    Yes I use to have weather tech but my window motor had to work hard to close, this one is glued to the outside rubber and not on the painted door panels. They match my front hood deflectors

    @PaulROahu thanks. I had weathertechs on my taco before and felt the same about the window motors. So I said I would never buy those again. Might get the avs too.

    Does that front deflector actually do anything? Never really looked into those.

    Looks way better than the usual bug deflector and low profile. Never got a chip yet on my hood

    Had ceramic paint coating and glass done professionally. Should have done it along time ago. OMG looks like a “ mirror/glass” and feels so smooth like “ silk”. Literally looks better than showroom condition and will be a lot easier to maintain for the next 5 years

    After my last rack got yanked right off my truck from me thinking it could fit in the parking lot.....take 2, powder coated gloss black THULE truck rack system which can lower when not in use. Used Tundra factory rail system with 2016+ Tacoma factory rail clamps. they said it won’t fit.....I’ll have to show them my Tundra....

    Autoanything.com has sale now, the actual piece comes in black so I had my friend paint it “MGM” and is bigger as it covers the whole width of the cab, had lots of compliments and question what “edition”...told them “Platinum” lol

    Tip: clean the area good, mark your center mark with tape, making sure all corners make contact with roof. need a good caulking gun and make sure your bead is the same width as the channel on the spoiler. Pull the tape longer so it’s easy to pull once you set the spoiler on roof, the tape above 3rd brake light remove it completely as it’s hard to pull once set. Have fun

    Finally had time to instal this beast of a kit. Installation was easy no issues everything fit like a glove. Going to leave the side cover open since here in Hawaii weather is always awesome. Feedback to follow later

    Installation complete, everything fit like a glove no issues all Parts accounted for. Left the side open as here in Hawaii Weather is great and time to see if this thing does better than stock.

    Update from my instal of the S&B cai system. City average was 14.5 mpg and Hwy average was 30.0 mpg for only 20+ miles going 58 mph at 2.2k rpm, pretty much driving like a grandpa.......now that I feel good I could get better miles than what I used to get city 12.5 and Hwy 15.3. I will now do the opposite and drive like a “beast”068915BE-7100-4B56-A097-6C6536756335.jpg40A7F324-F78A-4F7B-8602-A5F85A64408B.jpg

    Any MGM is great on a Tundra. I ordered mines back in September 2016 and then the rear bumper recall issues made me wait till April 2017 to pick her up

    I recently bought the new Thule black truck rack “500XTB” black powder coated version. So I gave my 2016 silver Tacoma my old racks which are still 10/10 condition.
    Thule said that the Tacoma factory clamps will not fit the Tundra factory rail system. No worries I told them I can make a custom bracket: 16” length x 2.75” width x 0.25” height. Now my Tundra Thule rack fit snug and tight.

    Finally had some time to instal my Spyder LED rear tail lights with LED rear lights. Next up is my Tailgate Cap LED light. Pics to come as I’m doing a “hard wire” instal so it’s looks professionally done. Mapping out my wires

    Hard wired my Anzo tailgate cap LED light system; drive light, brake light, turn lights, reverse light and emergency light. OCD kicked in and had to make sure wires looked professionally done and clean looking. Looks way better than plugging it in the bumper 4 prong hitch and having it exposed. I had the bottom tailgate LED also but really liked how the top has a little lip and lights up so everyone can see my driving intentions.
    Next week is the fronts; Spyder headlights with turn signal LED and Morimoto fog lamps to match the rear set up
