    Hey what's your take on your Leer topper? Im looking to get one but im not sure which one i should choose because no one i know has a topper for a tacoma that i can ask about.

    It looks pretty good, and matches the lines of the truck pretty well i'd say

    Although I love my Leer for what it cost (bought used), I would recommending going with the ARE. I think it follows the body lines much better.

    So I scheduled an appointment for Tues to get my transmission drained $190 :eek: Just dropped another $160 on fluids, cabin filter, and pump for gear oil.....:facepalm: Damn this truck is an expensive bitch!

    Really now? Which model of the ARE?

    How much did ya pay for yours? If i could find one used around the area, i'd prob snatch it up. Does it leak?

    Changed oil, spark plugs, cabin filter, and removed skid plates. I thought they would be a lot more beat up than they are. They aren't going back on until Tues, so I might as well clean them up and repaint them....

    My all pro skids are not set up for a smooth bottom but the front and transfer skid look a bit rough. The mission skid is tucked up a lot higher. I am planning on swapping over to a smooth belly setup soon. Exhaust reroute and so on with it. Really want one of those BAMF diff skids too...so nice.

    No need for a diff diaper....the diff is extremely strong going fwd....going in reverse is what may create some trouble.

    Where the hell are the cutting in process pictures for the rear bumper? I saw the finished project on page 20.
