So much win in this thread! I'm gonna have to steal this idea for my truck...sorry

 

Personally not a fan of the Line-X center console, but it looks great on the bed pockets. Original approach though!

 

Don't be sorry, that's why I made a thread

 

I like both mods alot man

 

Did most the wiring yesterday but ran outa time before my dinner plans. Hoping to finish it up tonight if the weather isn't soo cold. Just need to install them and ground the lights pretty much. Yesterday took me longer then expected running att the eiring under the truck neatly and out of the way. I eneded up running my power wire along with the factory wire loom, brought it up under the drivers seat gromet. Also bough an add a fuse for tapping power off the factory fuse block.

 

that looks awesome.I WANT MY WHOLE INTERIOR DONE IN LINE X

 

So after getting my shift surround line-x'd i figured i'd get something done to the center console and the door panels to bring a little more black color into the truck. I sent my Center sonsole off to JPM Coachworks on friday and got this picture form them yesterday. I should have it in a day or two and with it will come some more black alcantara to do the door panels. Hopefully i'll be able to find some time and a semi-warm day to do the doors within the next couple weeks.


Still waiting for a decent day to finish wiring up the bed lights. Hoping for today...fingers crossed

 

oooh.. I like that a lot! I need to re-do my leather on my door panels... the 3M adhesive didn't last long and it is all pealing off now.

 

I use 3m super 77 for subwoofer enclosures and it holds up amazing. Try that

 

DONE DONE DONE!!!!!!

 

Here is my bed light mod all finished up. Came out even better then i expected!!!

I put one screw in each side to hold them in the bed because the bottom tabs broke off while removing them.
Drivers side



Passenger side



Lit up under the tonneau cover

Lit up no tonneau cover outside




My carling switch

Total cost was roughtly:
$25 for the lights, gromets and wiring plugs
$6 for wire
$26 bucks for a add-a-fuse (dont get me started, paid too much i know but napa was the only place that had one and i was anxious)
$30 for the carling switch and 3 gauge blank
$5 for line-x on the bed pockets
Plastic for the bed pockets, Free

Worth every penny and every minute i spent on it!

 

thats sweet dude. really diggin the lights

 

I hope Toyota is watching this and puts bed lights in the next Tacoma. Sigh......unlikely.

 

Sweeeetttttttt, guess I need to get off my ass and do mine.

 

CLEAN

 

unique! I like the concept of bed lights in those cubbies.

 

Thanks boys!
