MESO Puddle Light build

Everyone who's installing might as well do the smart passenger door handle

 

His first ones were awesome but these are plug n play and way more coverage. Hard to improve on these new ones but Meso always finds a way.

 

True story

 

I went ahead and did it last night as my day today is full. Headed to the dealer in a little while for a battery replacement then it’s “Jeepin’ the Coast”. My father in law has a Jeep but I’m gonna show up in my Tacoma. It’s an annual gathering of tens of thousands of Jeeps from lands far away to cruise up and down the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Where I live, Long Beach, my city is the host city so there’s just traffic jams with modded out Jeeps. It’s crazy. It’s like spring break for adults. It’s the only time of year where we can drive on the actual beach. The other 364 days a year it’s prohibited.

 

I’ll be around all day. If you get in a bind, send me a pm and I’ll give you my cell number. I’m kind of an expert at the puddles now......you know, I’ve done one

 

Thank you Bryan! That is very kind of you !

 

So you’re saying it’s a bad thing if the nuts drop?

 

Yeah i got mine the other day, not installed yet. I'm in Middlesex County

 

South Jersey here! Right outside of Cherry Hill

 

Might as well get some sound deadener and do the doors too.

 

Both doors are off, and I fixed my speaker situation. One of the wires from the magnet to the connector was vibrating, touching ever so slightly. Yahoo, no more of that annoyance! Moving on to the hard parts! No broken clips or lost clips at that! Lucky! Yeah I think I mounted the speakers upside down but with the bracket kit from crutchfield I had to install that way to line up with the screw points.

 

Awesome, two fellow NJ bros! I thought I was gonna be the only one rocking these in N.J. lol. I’m right at the tip where Atlantic County meets Ocean County on the shore.

 

Ya there's a few of us out here, but nothing like the left side of the country. Was just recently out in California for a Yosemite trip, and I've never seen so many Tacoma's with pro grilles in my life haha

 

Lmao, I know man I’m jealous. So many beautiful parks and what not over there! So many destinations I want to see in Cali!!

 

Install time! Last weekend it was new oem pro tails with the total tail stage new, this weekend is puddles.

Can someone help me with step 1-A?

 

Well got the mirrors back on with the puddles installed. I have a ‘17 and I did have to dremel that spot on passenger side. Also had a little tip if anyone has a magnet tool to help prevent “nut drops” . Now on to the fun wiring. Wish me luck boy hope it goes smooth. Its nice not to be in a rush installing these. Got to take little breaks inside to eat and such.



For magnet trick, loosen them almost all the way and use the magnet and hand turn them off holding the magnet tool. Just make sure you have a good strength magnet. That’s how I did all mine without dropping. It can happen very easily in their location.

 

Hey guys, am I take both sides of this boot out? Both door and can side? Thanks

 

Meso should design a new functional boot

Good luck brochacho! I will try attempt #2 tomorrow

MESO should just mod a new functional boot for the door, with LEDS of course!

 

Cab side only. Should allow you to pull the boot out and have enough working room in the door jamb

 

I saw some people said taking both sides out help, is it a problem if someone decides to take both ends out? Or is that just more work than necessary?
