Sorry for your pain. I was anxious for 10 days while mine was in the shop until last Friday. Couldn't wait to get it back.

I went with the Cali raised.. they have a bolt and nut attachment. As a bonus you can remove the panel when you want to change out the molle pouches.. not sure if the victory is just threaded to the plastic or not. The Cali raised are pretty sturdy once they are attached.

It was on there when I bought it. Can't take credit for that one specifically.

Same as the punisher grill... I keep going back and forth on whether or not to keep it.

Ahh. I think something like that would help with the reflection of the sun during afternoon and morning showers.

Looks cool too

Christmas time! Got the delivery notification 2 hours in to a 12 hour shift. Made for a long day! Now the wait for time to get tires.

What lights are those? Nice clean look.

just a random 100ct strand I found in the attic. I never spend a lot on lights so I’m sure they’re just generic Walmart ones

I'm mounting some Cali Raised molle panels on the driver's side, so I would get one for the passenger side.

You think it’s work with bed stiffeners?

2 seems like it takes up a lot of room, especially with a Tool Box, and it looks like Bed stiffeners would work!?

There is a thread here on TW that has a link on where to purchase this sort of hood vinyl. Hope that helps.

Big Bend Ranch State Park is one place that I go to fairly frequently. It is quite remote, there is no phone access, and the trails are also not patrolled regularly. In many areas you will not see another vehicle for the entire weekend, and the weather can be quite extreme, especially in the summer months. It does require a permit to access this area, and along with your regular recovery gear, they require 2 spares and C Load tires at the minimum. Although not required, I also carry a PLB for emergencies, something I started doing after having a mtn bike crash a few years ago. Fortunately at that time I was not critical, and in an area that was accessible fairly closely by truck. My grandson was able to ride back and get the truck and haul me out. As I have done a lot of remote area backpacking, I appreciate the permitting requirement, and also leave an itinerary should the unexpected happen. When I was young we used to go out on Crown lands on the east slopes of the Rockies in Alberta, hiking and motorbike packing, and disappear for days without letting people know where we were, and often weren't even too sure where we were going until we hit the trail. It was fun to explore, and only years later did I realize how foolhardy it was, but we were lucky. My mother probably went gray much earlier than she should have because of us, lol!

Dang! That’s good to know as I’m heading to Big Bend next month. Any suggestions as where to go?

I asked if it would be covered under warranty and was told no.

Yeah, my buddy also got the same answer too and his Tacoma is a month newer than mines. He decided to change out the rotors. Not sure what brand. Just waiting to see if he has any issues

I love them but may be a little biased towards them because my old man had these on every Jeep and 4x4 truck he ever owned lol.
But seriously they are a great tire.

Thanks for the info

When I was deployed, I wore the internet out looking at Tacoma's. Couldn't wait to get home to buy mine.

Back around 2004 i worked at a garage and my old boss had a 68 lemans all rusted up but runs sitting on his lot and had me sell it on eBay and a helicopter mechanic while deployed in Afghanistan bought it and had his dad come with a trailer from Somwhwere in NJ to MD to pick it up... as cool as it was my cheap ass boss didn’t give me no commission for selling it for him. He only paid for the eBay fees
