Yes it was good! Lots of positive vibes there. I'm working on a video. I mostly did instagram live which was fun to try.

Very cool.

I've been wanting puddle lights and want to add a set well prior to hunting season starting up.

Have two other lighting mods to tackle later this week and then I'll look into the puddle lighting. Those strips look great and provide a long pattern that would be super.

I may be in touch later on with some wiring advice. Thanks !!!

Sweet looking truck. Those wheels look perfect on there, too.

Is that the Inner Coastal Waterway in the background ?

As far as car care stuff......I knew I was gonna be up against the wall when buying a black truck. Frequent washing is needed compared to the last truck I drove the past 11 years. It looked great whether dirty or not. This beast, though....is a different story.

I asked around over in the detailing forum here on TW and was directed to Chemical Guys products. I bought their "Black Car Kit" and some other stuff, a cheap electric pressure washer, a copy of their foam cannon from Amazon and many microfiber cloths.

The 1,500psi electric washer is okay.....wish I'd gone with a stronger gas model that can be adjusted down from 3,000+psi to a 2,000psi setting. I'll likely buy it one day once I wear this one out.

The foam generation with another 500psi would be welcome.

I'll let the foam cannon (with their V07 soap) do it's thing and sit there while sipping a beer or two.....then rinse off with the pressure washer. Some times I'll do this one more time. Most times that's all it takes. On days that I apply sealant & wax then I'll do two back-to-back foam washes and then it's safe to use the two bucket method to get it spotless with a microfiber mitt. Once it dries then the sealant & wax is used.

Life would have been so much easier if I'd have gone with the Quicksand color that was my strong runner up on color choice. I just didn't know at that time if it would be one I'd love long term. Six months into it and I can say that I really think it would have. Oh well.....now I know what color my 4th Gen Tacoma will be.

Yes. They definitely put out a lot of light, which is extremely nice when it is pitch black outside and no lighting around. I went with the LED Strip Lighting verses the Rock Light Pattern for the simplicity of the Light Spread. The LED Strip Lighting covered everything where the Rock Lights didn’t exactly have the 100% spread I was looking for.

Rock Lights

LED Strip Lights

Pretty similar for either option but huge difference. Definitely recommend this mod and it’s an easy mod to add for a little safely and convenience. Let me know when you get around do completing it and I’ll help with any questions you may have.

I don't know the name of the rail but it was made for a Kayak. I purchased it from Mariner Sails in Dallas. I did cut it down to fit the width of the dash better.

@Trailguy and @EastVanTaco : Not sure if you got Aluminum Rails or Polymer, @Trailguy, but after data-mining the Marine Sails site, and cross referencing some Amazon hits, I believe these might be the rails you're speaking of... https://www.yakattack.us/GT90_08_p/gt90-08.htm..can you confirm? Great idea, btw!

I had my Icon stage 2 installed with some new raceline wheels. Love how everything turned out. Also took out my platidipped 2017 off-road grill and put in my neighbors 2018 grill. Overall I am super happy, just need to get some miles in the dirt.
