(Bought from Toytec, installed locally) *Total chaos UCA: (bought Toytec, installed locally) *New rear leaf spring pack: don't have link (provides about 2" of lift and stiffens things up a little bit) *35x12.50 Falken on 20" MR 309 Grid "race" wheels (Really, really regret that I didn't get 18" or even 17" wheels.

    Road trip to Loveland and you can pick up a pair yourself. Or go to Toytec. I spoke to them a few weeks ago about RCI and Victory sliders and they were great. They were also the only ones that didn't try to gouge for install. One hour. That's fair to me.

    Slee sliders + install and you felt like someone stole your wallet. Really nice though.

    Not a super long wait to get them new, but count on 4-6 weeks to manufacture. Seems quicker than some of the others... Worth noting that some claim it's necessary to drill holes in your frame to get good sliders that are truly weight bearing. RCI and Toytec say not so, and did not drill any holes when installing these. I noticed that the distance to from the last mount point to the rear tire is pretty big. It looks to me like the slider will flex if you're balancing the weight of the truck back there. I'll probably find out before too long!

    Toytec installed these for about $100.

    They did some other work for me that others had said couldn't be done (my 35" tire is mounted up under my bed now. Like, awesome to have my bed and a spare!), so it was a bit more total but extremely fair. Call, ask for Anthony.

    Nice. I spoke to Anthony. He was great. I have a list of stuff I want them to do now. It's a problem. But Christmas is coming.

    And if you ask, I think they're selling a lightly used Magnuson supercharger for around $4K. It might be gone, and I might have my numbers wrong by a bit, but it was a good deal. It took a lot of willpower not to buy that thing a month ago. I'll let them answer any questions about details or whether or not that's even true anymore.

    I had the TRD supercharger in my Tacoma serviced on Tuesday as part of the truck's 60k service. S/C Taco v. beast mode Tundra would be a fun race. The Tundra is fast without a supercharger. I want one though.

    Where are the plastic tabs from your bumper cover? From the installs I’ve seen those usually sit on the outside of the skid with some quarter inch carriage bolts.

    The reason I mention it is I have an RCA skid that is missing a little bit of hardware and I am trying to get creative with the final mounting of those plastic tabs. In the instructions it sounds like you mount those little carriage bolts with a nut and bolt to the skid. Then you add A washer on top then the plastic tab then another washer and nut. Almost like it’s spaced away from the skid. But when I removed it off of @Pinay truck for her it just had the carriage bolts with a nut and washer and the tabs bolted down. Her hardware kit was missing some parts when she had it installed.

    It looks like you were missing three-quarter inch fender washers and three locknuts as well. Just by looking at the online instructions. It really doesn’t matter that much I’m just OCD LOL just need to make a trip to the hardware store.
