    Pulled the head unit and reached down from the back. It took some work to get it out, but it came out. There's some tabs that hold it in. I pushed it out enough to grab it with some needle nose pliers, and pulled while I tried to push down on the tabs from the back.

    I put some spade terminals on the end of the wires that came with the USB plug so that I could plug it right into the factory harness...no running new wires.

    I am kind of like that. On second thought, no I’m not. Two kids, junior in college and a junior in high school, but I still get a new vehicle every 3-4 yrs. The wife about every 5 yrs. I understand what you are talking about b/c I get bored with mine too. I love the Tacoma, but in about another 2 yrs, I’ll get something else. Hopefully a 2021 Corvette. Probably keep the Tacoma too. Never satisfied.

    Do you have a multi-battery setup or are you just using as needed?

    just using as needed for now - seeing how it goes before I commit to any direction. But maybe a larger battery and solar mounted on the RTT to keep it topped off.

    Gotcha. I picked up a Alpicool on an Amazon deal and the stock battery certainly won't handle extended periods without having to run the truck. Haven't made up my mind on dual battery or solar (or both) yet. It is nice having cool drinks and sammiches on road trips though!

    Barn owl swooped in front of my taco, busted out the center portion of the grille perfectly...:rofl:. I really liked that barn owl, he would hang around the house sometimes

    I thought of that but then wondered if it would have broken something more expensive to fix. So I just re ordered the faux trd pro grille.


    I sure hope so. Did not see the owl after the impact when I walked around looking for him. He did run off with the Toyota emblems though because those where also not found.

    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    Sorry about the grill. Here's one for you. Not me but this is from awhile back. They didnt even know it was in there till they got home. Turns out only minor cuts and was ok. How can you not know you hit something that big?..lol

    Ordered myself a bestop 2 today. Had a 10% off coupon. It’s listed as on back order, but hopefully it will be in stock soon.

    I find the truck is more stable when cornering. Another advantage is the kit is really a DIY compared to adding a leaf in the rear. No alignment check is required after install.
