    Finally got around to installing a glove box light in my 3rd gen and fixing a major issue with the Tacoma. Heck for $30k+ Toyota should put a darn light in the glove box! I can never find my chapstick... but no more! This weekend I came up with the ultimate glove box light mod.

    I used a pair of Rigid D-Series Pros - the Midnight Edition is all black to give the install a stealth, OEM look.

    Sure they're a little big but the increased visibility more than outweighs the 50% storage reduction.

    I think your April Fools "prank" needs a bit more subtlety.

    I think it is tastefully over the top, mocking the current status of April’s fools jokes.

    So, are you saying that since all of our trucks need OVtune, we should all name our trucks Nicki?
