Buyer Beware: KTJO 4X4 Driver's Side Grab Handles w/ A Pillars, HUD, and Bowl Lights

Now on to buying more @MESO things......... maybe, perhaps, probably so.

 

Glurg, glurg . . .

 

It's definitely been a long lesson learned. I'll never be participating in a pre-order/group buy for something that hasn't already been produced and successfully sold.

 

That's a tough one because most times, the price increase after the first run is massive. I think I'm pretty much down with odd bits on the Taco though.

 

True, I've already put a lot of money (around $10k) into the Tacoma, all my own work so no labor either, and I really can't think of anything else to add.

Only thing I'm kind of undecided on now is in-cab switch for the winch. I've got the spots for it, but that wiring job is a royal pain in the dick. I've done a shit ton of auto-wiring, and that one just doesn't thrill me.

 

I'm in the same boat with the winch. I have a rear plate and just don't really want to run wires for that. I'm sure that I will regret it at some point, but for now, I'm just holding off.

 

I've been using just the normal 12ft cables that come with every winch I've touched in the last 15+ years, and never really felt like I needed an in-cab switch. But I have 3 blanks in the middle of my 7 switch meso panel under the a/c buttons, and no clue what to put there. I have his 4 button panel under the left side cubby that has fogs, offroad lights, front camera, and rear camera in it. and I've got my 12v plug, USB port, and both rostra heated seat switches I installed in the 7 switch panel. Pretty much covers everything I need there.

 

I just have the LSP7 with one blank remaining. I do have some Diode Dynamics pods that need to be wired up though.


I guess it depends if the winch remote is just that big of a hassle?

 

Pre ordered mine early last year, got it months ago and finally ready to try the install. Could y'all send a pic of the correct hardware needed for a successful install? I tried to look back dozens of pages but could not find it. Wanted to make sure I have the right stuff before I start taking my A pillar apart. besides the covers being a little rough around the edges, everything looks okay on my end.

 

Two different sized M6 bolts and a bendy nutplate that fits the bolts.

 

Thanks Tonered

 

You're welcome!


Real content, other than CS and installation issues, stopped at about Page 50.

 

Real grab handle content on this thread is like the real fruit juice % in those juice boxes we sucked on as kids. And that’s how I like it.

 

Tang!


Just lemme suck on the powda.

 

Tang is legit. And not terrible with enoigh vodka

I feel bad for the vodka.

 

But feels good for the soul. Also, just put that under the list of things that dirt poor college kid me did when I wanted A cheap buzz. Tang and gallpn plastic bottle of Taaka vodka......20yrs later it still hurts

 

I was the first to turn 21, so I got the liquor run duty. Friends wanted Skyy, but I couldn't find it. I thought maybe it was Skol? They weren't pleased.


OJ was always around. Any vodka works there.


But, on the cheap, it was Boones, $5 desert wines, or anything else that was kinda sweet. Good times.

 

Somewhere around sophmore year I learned I could re-enact John Belushi's animal hoise whiskey chug with a bottle of boones farm. 2 rounds of that in a noght and Id wake up next to some weird shit
