Some quick pics of the TruXport cover...............quality and easy install.

At the dealership for it's 6 month service and, hopefully, they can reattach the TRD badge on the passenger door without needing to get the body shop involved. For some reason the adhesive is letting go.

How did you wire those sidemarkers?

Thanks! I actually turn off my keys (hold lock and press unlock twice). My spare key is always turned off and I just turn off my main key every time I get out of the truck so the signal is not transmitted. I spoke to one of the guys who had his Tacoma stolen in January (3 blocks away from my house) and he said they broke the door handle to gain access and used the OBD II port to steal it. His keys were in a faraday box so they didn't do the relay theft thingy. So I installed a dummy OBD port and moved the actual port somewhere else in the truck.

Where in central Alberta are you? I used to live in Rocky Mountain House...

Edmonton, and yes...an OBD lock would be nice. A German company makes some out of metal (OBD Saver but they make vehicle specific and the ones I came across are nearly £200 (English pounds)...

Awesome! I also lived in Spruce Grove for a bit... Love Alberta!

Cheers!

Downside - couldn't do anything with it.

Upside - ordered a new one instead. Supposed to be in middle of the week.

Also, how long does TPMS need to reset itself? The two passenger tires read 35psi and the two driver's side are 40 and 41. It did feel like it was riding rougher than usual on the way home.

RivetNutBob · Sep 26, 2020

Just ordered two RotopaX mounts as well as a 2 gal gas and a 1 gal water RotopaX, one for each wheel well. That's the plan anyway.

Or you could buy a 3$ roll of 3m adhesive trim tape and do it yourself. I mean, that's all they're going to do.

I had considered that but they're ordering a whole new badge.

I guess that works. Seems unnecessary on their part.

If you change your front turn signals to the VLED bulbs you have no hyper flash.

GTR Lighting Carbide CANBUS 2.0 bulbs also. I replaced both sets of signals and my brake lights with these.

I did not know that for the keys. How do you turn them back on?

Awesome.
Now you got me thinking of an OBD lock, turns out that they are quite common in Europe but not here...US or Canada.
