One week to go in the sale, now through Fri 11/29!

 

Got mine on order, thanks!

 

Thank you, it's on its way, made it into today's mail

 

@SpikerEng - Was about to place an order and noticed in Tim's install video it bolts in the same location (I believe) as Paranoid Fabrication's Bussmann RTMR panel . Any workarounds?



Sorry for gaffing your image @paranoid56

 

Thanks for the question. Just to clarify, is this a 1st Gen Taco or 3rd Gen 4runner?

 

Sorry, 1st Gen Tacoma (2002) and points for a FAST reply, whoa!

 

Not the best angle but here is the panel installed in my tacoma... as you can see, its using that one spot which I think is where your hood strut mount is attached. I guess I could still use it but it would make removal of the RTMR a little difficult.

 

Gotcha. You should be fine - on the 1st Gen Tacos, the fender bracket attaches pretty high up, in the area circled in yellow. See if you think that would work with your install:



If you watched Timmy's 4Runner video, then yes, there the mount is lower, roughly where that black bolt is. But not on the Tacos.

 

Sounds good. Thanks for clarifying. I was going off his vid - I must've missed the specific 1st gen taco install instructions. Thanks again

EDIT:

I see it now...

 

Yup, there you go!

 

Sale extended through Cyber Monday, 12/2!

 

Received and installed today, these things are awesome!



Only thing I had to move was the switch for my air compressor. Easy install and they look and function great! Gained 6 inches of additional hood opening.

 

Order in... Look forward to receiving!

Thanks for the additional info and pic on your install. Was going to pull the trigger on Redline but this made the difference

 

You wont be disappointed!

 

Already surprised... Placed the order at 2047 and received an email @ 2110 notifying me shipping details had been updated (on the paypal side) with tracking info. Honestly, quickest update on a purchase I've received in a long long time. Nice job @SpikerEng

 

Looks great Todd! That extra height really comes in handy when you 're tinkering under the hood and could use the extra lighting and access .

 

Thanks Mike! Making the customer happy is always my number one goal

 

Last day of the sale!

 

Received today (ordered 11/29 @ 9pm, Received 12/2!)! Thanks Leon for sending this out so quick! Will install tomorrow if time permits! Will update with feedback then.
