I’m not pounding my fist on the table for my money back but I’m not 100% happy with it either I’m happier with scratches actually. Tacoma I saw with armor from goat looked a lot cooler!

Wow. Pretty bad. Is that magnetic?
Can it not be trimmed a bit with some shears?

Fished the wires to rear hatch lighting. Got a home made strip that will offer red or white light. Still have to actually wire it and solder the wires, but did the hard part of fishing thru the headliner.
Also replaced the reverse light that was cracked by the old man on a trail ride. In the process of popping it off, I broke a piece on the edge of be the brake light..

I’m sure it can be yes and all is not lost. I’ll still use ‘em.

Heat gun it?
Completed my drawer install. Went well, told my self to take my time and not get frustrated or impatient. Easier said than done, but it went smooth. **Warning** everything on the drawers is sharp ( I have the bandaids and tetanus shots prove it...) Seriously, be careful moving to quickly on screwing or unscrewing the bolts will bite you. Also, thanks to JLH for letting me know I need to get some Hex Socket Set, that saved e a ton of time. Only major issue is one of the screws attached to the mounting plate was too tight or cross threaded, I had to drill out. Other than that it was a great project, and was a real sense of accomplishment when everything lined up and "worked." Not too mention they are going to work out great for my need in the future. Have a good rest of the weekend.

Nothing like a great set of drawers! Nicely done.
The UHF GME is for an Australian radio system .
This is a beefy looking GMRS antenna for the bumper.

CLOSEOUT - OLDER VERSION / DEMO and USED UNITS These first-design antennas are highly performant, but have a lighter moment base spring, best deployed for desert terrain on a roof rack v. on a bullbar or nearer the vehicle body. A longer, 6.6dBi-gain rugged antenna tuned specifically for the...

Nothing too drastic yet. I just got my first LC out of New Orleans a couple months ago, and had it shipped to Michigan. Until I'm able to put a lift on it next Spring, I've prioritized turning it into a great ski rig. Update 1 was a new set of Yokohama Geolandar A/Ts. Update 2 was a new ski box. Update 3 was a trip to a local place to have an oil-based rustproofing applied to the undercarriage, plus inside the doors, fenders, tailgate, etc.. It has a long way to go, but really happy with where it's at for the ski season!

Built a DIY LiFePO4 battery and installed it under the ARB drawer wing.
Ended up with >200Ah of usable capacity in a small space.

I have been considering a second battery for aux loads since I bought the truck about a year ago. I went through a few iterations before ending up where I am now. Goals were to power aux loads like the fridge, lighting, radio gear, charge devices, etc for several days while camping, jump start...

Just purchased my first 200 a couple of weeks ago and am loving it! Just finished my first mod. Added my Redarc towpro controller. Install went smooth. We have a 17ft Casita rv trailer that we will tow with the 200. Good times!
Heat gun is definitely a great idea. I don’t know what thread thread to post this in but it was pretty awesome. Don’t know where to post a video but going through that water was great. Oh yeah here’s a way I can tie it in definitely getting a snorkel.
Front camera is basically useless now. Going to give one last shot by putting in some rice to see if I can dry it out and then repair the crack.
Found some options from UAEon eBay for ~$500. We’ll see if this works first
Got in my ditch lights for mounting but need recommendations on hood mounts for 2018 model. Any thoughts?

I've got one if you're interested from my recent deer incident. Body shop thought they'd quote one for insurance claim when the original was completely untouched and undamaged. Probably thought they could pad their margins and not actually replace it. I made sure to ask for the original back. Make me an offer in PM if you'd like. I can get a picture of the lens if it helps.

I haven't tried this, but it seems you can make an aftermarket 12v function in place of the factory 6v for a few bucks.
Went back to the old bronze 2016+ wheels. Heritage wheels are for sale in the classifieds. Also installed a 38” split light bar I had laying around and some TRD pro style Grill amber lights. I later lowered the front license plate to clear the light bar. I am terrible at taking pictures of the actual final product
Would like a pic of your lowered license plate..
