I think I just figured out my retirement plan. I'm gonna be rich. A mini roll of duct tape with a mini can of wd-40 in the middle. And the whole thing is encased in glass you have to break.

The kit arrived today and damn it is slick. Popped right in. The trick to get easy access to the spot is just pry up with a spudger here. Just pop it up and move it back a little without unhooking anything, and then it's easy to remove the vertical phone panel and a little piece that joins the...

Before I got my SR5 I couldn't find very many clear pics of the base stock steps nor the trd cast aluminum. Well now I got an sr5 with the basic steps and got a set of the cast aluminum from a 3rd party, and took a few pics of them while swapping. Effortless swap. Both models bolt to the same...
