    A lot of states do. In Vegas almost no one has it on the front. Unless u are being stupid cops don’t pull u over for it. Now I live in Texas and everyone has it on. I have my plate in the front windshield.

    I've had one on my 15 almost for two yrs now, Its become a habit now when shutting tailgate just tucking in the cable when closing it … but than again I open/close it like 20 times a day during the work days, I use my truck for my Auto Mobile paint repair business …
    Before the shock the tailgate cap edge would hit back of my hand when opening it or just slam down glad I did put one on ...

    As important as those are, they're no good without proper recovery points. I recommend the hitch receiver shackle point for the rear, and for the front I would get something like this.

    Why just wife bought a brand new Subaru Crosstrek and the dealer installed the front plate in the bumper with an impact driver and self tapping screws. I’d have died a thousand deaths.

    Actually got the idea from @ACEkraut

    He makes a solid and inexpensive bracket for front license plate.

    Looks like Mobtown does not offer a similar product? Any idea if there are any clearance issues with that SOS product and the Toyota accessory skid plate?

    Correct, Mobtown doesn't offer a similar product. As far as clearance issues, I can say with 95% certainty that it will not interfere at all.

    I love my T4R. If its going to be more of a wheeling vehicle, get an FJ
    NV doesn't require one if there isn't a mount location.

    It was in the truck when I bought it, it’s suppose to illuminate the cup holders but it’s not very bright.150DCF6C-6B5E-4643-B2EC-4A806CBA2986.jpg 4433B806-1D32-4912-A427-AABC30A3D2EA.jpg 2FB28102-52B8-4D72-BB2B-B953E8E3B26A.jpg

    I like my fallen wildpeaks atw's. Good value, lighter than the bfg's, and a good mix for on and off road. More aggressive go with a mud terrain or duratracs.

    I replaced sway bar bushings. Clunk clunk is gone. Broke the welded nut off inside the frame on one bolt. Had to cut that off then drilled through to the top of the frame and put a 5" bolt through to replace it. Ugh
