Removed Bed stickers with RED 4X4 and replaced with like sticker, all Matte Black.

Like the idiot I am, I ordered a set last week. They arrived today....and I realized I needed to order two sets. Ugh. Do I do front or back? One of each?

 

1 set is all you need, you should of gotten 4 covers total, they are only for the front seat bolts. The rear already has factory covers.

 

Just kidding. Looking for some humor today.

 

I recently watched a video that featured a new vinyl wrap that was much thicker and tougher than a normal vinyl wrap. The guy in the video put a piece of the vinyl on a painted cinder block wall and pounded it with a hammer and you couldn't tell he had hit it at all. I am not sure when I watched the video or who sells it but you might search for the stuff on the internet to see if it is available for general use yet.

 

Return it

 

OK, so I was able to snag a set of these before they were listed as no longer available. They arrived today and I put them on - nice touch.

 

Thanks! I needed the exercise...

Looks good! FYI China has 8 more of them left here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/4PCS-Anti-...rims-for-2015-2020-TOYOTA-Tacoma/153586153830

Mark, Get Set, Go!

More on them here.

 

Climate control rings. Ain't no big thing but it's a nice touch. Goers good with my cueball shift knob which I didn't think to get in the pic.

EDIT - Should have mentioned these are from AJT Designs. Thanks guys.

 

Got this idea from somewhere on here. Two silicone wedding rings for the radio knobs. They fit pretty good and kinda match the inferno color.

 

Today I: loaded the truck with my recovery box + took some Plast-X variant to the shit ass clear plastic above the instrument gauges.

 

I installed the spc control arms today, I had installed a 2'' lift in the past and didnt realize the stress on the stock a arms and steering geometry, once i completed this i got an alignment done. The ride was better than stock and it made driving/handling so much easier. Did I mention the install was easy?

 

You're not alone!
Since we never drive from the back seat we'll both survive.

 

Egads, I've been had!

 

Hood is done with paint! Now time to install it

 

I don’t know, all I know is there is a lip that over hangs the rail And looking at other people’s pictures that the dealer installed using that factory flat tape just looked too close for me. I just had it in my head if there was going to be any flex or jolts it wouldn’t have much leeway, also that tape is what maybe 1/4” which will get compressed over time and close the already minimal gap. From my past reading it was always suggested to replace the tape if ever removed/reinstalled (probably because it’s junk, you already have it off and more likely to tear). The stuff I used has more cushion (Possibly seals better is my assumption) seems highly durable and I’d have no issue removing/reinstalling the canopy with the same seal.

I took delivery, new, loaded on the trailer and installed it myself with the seal I posted. Never tried the flat tape

 

Installed 2 great products today. The Taco Garage DSM with a Quad Lock head and a delrin shift knob from user @7r41lbr34k3r.
They were both super simple installs which took maybe 30 minutes from opening the boxes to finish.

 

Regardless thanks for posting it up. I’m going to take a closer look at it. Not worth messing up the paint on a new truck for a shell.

 

The ride was awesome, almost factory like, until the factory wheels and tires were replaced. The ride became a bit rougher when the LT285/55/20 tires and the 20inch wheels were installed. I’ve gotten used to it over time but I can definitely feel the difference when switch between this Tacoma and my spouses, which is all factory.
