No-name aftermarket grille, led fender extensions. Black Horse bambi-basher. Various offroad lights.
    Depending on your area of SoCal, if you're around the San Diego area there's the SoCal Shenanigans thread. They seem to range far and wide though, but I think no ones doin' much in this heat. There is a San Gorgonio meet coming up, campground is booked up, but it's a nice sized toyota meetup and I think all are welcome. You might hit up @Sunnier and/or @eccracer104, they seem to post alot in the threads involving SoCal, and probably know what's happening better than I.

    Thanks! I will let you know how it goes. I don't have the correct tool to torque down 38lbs like everyone is saying. Appreciate the warm welcome everyone!!!

    I bought a run-of-the-mill torque wrench at Walmart when I got my first Toyota 4 years ago. It was $40. I use it all the time when doing routine maintenance on my truck. Great investment, just saying!

    Hey, I had the same issue and its annoying as hell. In my case, it wasn't the skid plate. You need to retorque all the bolts. UCA and especially LCA. Tighten it all the way!!!!

    Weird update! I drove from LA to San Diego over Labor Day weekend.. when I came back I washed the truck and the "noise" is now very minimal (noticed before the wash). Still going to mess with the skid plate soon.

    Noise update! With the help of @Honz and @PMR the issue is solved.. for now! Went to Ace Hardware and got 1/8" thick rubber material. Cut them into U-shapes to slip around back two skid plate bolts between skid plate and cross member. Only drove it around the block and did not hear the issue like I normally did. We'll see what happens going to and from the gym. For those that need help with same issue, threads are below! Feeling good, yeehaw! :broccoli:

    Sure beats the suspension work you were quoted. My truck makes the same noise, still haven't fixed it.
