Wonder how they'd do with a trailer. Probably more aesthetically pleasing than the clip-on or stick-on options.
Is the suma logo just a vinyl decal ? Or is it embedded into the glass ?
I have the newer DrewTech Mongoose-Plus Toyota 3.
I've heard of people using the generic ones, but technically you're doing so at your own risk, as they're not Toyota approved. On the flipside, I haven't heard of people bricking their Toyotas with the generic adapters, albeit older generations.
I have them and to be honest, they don't do too much. Better than running nothing though, especially if you're running a more aggressive offset. But I like their low profile look.
I'll probably end up getting a larger set at some point.
Agreed. I was going to say I don't really understand the logic of why they cast this piece but obviously the answer is cost. Machining parts like this would obviously be much more expensive and time-consuming.
Only time will tell if these failures are truly commonplace - as with any new...
The slowboat from China strategy really failed for NYTOP.
After they had their design down, if they literally just had them made in NA for probably 10-20% over the cost of offshoring, factoring in ocean freight, they would have sold a bunch even at their original, absurdly high price because...
For those looking at mounting a skid plate, but missing the additional crossmember, the RCI x-member seems to suit the job just fine. A significantly cheaper alternative than the NYTOP piece.
Overall, I think the construction is fine, especially given the value. One interesting note is they...
I don't believe Yakima has released a fixpoint system for the 4G yet. I too, am anxiously waiting for these - I spoke to my local dealer (Rack Attack) and they were saying it'll probably be a few months at a minimum before Yakima releases something for our trucks that mounts to the pre-drilled...
@Tacomaniac are you running a constant load (ie campershell) or just occasionally towing a load?
Either way, any significant deterioration in ride quality?
I'm extra tempted to scoop these up now.... their blog even has a picture of them towing the same trailer I have, LOL...
Yeah, saw these as well - the OE black garnish itself is only about $25 bucks but currently backordered. I may end up just going that route once there's stock of the part.
Nice man! Interesting that you didn't have issues with your sensors and your wrap. I was told by my PPF guy that it can cause issues with certain sensors. But glad it worked out for you!
I also recently tried to DIY wrap my tailgate handle and overall, turned out OK, but struggled with getting...
That's awesome. I'm really considering picking up the Alu-cab canopy (just the topper version) - did you get yours through OK4WD? Seems like they're already taking preorders for an estimated January delivery.
Interesting - didn't think about that possibility, would make a lot of sense. I have a friend that runs a tire shop, I just picked up the universal autel sensors and had him clone my OE ones.
Correct, all the grills are interchangeable. Toyota does have an OE lightbar that connects into the highbeam circuit, but I'm not sure it's even available. I made my own brackets for Heretic bar as well as the front-facing camera. Yes to the harness, had to get a new one. I have a couple other...
