    I believe the Gulf States Toyota’s install them once they are received. There is a Toyota part number for them which I thought is the same for Tacoma’s, but I’ve never seen a truck come out of the factory with the bed lights.

    I got my winch control box mounted and the wires ran down to the bumper.
    Next step is getting the winch and light bar into the bumper.

    So this was just me being dumb. When I tightened the straps around the axle housing it shifted the whole skid assembly causing the front wrap-around piece to touch the drive shaft. Loosened the front portion up, re-positioned it and tightened it back down, all good now. Just looks like it scratched the shaft, the skid took more damage. With how loud it was (I had to drive it about 60 miles like this) I'm surprised there wasn't more damage...

    This is after adjusting it. The upper portion where the bolt is is where it was touching the drive shaft. Took it out for a rip to test it afterward, tow/haul in sequential shift is still so fun in this truck.

    I torqued mine to 110 lbs. Checked them after 500 miles, still torqued at 110, never loosened. Make sure you use some blue loc Tite.

    It uses 2 of the bumper mount bolts, where the bumper bracket mounts to the chassis.

    Yes. Very easy. Just some bolts. I put my truck on some ramps to make it easier although they’re not necessary. Then I used a floor jack to lift the skid into place. If you can tighten a bolt, you can install this. Instructions are clear although the rear nuts were not nylon locking nuts as indicated on instructions. Instead they were normal nuts with lock washers. I’m not necessarily a fan of the spacers they use for those with a diff drop. But I’m sure they are fine.

    Oh damn. So when you have a pretty lady in the passenger seat and you tell her, “I’m really warm over here with my heated seat.” She’s gonna jump out and climb in a RAM truck with bubba.

    Nice deal! My buddy just got them for his Tacoma and they come with frame mounts now. Not sure about tundra though. I’d call bilstein and see or use their black billet clamps. Would be cleaner!
