    Hey all,

    Just wanted to pass on some information.

    I recently ordered some Trail Gear rock sliders for my 2016 Tacoma.

    http://www.trail-gear.ca/rock-slider-kit-tacoma-78-2008-2014-tacoma-x-cab-double-cab/

    Although they are noted to fit a 2016 model (description says 2008-2016), it seems like the front most bracket does not fit properly. According to the shop I have my truck at, the front bracket is too far forward by about half an inch. The solution is that they are cutting it off and re-locating it further back so it mounts properly to the frame. This ups the labor cost as you would imagine.


    This isn't a huge deal all things considered, but just fair warning that these aren't strictly bolt on/weld on out of the box.
