    They didn't steer me in another direction....odd. Of course, I went with all of the positive recommendations here and around the net. I'm going to go with what I have with fingers crossed that it works, but now I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit worried.

    If you don't mind me asking, what did they recommend to you?

    Installed the pro skid today. A little bit of a pain in the ass to do by yourself. Love the look of it though.

    They recommended MTX speakers for the doors and that's what I went with. The 6x9's (Front) wouldn't fit in the supplied brackets so I sent them back. They recommended Pioneer's as replacements so I went with them. So I have Kicker Tweeters and Pioneer TS-G690's in the Front, MTX Terminator6's in the rear. They sound fine to me but I'm no golden ear. Can't really say if Crutchfield steered me wrong or right since I never heard the Kicker door speaker. Hope you're satisfied with them. Report back when you get them installed.

    Mine's done it every time I used the parking brake after an under carriage wash at the local car wash. I stopped using the parking brake for the night after the car wash. I've heard it's easier to get it to release in reverse, but I back into my driveway too and can't reverse out of it.

    Anyone here in TW recommend an upgrade on speakers for a 2020 Tacoma? I have JBl premium audio radio. Preferably an Add on. I just want a little more bass.

    After driving all winter without a 3rd brake light, I finally got one installed on my soft top... its not plugged in yet, but at least its there. I need to find a good plug and play solution to hook it up. I am 100% against cutting, splicing, or using wire taps on the factory harness.

    It was. I spray painted it gray. I thought the letters would pop right off when I saw the tabs on the back. But they seemed to be stuck on with some adhesive as well. So I just taped them off and sprayed. I’m sure someone here has taken them off before. It would’ve been so much easier if they were off.

    I'm also reluctant to hack up the factory wiring. One option that you may want to consider is to use one of these.

    https://www.amazon.com/CURT-56584-Custom-Wiring-Harness/dp/B007EA6WQU

    You could use it to get easy access to the brake light wiring. It would require a minor mod, but that would be to the adaptor harness - not the truck. PM me if you have questions.

    Edit: Here's a pin-out.

    Sweet, thats exactly what I needed. I was looking at the other trailer kits that that cost $60, this one will give me what I need for half the price.

    That’s right before I installed that side. Holding the new one, oem still on mirror. Got them from car trim.com 60 bucks. Easy enough that if they go back I’ll slap on oem
