    Yeah...I built the harness that goes from the bussmann relay box into the cab a cpl weeks ago and just had the molex plug hangin out above the console. There are some more pictures of it on my build thread. I bought a used overhead console from a fellow TW member so I could tinker with it without ruining my original. I just need to add the lights and compressor so the switches will not just look purty :p

    Full disclosure...I followed the write up that @tacozord posted

    managed to adjust the driver side 6112 shock, without a spring compressor. used the jack method and was able to move the c clip up one setting on the drivers side to help correct the tacoma lean.

    No mods, but I came across this video today for installing LED daytime running lights in a '12 - '15. The video is made by a Toyota certified tech and it's easy enough for the biggest of novices (like myself) to do.

    It's a never ending $100-$200 a week thing & still going.
    Plasti-dip chrome bumper and cleared, I'm liking it. Going to need to get a painted bumper now. Sound deadened roof. Did doors about a month ago. Now to do the floor soon.

    Did it make a good difference for dulling down outside noises? I'm doing my doors for sure in spring and have been contemplating whether or not it's worth taking it further.

    I can't tell a big difference in road noise on roof. It will hopefully help on this he hollow sound in the rain, the headliner in very thin. Doors helped some, I did them when I did an OEM Audio system install in early November. I've read doing the floor is pretty helpful on noise and I'd think it should help. I just haven't had time to do it yet. It took 40 sq feet to do doors and roof. I still have 40 sq feet left so it's going on the floor. Btw I'll be getting your mirror kit soon I hope, it's on my list.

    I picked up one of the RAAMAudio deadener packs, enough to do the doors at this point. It does look like a time consuming ordeal but the doors is for a speaker upgrade and the rest I'd be willing to do if it makes a big difference in reducing noise.

    Sounds good on the kit... I'm sure you'll be glad once you have it installed!

    Are floor mats a mod?
    Santa delivered! ( on Sunday no less!). Wifey grabbed and wrapped before I got to peek, but after a very scientific weight and shake test, I thinks it's recovery gear like straps and shackles and stuff!

    I finally got fed up with my squeaky leaf springs so I took the tires off and torqued the crap out of the leaf spring bolts. No more squeaks for now... I hope it holds
