    If you contact them, they might throw something your way, but if you don’t have 3-4 orders they probably won’t do anything.
    If your on any local off road groups FB or gram, throw out a feeler for a group buy, or wait till October

    Coastal has sales. I can't remember what holidays, but I saved 10-15-20% by timing it. Call them about when their next sale will be.

    I think I got mine during a BF sale, maybe 10-15-……. Haha but it had to be two bumper kits or more, thankfully a local 4runner cat was getting a full set for his 5th gen, so I hopped onto his order.

    Finally tackled my Solo arms horrendous noise. The owners recently told me I should have used copper anti seize for grease and they would go for years quiet. Well, I didn't do that and maybe it was in the directions but maybe not, I dunno. The idea of pulling them to copper grease them was not very appealing. PS unit, cam bolts, alignment, etc.

    So I did what they pretty much said don't do. I added zerks. Problem solved, quiet as can be. Re-greasable.

    You have to pull the power steering pump?

    also did you or @Casper421 find the need for steering bumps? Or have you gotten good at how many spins before it wants to rub?

    You have to back off the steering rack to get the rear cam bolts out. I must have abbreviated wrong. You don't need steering stops.

    The day before tomorrow is always the correct answer.

    However, the day after yesterday also would suffice.

    TRD boost gauge and unichip are in. Running one of their mild 87 tunes for now, until the supercharger goes in.

    I milled and ground some 3/8 marine board to use as transitions between the steel stereo spacers and the 3/4 bar for the 20mm ball heads. There is some configuring to do, but we are in modular mode now. It came out about as secure as I could have hoped. I can still reinforce it from behind more if needed, but I doubt I will have to, it's pretty tough.

    Very nice!!
    I like how you put those 10mm bolts through the supports and into into the bottom of the stereo mount.
    You have good clearance, and looks like it could take a good jolt!

    Well done A+

    Thank you brother. I didn't have that much space, those are M5x.8 bolts with a 8mm head. But - the only flex is what the chassis behind/under the dash has. Any movement is from there. That marine board / hdpe, is tough.

    So it's "The wife's back to the family" getting stuff done week! First thing is the new grill and lights. The grille went in with almost 0 problems. I did have to trim the bottom 5/16 off, unnoticeable. So that's good!

    Next was the headlights, a flag on the play on this one, contacted TEQ, They are all over it, parts are getting prepped, soon to be on the way!
    A shout out to Hunter Gill at TEQ,
    Thanks for your help, glad you guys are on top of it!!

    I got the rear view tailgate Cam/Latch installed this afternoon, Another really easy install. I need to run the cable to the cab, pics tomorrow!
