Guess Ill do something build

Heres when I first got it home. Always been a big Tacoma fan. This is my 7th one with all kinds of models since 85'.


Got the TRD 4x4 OffRoad with Tech package but didn't come with any exterior accessories. Gonna have to get something put on. First thing I added was the black vinyl on the chrome emblems.

 

Got some misc stuff dropped off!


Threw on the bed mat. Ill be USING this truck so wanted to protect the bed some.


Slapped on some bottom door sill protectors. Don't want them all scratched up from muddy boots.


And some front/rear Toyota OEM rubber mats!

 

Don't want anyone jacking my tailgate so I got a lock. Prefered one that locked with the key fob. So I got the Pop&Lock. Heard good stuff.


Now lets put it in! Tailgate panel removed.


Installed in place.


Drilled a couple of holes in the plastic caps and ran through.


Ran up to the front through frame rail and in through the factory grommet. Tried to hide as much as possible.

 

Next was throw on some side steps. Starting to look a little better.


My buddy wanted to get in on this haha. Say hi to my puppy.

 

Whats next. How about an OEM roof rack? Hello UPS!



Remove trim.


Install front bracket.


Screw on. Easy peasy.

 

Nice

 

Nice work so far!

 

OEM roof rack on!

 

Sweet ride should of got Husky Xact fits instead of the OEM All Weather Mats, huge difference over the OEM. You'll see you will eventually switch like we all do.

 

Now you tell haha. Wanted go all OEM. Maybe go a different route later.

 

What brand side step?

 

Toyota OEM side steps

 

Here’s another angle of the oem roof rack. It looks so much better with.

 

I got that rear bar for the tie downs that goes against the cab. Screws right in like the side ones. Also a cargo net

 

Got an OEM taco bedcover . Met up with a guy from Dallas from these forums. Traded him the plastic caps and installed there at his house. Pic of caps off.

 

This is my kinda build. Simple things that my dumb ass can do at home.

 

Screwed in the front and side brackets. Installed the small plastic covers and snapped the replacement caps back on.

 

Here it is with the bedcover installed

 

where did you get this bar from? I’m assuming it will accept 2 factory D-Rings to give me a few more anchor points.

 

Online somewhere awhile back. Don’t remember sorry but
the Toyota part# is

$56 PT278-35100-BH Truck Bed Header Rail

PT278-35100-BH

and yes I put two factory d-rings to help strap stuff.
