OK4WD in NJ installed my Alu-Cab Contour Canopy (I didn’t want to tackle the installation in the Vermont winter!). They did a fantastic job. Two days of pouring rain here this week - not a drop of water inside. It’s built SOLID.

Just installed skid plates and sliders on my 2026 OR. A mix of Cali-Raised, Miller Cat, RCI and Westcott. ALL are beautifully done and had perfect fitment. TIG welding on the Westcott sliders is SUPERB- but for some reason my wife just didn’t ‘get it’ and couldn’t comprehend my enthusiasm……...

RCI needs to up their packaging game. As I wrote in this forum a month or two back, my rear differential skid plate from them arrived with ZERO packaging aside from a plastic bag it was placed in. The plate had punched through the box in two locations. Fortunately it wasn’t damaged. I sent RCI...

Fella doing the PPF on my new ‘26 OF suggested these hood add-ons and ‘TRD’ color change. I think it came out looking great on the bronze oxide…

Thanks for the pics. Kuat is slick. BTW -what light bar is on your Prinsu? Prinsu checks pretty much all my boxes…….

Debating which roof rack to get for a 2026 OR . If anyone can help with some questions I would appreciate it. 1. Anyone have experience with the new Küat/Diode Dynamics rack? Weight capacity is a bit light , but looks functional. 2. Anyone significant problems with paint erosion where the wind...

I often park my vehicles in an open, mowed field. Mice have always gotten into their cabin and engine air filters. With my Tundra I finally blocked the opening with stainless steel screening…… that has been successful so far……

Minus 16 this morning in Vermont and mine was pouring out hot air before I got 2 miles from the house.

Update: Westcott informs me all of the bolts on the bottom side need rivnuts. Some hokes need to be drilled out to 11/16”. Rivnut mandrel needed is M12

Very few of the sliders out there utilize attachments points under the frame. Those that do must be using rivnuts or something equivalent if the holes aren’t threaded. The main stress from lifting would be borne by the side bolts and the tensile strength of the 1/4 steel I would think (though...

The Westcott installation video on these from a year ago only mentions the forward square hole needs to be drilles to 11/16 and a rivnut placed. Only mention of the other bolt holes underneath is a statement to initially hand tighten the bolts - implying those holes are threaded. Did the...

Thanks very much for taking the time to measure this. Quite a taper. Not sure whether it would be worth messing with anything beyond the cross bars. I'm having the canopy installed the first week of March by OK4WD (NJ); I too am getting the 1450mm bars. Going back and forth between the...

Thanks! It would be really useful to know if the roof tracks are parallel to each other : measured center to center (= outer edge of one to inner edge of other track - easier to measure) at the front and back. One source I saw said this distance is “tapered”. If its equal, easy to cut and...

Received a rear differential skid plate today from RCI. FORTUNATELY it came through shipping unscathed, despite the packaging. Multiple holes in the box where the plate had come through, ZERO PACKAGING/PADDING material in the box! Come on RCI! You have a good rep out there; please up your game...

Hi Guys/Gals, Took delivery of a ‘26 Taco TRD OR; having an Alu-Cab Contour Canopy installed on it in a month. I am interested in putting either a Sherpa or Prinsu topper rack on it. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks

Addendum: Sherpa tells me they do not intend to make a mounting bracket for the new Diode Dynamics Stage Series with the two bolt mounting points. More business for Baja I guess ……

I am interested in getting the DD SS40 Dual-Color LED bar and mounting it to either a Prinsu Pro or a Sherpa Rainier rack. The NEW Diode Dynamics Stage Series bars use TWO mounting bolts, vertically oriented to each other. Sherpa states its’ DD Stage Series mounts are NOT compatible with this...

The important thing is to keep in mind the differences. PPF protects against chips and dings as mentioned; ceramic makes it way easier to wash stuff off - it’s protective in the sense that you avoid micro-scratching from having to scrub hard ( think sap, bugs). I’m taking delivery next week of...

Very cool looking!!

I’m in the process of doing a build on a 2026 Tacoma TRD Off Road. Two companies I’d like to give a thumbs up to for customer service/support: 1. @Cali Raised LED: I stopped by their Ft. Worth facility over the holidays when I was in the DFWn metroplex. Co-founder of the company gave me a...
