Damn, I need to move to the PNW with all the OEM stuff yall listing. Too poor to get the full pkg offer by Toyota, and told myself Iād slowly update pieces here and there as they come up since Iām sure ppl would upgrade their trucks. Been debating between 5100s or OEM OR shocks. These are a steal!
Iāve noticed thereās a lot of little rattles in these 4G tacos, guessing due to all the plastics. I had the sunglasses one, thereās the rear seatbelt latches and plastic cases I stored behind the seats (rearranged to keep anything that might rattle under the seats since itās lined), the safety...
Ok yeah. Mine are like that on both sides also. Good to know it wasnāt a āme issueā only. I was a little concerned at first but figured Iām not gonna be hanging the truck by those hooks so itās probably ok. š
Thatās awesome dude. Did you have this when u installed the RCI piece with the tow hooks where it didnāt sit flush, even when you cranked down on it? (Notice the slight wave in the crossmember)
Nah, I did not. Same boat, realistically, I donāt think Iād need it. If it becomes a serious trail rig then Iād prob would, but thatās not in the budget. I got the OEM red hoops instead of the trans-skid lol.
Thanks. Yeah it didnāt really bother me all that much, just wondered if it was ok to be kinda crooked pressing against the bend on the crossmember but I guess itās fine as long as itās tightened down against it. Iāll check when I do oil changes to make sure it hasnāt loosened up or anything.
Thatās wasnāt a bad idea either. I probably could have saved some more cash and tried to find another loop from someone and painted or have it powder coated redā¦.ah well
Did not realize some other plates could mount without the cross member, but I really liked the āTOYOTAā so I got the LC plate...
I installed the Land Crusier āTOYOTAā skid plate in my SR5 this afternoon (finally) and I saw this part in the box but could not figure out if I need it on the Tacoma. Anyone know what/where/how this piece goes on our trucks if running the LC skid?
(I had to purchase the RCI offroad cross member...
Finally found some time this afternoon to install my first upgrades. OEM front recovery points, āTOYOTAā skid plate with RCI cross member, Caliraised tailgate anti-theft plate.
I had a question for those of you that have a non-OR/TH/PRO vehicle and use a cross member. I bought the RCI Off-road...
I donāt know if youād really call it a āmodā but upgrading the cardboard they call a skid plate to a factory skid hopefully wouldnāt void any warranty? Iāve been needing to swap mine out for the LC āTOYOTAā one.
