    Doubles as a "piss-bottle" in an emergency too.

    I bought this, it says for Prius. Preus must have the same Entune with a CD player as the 2014 Tacoma. It is cheap, easy and it works at almost all sun angles. It is not perfect but for the Entune probably nothing would be, screen is fixed not adjustable. I bought a second for my daughter's 2016 Rav4, it also fits her car.

    I bought the closest thing to vinyl I could find. Layout a pattern, cut and glued pieces together. Only thing material is not ridged enough, so I put a retaining clip around perimeter. Works, was my first and only mock up. I like the clips and material you shared.

    This is why I used Unistrut when I made my tiedown system. I can find a way to bolt pretty much anything directly into the bed of the truck, if need be.

    Very clean work. I don't know why I keep putting this off :facepalm:
    What did you use as a reference? The any time fog light thread?

    Are the stock lamps actually rated to run all of the time?

    I'm not sure of the rating on the stock lamps. Mine are aftermarket anyway. I personally just like the option of running them if I want to. I wouldn't run them all the time.

    Didn’t do the mod but always ran my headlights and fogs while driving for years. Turns out my headlamps weren’t made for staying on constantly and got them replaced under a tsb (after 4-5 years). Fogs didn’t have a problem.
