After having found this to be very useful, thought I'd post in case anyone else would benefit as well---- quick access/easy reach for knife, flashlight, tape measure, pencil, note pads:
Had time to get the side steps on today and thought I'd share in case anyone is interested. Installation is super easy---- six 12mm bolts each side torqued down to 25.1 ft-lbs. The options out there for XCs are very limited on just about everything, so I went the OEM route for these. Overall...
Are these three punch marks at the rear end of both bed sides there to serve as drill guides to install something (and if so, what)?
If I'm the only one who doesn't know, sorry for the dumb question. Thanks for any help.
After having patiently waited (as many here have), I am very happy to now have my first Tacoma---- feel fortunate that at least Toyota still offers the option for the 2-dr. cab / 6-ft. bed configuration. Also, thanks very much to everyone for all the information provided here---- your posts...
