    You get that many dirty looks? Whenever I see a lifted Tacoma or Jeep with one I think they look f**kin badass!! Wish I knew how to photoshop one on my rig before I went through with it...

    You can do the same thing for cheap with some Krylon Fusion spray paint, some silicon sealant, and an afternoon of your time.

    Look up the Black headlight mod (BHLM)... Pretty easy to do once you get over the fear of sticking your headlights in the oven LOL!

    Ok...I know I'll get funny looks for this, but....I keep a full roll of TP and some plastic grocery bags tucked into a plastic coffee can like the one below.

    http://www.amazon.com/Folgers-Country-Roast-Ground-Coffee/dp/B00I8G9216/ref=sr_1_cc_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1459451832&sr=1-4-catcorr&keywords=coffee

    Why? More TP. I have a young daughter and she's been able to use it as a portable toilet for #1 and #2. If you have to, you wrap it tight in a plastic bag and dump it into a trash. The bags are also good for dog poop. It also works well to have the bucket if someone starts getting sick. It also is good if someone (in my life before the tacoma) gets stuck and you need to dig out of sand.

    Thanks, looking forward to it. Was considering something similar with the leftover leds I have from my bedlight install.

    Any of you ever tried this? Saw this in the frugal mod thread and wondered if others have tried it/if it made a noticeable difference?


    "Remove the thick cover from your tweeter fro FREE improved high notes.

    Well? Does it work?

    I've been having issues with high notes in both my tweeters and the speakers mounted in the headliner

    I would be surprised if it works. The lack of high notes comes from Toyota using a cheap paper cone and whizzer dome tweeter. Removing the cover may clean up the sound a bit, but it will also reduce the moisture resistance. The speaker may wear our prematurely, but in this case that's not a bad thing.
