A little town called Hayesville, right on the Georgia border.

 

Sorry in advance if I missed this somewhere - didn't see it. BUT... If the headlights are an "option", that means there HAS to be existing wiring somewhere - on the other hand, there has to be some type of additional OEM harness that Toyota is using. I just can't see them splicing & dicing wires at the port or rail yard to install an "option". LEDs are an available upgrade when you "build-your-own" on the Toyota website (at least it was when I built mine). I doubt it's an assembly-line option...it would cost way more. Has anyone ever look into this? Any Toyo techs in here that can verify that?

*Side note: The FJ Cruisers had A LOT of "options" that were already pre-wired. In many cases you just needed to get the mechanical bits, and the switches. For that matter - a few of the switch blanks had the existing wiring just plugged into the back of the blank, or hanging behind the panel, zip-tied to something else. For example, the sub-woofer, wiring was already behind the panels, you just needed to purchase an OEM adapter harness that tied in to existing wiring, the power switch, and of course - the subwoofer. For the tow package, the trailer wiring had two dummy plugs under the footrest (one for lights, one for a controller) that were just plugged into blanks, you just needed to purchase the OEM harness that ran back to the hitch. It would be pretty interesting to see if a tech could verify if the Tacos are the same.

 

Bumpershellz to remove a bit of chrome.

 

I just got your tag.....

 

I was just looking for a under lid storage contraption for my 21 Taco. My 13 had a very handy elastic web pc from Grid-It but was disappointed to see the much smaller under lid space, the whole console actually,, on my new truck, pretty useless in comparison. Grid It doesn't get that small.

 

On its face it’s not as useful as one might think. After I installed mine, I attached a small first aid kit to it that is easily accessible (and removable) the same as @ClassyTacos did. Recently I installed that net thing between the front seats and found the armrest molle was useful for attaching some small bungees between it and the Molle inside to hold the net in place. Overall I recommend it.

 

Great idea. I'll try that first since I have plenty of electrical tape laying around. T

Nice. I like that area of the state. Have actually been by there when traveling down 64. Have spent time on Lake Chatuge and in Murphy.

 

LCA skids from @runnin4tacos. Easy install (3 bolts). Beautiful welds and matches the TRD skid plate
Have any of you guys gotten a mid/rear/gas tank skid? Been looking at the CBI one’s which they can color match as well

Finally got my AlphaRex headlights installed. Install was fairly easy due to my aftermarket fender flares. I also added the MESO Customs headlight trim plate, it really gives it a finished look.

 

Not today but still wanted to share installed new rim and tire (my spare) only to have them damage my wheels... well good news! Walmart paid for my new rim and I was able to keep my old one as well. ...they also installed wrong type of weight.oh well thats what I get for not going to my usual spot.

 

Tires at Walmart! What could go wrong?

 

Had my Tacoma towed to the dealer as it went into limp mode with codes related to fuel 4 codes total and 1 pending code.

 

They feel great so far but I need to get a legit alignment. They were rubbing the bottom of the fender a little but I fixed that. Definitely have to trim even if caster is maxed out on the LCA. CMC wasn't much different from when I was running Wildpeak AT 33s. Weight of wheels are almost similar with these being a little bit heavier.

 

After going back and forth with my two different bed racks that I have, I finally landed on putting my home made racks back on the truck. I lowered my coilovers to soften up the ride as well.
Loving the stance. Sits just over 6” in the front and a little over 5” in the rear.

 

Finally Added my Retrax Cover and Yakima Overhaul Rack.

 

how you liking the intake? I was thinking of getting one
