Lol, I like that! The struggle is real
And that, my friend, is how you justify to your wife that you must have a winch! It would be irresponsible NOT to get one!
A winch, new tires, and a lift too ?
Hello TACO Owners: Today I installed a set of TYGER Step bars on my new 2019 Taco TRD Sport. I'm extremely delighted with this set of Tyger Step bars. The Tyger bars look "Great"!!! Took about 45 min. to installed but could have been quicker the an extra pair of hands. There were very easy to install. I thought the process would have been a bit harder but to my surprise, very easy to complete. Again, get someone to help you as these bars are dam heavy, and I mean heavy!!. All I had to do was remove 6 plastic screws to expose the pre-threaded holes in the vehicle frame. I started with the middle brace and worked towards the back and then completed the front. NOTE: Don't over tighten the screws until you have all 6 screw on the bar. Adjust the bar and then tighten the screws. By the way, the Tyger bars come with all the necessary screws and washers, all in black. These bars are really well made and appear to be a product that will last a while. The other key point to mention is that these bars extend outward a few inches therefore if some parks to close to you and opens the door, your vehicle will likely be protected as the other vehicle door will likely make contact with your Tyger step bar before hitting your door. This alone is totally worth it to me. I'm sure other step bars will protect just as well too.
The packaging on the Tyger bars was amazing. Very well packaged to protect the bars. I assume that the better packaging cuts down on shipping damage, resulting in returns to seller.
For full transparency, I'm not affiliated with any parts manufacturer, re-seller or any accessories dealer. Just another Taco owner with a high sense of "Pride of Ownership".
I will post pictures soon.

This happened over the past couple of days...suspension yesterday and tires today (285/75r16). Super happy with how things turned out. Might need to dial things in a bit more and haven't really pushed it to check for rubbing yet either.
I think I need to change my profile pic hahaha

Baja Designs 20” amber combo in bumper
Icon Delta UCA’s going in tomorrow
Baja Designs S2 Sports going on bed rack pending proper brackets
Very impressed with Baja Design quality. Wish I would’ve gotten a Baja bar for the roof as well.

have fun with that passenger side through bolt! driver one comes out fairly easy but the passenger side it scrapes along the tub the whole way so i used a really long screw driver as a punch to get it out and a cro bar to get the angle going back in, was such a pain in the ass.
They are soooo good though the ride quality off-road is sooo much nicer coming from stock UCA, also no more bump steer!
Same lift and UCA’s ?
I’m pretty excited to get them installed. Pretty unhappy the way my truck drives currently just because of the bump steer.
once you put these on it's literally completely eliminated
Noob question incoming: How do UCA's affect bump steer? Don't they only control up/down movement? I would have thought it was the factory steering setup that is causing this with the combo of larger/heavier wheels and tires. Some of the roads I drive in town are riddle with potholes. I get bad bump steer when going over them. I've been thinking about looking into steering upgrades in the future, but I may be looking in the wrong direction. Which would be good, considering there are a lot more options for UCA's than steering upgrades from what I have seen.
So I just looked it up, looks like the uca moves with the tie rod and the stock uca was pretty much maxing in travel and icon has TONS. Looks like the tie rod Geometry is just screwed with the lift and uca’s allow to stay not perfect but better at angle. This is kinda a rough take from my google search, all I know is it drives like a dream now but I haven’t done an alignment yet. I was told 3 degrees positive camber 0 toe and 0 camber is the goal.
Ah ok. I'm gonna have to look into this more. I have the SPC light racing UCA's and the bump steer feels similar to stock still. I may have to swap out UCA's again in the future for something more beefy. I am curious to see the difference in them. Thanks!
