Mod request

Any mods done or uses for the Garage door opener panel done at all? I don't have a garage door opener and wonder if there are other creative uses anyone has had for it?

 

The only thing I can think is try and get you hands on one form a Taco with the Off-road package. They have the outside temp pod that goes in place of the garage door flap. Thats what I have been looking for.

 

I wonder if I can get this part from a dealer?

 

You know, I tried looking one of these up for you guys. I can't find a Toyota Parts store online that has one with a price on it. They all say $0.00.

I guess that means they don't have it.

 

Thanks for trying Mark. By the way, I think I have basically the same truck as you...except for the color.

 

It's my understanding in order to have the compass/temp gage you have to buy the entire console. I've heard other's say the price Toyota has quoted is in the vicinity of $900.00(ouch!!). Additionally, you need to purchase the temp sensor separately(located in the front bumper area). The wires, I believe, to do the install are already hardwired. However, there are aftermarket version(s) on e-bay considerably cheaper. Check out the following link: I would PM the OP(HILLCLIMBER) and see if he can sell you one or direct you to someone who can.

Nice truck!

 

Hmm... Seems like it shouldn't be THAT expensive. Oh well, guess I will just have to be content with my GPS compass.

 

Thanks for the info man. Looks like I will not be putting that on my truck.

 

Why don`t you just put your pot in it?

 

Yes in BC we just put our pot in it, or klenex.
NO I have dope in mine!

 

As I recall BC the sidearms were the only thing they wondered about.
They bought a US badge then. It is not as though we have jurisdiction.
OK, that`s cool.
