    Do a little searching and you will find a few guys that have modded the rack to fit a Access Cab. Just can't store the rails because of the shorter length.

    Installed my new Catch Can, and started replacing my lower grill with mesh.

    Tomorrow I plan to paint my lower bumper black.

    Also hit 115 mph in my Tacoma :D

    Taught a 19 year old kid how to drive stick. I've never sat in the passenger seat of my Tacoma before. I wanted to cry the whole time & still do. He was really hyper and clearly didn't understand the principles of a clutch or two spinning disks being connected. Probably took off 10,000 miles from the life. About 100 stalls & a 3,000rpm drop. :(

    That's the last time I teach someone who isn't a car fanatic. I didn't stall out learning until 2 weeks in. But then again I've played driving simulations (with the 3 pedals) all my life in addition to driving various motorcycles.

    Edit:
    sounds like the throw out bearing makes noise now too. It's like a squeak crunch. I'm hoping it will go away. 120k miles isn't that much for a truck clutch.

    I did mine with plasit dip in February and it has held up. What prep did you do and what kind of bedliner did you use?

    I just cleaned the surface with some simple green and then I used rust-oleum.
