    i was lazy and did not install the side vent... but i did scoop a ton of wet mud from inside there. i may install later, but I didn't install because I couldn't find my 90deg attachment, and i was going to use rivnuts for a cleaner look but i do like the cover i may honestly remove the cover. and really clean the metal up and lay down a bead of silicone or gasket maker and really keep the intake closed up from debris.

    I really like the kit. Wasn’t too difficult to put on aside from being on the ground to install it. I think the rear is a tad tall compared to the front but overall I like it a lot.

    i put a stick on rain gutter on my rear slider to channel rainwater away from the glass.
    not sure if i can cleanly/straight-angled apply it above the shell flip-down slider, so we'll see how well the truck slider part works first.

    Not yet but I did go back in and rewire said bulb and it seemed to fix the issue. Still waiting to hear back from TacomaBeast if this is a normal issue or not.

    IMG_1395.jpg IMG_1396.jpg Week following Christmas: finally got my truck into a local shop for an application of NHOU. Was glad to hear the tech was impressed with how clean the frame, crossmember and fender supports are in especially for a 2009. A week later and she’s still dripping a bit but I think the Back to Black coating looks great. Reattached the spare today.

    Agreed, love the look and protection. Just like fluid film, you can buy touchup rattle cans of black NHOU. Got a pair as a Christmas ask. Keeps you solid in between seasonal sprays.

    I’ve seen nhou in gallon and five gallon buckets but not the rattle cans. Was considering picking up an air gun from harbor freight and doing it myself next year. I’ll have to check out the nhou site for those cans though - thanks!

    edit: found them on the nhou website - two cans for $31.98.
    Ordered.

    I picked up the same lights (mine are amber tho) and harness on Black Friday as well. Still haven’t found time to put them on, easy install? I also need to buy a different switch that matches my stock switches.

    I have them as well, the amber sports as ditch lights. This switch fits fine. As far as the install, I don't have that harness, I created my own off my aux power block, but same thing basically.
