My first ever mod to my new truck. I needed rod holders, so I made some out of a poly cutting board from Walmart...

I mean Starboard. It's totally Starboard guys. Very professional.

After that, it was just carriage bolts which I cut down and beveled to size to fit the rails. I'm using gear ties to keep the rods seated in the holders.

 

The dip looks so much better than the chrome, wow...

 

Say goodbye to those chrome vent rings!




Remove the radio face plate first and move on to the driver side trim. These are super easy to remove!

Broke the back nubs (plastic welds) and removed the rings. Do it slow so you don’t break the trim ring clips to reinstall after painting


Put the dash back together minus the rings!

Hit with another coat of Av flat black and will click them in place tomorrow
The dash looks 100% better just with them removed!

 

Thank you! I ended up ordering it when you posted this. Actually installed my new one yesterday.


Old one (water bottle at top is 20’ away. That’s where the picture cut out)

New one (more better!)

Picture and picture. I’m 1,000% happier

 

That’s a great idea! Mine came with a red trim but the truck is cement grey. Doesn’t match anything else.

 

Yeah... me too

 

To go back to my older post, I think I’m finished with my drawer. Got the tool organizers installed and loaded down.

 

Thanks. I decided to go with this one. A major complaint I've had with these are most are so wimpy they don't want to stay in place, even with the visors down. Sounds like it won't be a problem with this one.

 

You'd be right. Definitely fits snug! And much sturdier than most.

 

I just gotta ask. When I'm in my Taco, most of the time I'm sitting with my eyes looking out through the windshield. Why would I need a camera pointed at the same scene my eyes are looking at?

 

That looks SICK man!!!

 

I use the buttons on the steering wheel.

 

Looks great man, I still need to do mine. How long did yours take?

 

that's very nice, that's how I keep my tool boxes in the shop

 

Just got done installing a Meso Gasshole, a mod I shouldn't have to do but since Toyota figured they could save $0.01/truck and 5 grams of weight I had to install a cap holder.
At least it was one of the easiest mods to do.

 

I was wondering when someone was going to suggest that. So do I Tullie.

 

How tight was the screw?
