    I always put a clear PPF film over my headlights for rock and sun protection (whether it actually accomplishes those two things I don't know but I think it does). You can get small quantities easily on Amazon (I've used 3M and VViVid films; my most recent was with VViViD Barricade). Buy extra!
    However, modern headlights and the Tacoma's in particular are a difficult shape and I doubt it's possible with one piece. My second attempt I made a template for the fronts and then really worked and stretched the film with heat over the fronts and back mostly to the black bits. It looks fine; no one will notice my slight imperfections. But note that it was my second attempt on the Tacoma, and I've done 4 other sets of headlights. It's not that easy and I'm not that great with vinyl.

    There is an Etsy seller, BogarTech, that makes smoked tint overlays for the Tacoma. Maybe they would custom make a clear one? I did my tails with their light tint (I won't tint my headlights) and it was quite a process. Not a good project for a first-timer. Good luck!

    Interesting fire extinguisher mount, but I would rotate the hose clamp screws to under the mount, to eliminate another thing to snag pant legs on.

    I like the 1st aide kit mount you did. I've been trying to find a place for mine. I was thinking in the rear on the floor in the middle on the hump. Who makes a mole panel for that spot lol?

    Just for reference - the two holes to the L of the first image with clear coat near them are your new mounting points and the second is the relocated hoist in place (unused holes to the R of the image now).

    I've go the following installed:
    1)front skid
    2)trans skid
    3)transfer skid
    4)gas tank skid
    5)Control arm skids

    The trans skid partially covers the cats, however I also installed the CR cat shields which completely cover the cats. You can kind of see them in the photo, silver finish with all the holes.

    Thanks. I tried the aluminum and it bent on the first trip. 3/4 ply, although is not the ideal material like 1/4 steel plate, works especially with a steel washer as a backing plate. Good idea on the pistol cable locks. I have a cap that is locked and a locking tailgate so should be safe.

    Put a new set of cooper rugged treks! Man I like these. No problems with the Toyos but just didn’t have the aggressive look I like52D1B71D-F04B-4043-AE1A-060A6169FBCE.jpg

    Only complaint they don’t have 265-75/16’s so had to go factory sizes. 4DBB0867-8669-440C-8294-115CBFE90AF3.jpg53862545-CB19-483C-ABA1-3958A9BDF511.jpg
