    lol, which mods are making you jealous and yes ill put some pictures up late as i am at my dad's house looking after the dogs. My camera and my laptop i left with the gf so she could use the laptop but i will put some pictures up and maybe start a build thread... i was contemplating making a dual thread one about my tacoma and one about the build of the 1952 "white" cab im butting onto a 1991 dodge 1 ton 5.9 12valve cummins turbo diesel. and then lifting the truck and tuning the engine... so we will see what happens but ill get some pictures up. also do you know if those wet okle seat covers comply with the air bags that are now in the seats of the newer tacomas? (my 09 has airbags in the seats? ) anyways ttyl and get ya some new pictures.

    Please do a how to on how you did the door armrest. I think many of us would appreciate it cuz the stock armrest doesn't cut it on those rainy nights when you open the door.

    Hey Ben, I was talking about the HID mod that you did. You will have to do that for me when you come down.
    The Wet Okole seat covers do have the side slits for the air bags to deploy if needed. You just have to make sure to tell them that you have seat air bags when you order your covers
    Thanks again Ben... Hope you are doing well btw.

    I think our friend Albert decided for us already. I tell ya, that guy Albert is such a nice guy. :rolleyes:

    If you guys look up at the tabs above, go to the one that says "Mod & Tutorials v". Then scroll down to leather armrests. All the instructions are there my fellow TW friends. :D

    Thank You Bob!!! :)
    The door panels took me about an hour a door to do. I am not Mr. Joe Mechanic so if I can do them, anyone can.


    Thanks Bud!!! :)

    Thanks Matt...

    Well all i have to say is the HID kit was very easy to install and its the higher end one not cheap b.s. you always see. they actually have a little motor that goes back and forth for hi and low beam as it is one bulb for both. however it was effortless and i love them im still amazed at them ill get you the name of the kit i got thier freaken badass. (im not going all the way outside in my pjs to find out what they are right now tomorrow in the sun maybe its like 1am lol)

    and yes im doing alright surgery on my shoulder should be comming soon. lets hope i make the 100% recovery that the doc predicts :)

    Thanks

    Ok Ben.... where is the HID refferral? LOL.... Sorry I havent been online in awhile.
    Its good to know that you are doing well and will have a great recovery.
    Did you notice my Avid light bar and the Black Sand Pearl hood scoope? You didnt say anything. LOL. Anyway I Line-X'd my step hitch too to match the Avid light bar. It looks good IMO. I also got my weather techs from the group buy. One of my really good buddies Albert (W8N4Mud) did some custom work on my rear liners to make them fit. I havent taken any pictures yet, but I will in do time.
    Anything new on your Tacoma? Do tell! :)
