    I am having trouble understanding what your project was. I hate my cig lighter plug-in for my cell phone charging cable as it interferes with the cup holder. Can you take a quick photo and send it (attach it)? Thanks.

    I've been contemplating doing this, but have no idea what the process would be to paint those. Spray paint? Sand and prime?

    My painting experience is pretty much limited to wood surfaces and walls lol

    A picture wouldn't really help. There may be threads out there on how to remove the cigarette plug but all I did was grab it with pliers and pull hard. What also helped was pulling out the blanks next to the plug and reaching in to push on the tabs that hold the plug in place. May not be plausible with big fingers though. It will eventually come out if you work at it enough. From there just tap into the wires on the back of the plug to hook into your charger.

    It was actually super simple. I just removed the pieces sanded them with 400 grit, cleaned them, 2 coats of self etching primer, then 3 coats of rustoleum 2x paint and primer rattle can flat black, then 3 coats of matte clear by duplicolor let it dry for an hour and installed it

    Traded in my '07 for a 2011 TRD-OR in magnetic grey. I like the color better and much lower miles.

    It came with an MBRP catback exhaust. I'm not a fan of any noise over stock so it's not for me. If anyone in the PNW wants a free upgrade i'm looking to trade for a stock exhaust!

    Make sure you wait 10-15 min between coats and do not handle at least for an hour or the finger prints will be visible on the clear

    Got a chance to use the truck as it's truly intended :thumbsup:

    22 lbs per brick with 38 bricks total. Also some lumber so roughly 850 lbs. The Tacoma hauled it with my brother with ease, including with A/C on full blast! Sorry it was hot yesterday in Southern California: 80 degrees :crapstorm: :D

    Bought a new battery because I thought I finally killed the four year old one that is in it right now. Turns out its something more sinister.

    No crank, won't start.
