    Great post! How exactly did you get the visor tags off? Again, great post and I appreciate the time you took doing it l.

    I just plasti-dipped the visors. Taped everything off and went to town. Very happy with them. Glad you like the build! I try to update it as it grows.

    I definitely want folks posting pics / comments / advice on everything they’ve tried! I’m sure there are easier, better, cheaper ways to do all of this.

    Ohhh gotcha. I haven’t messed with plasti-dip yet but I’ve heard good things for exterior pieces. How’s it holding up on the fabric visors? Toyota really went to town on these safety tags!

    I got the handle covers in. They seem really well made and are a perfect fit. I just tested the fit though, I haven't had a chance to put them on yet. Trying out a light headlight tint today, but I'll throw some pics of the handle covers on here within a couple days when I get them put on

    How are the speakers that you installed? Read many great reviews about them. How are they in terms of loudness and bass?

    Also, for the headlight side decal, how did you put them in? I got them in the mail yesterday but a little confused.

    Great post.

    I love the speaker upgrade. I listen to my music at around 45-55 and that's where you'll really notice the difference. SO much more clarity when turned up loud. Bass, mids, and treble. It was so muffled before. The tweeters made a huge difference and I'm really glad I swapped the 6x9s in the front. If I'm being honest I didn't notice much of a change when I swapped the rear door 6x5s but I can say I like knowing the sound is at it's peak clarity.

    Those side reflector decals just go on the outside of the headlight. I followed the instructions they sent and it was super easy. You'll notice it a lot when the truck isn't in direct sun. I wouldn't recommend the side mirror blinker covers though. The ones they sent didn't even cover all the chrome and they were a pain in the a$$ to get on without bubbles or wrinkles.

    Hi there @CherokeeCajun, I am looking to find a set of Fog Light bulbs for my brand new 2018 Tacoma Off Road. Do you know any brands or fits for them? I believe I need H11's, but not sure if all bulbs will fit...

    Garage Door Button was easier than I thought. Hardest part is figuring out where to solder the wires on your circuit board. I just sat there placing wires in areas until the button opened the door haha. Once you've got that down you're good to go.

    1. Remove the cubby. Just use pry tools. There are 2 tabs on the side that pop out.
    2. Drill the hole so that you can fish the wires through. I put mine where it looked easiest and didn't interfere with any tabs but you can pick any spot that is clear.
    3. Solder the wires to your circuit board and attach the button (it comes with 2 tiny screws).
    4. Mount the opener wherever you want. I used velcro so I could get to it if I needed to and placed it by the fuse box.

    Thanks for sharing! Love the great ideas! Would you mind sharing where you found the "black out tail chrome" tint ?
