really nice contrast with the silver wheels. Will get a pic up once I get them done.
