    7.0 if a file naming convention due to the upgrade to the OVTune software. Tune is the same

    Anyone know if seat jackers necessary if you have the electronic adjustable seat?

    They make perfect sense for the mechanical seats, but I dunno about the electronic. :notsure:

    Edit: because electronic seats' front lip can be raised/lowered.

    Glove box organizer
    Running boards
    Tow rope (not an off roader, I used it to keep my rider from going into a deep ditch, pulled it back from the brink)
    Bed mat
    Tonneau cover (I like the trifold. Better and more convenient than using soft covers with ribs).
    Seat covers, rubber backed canvas. Inexpensive and work great.
    Weather mats, prefer toyota.

    Still looking at a few other items, but, given the Tacoma life expectancy, I will have a lot of tie to update.

    Very happy with the fridge slider. Makes access to the Dometic so much easier when camping.

    My top 10.

    1. Window tint - So much cooler in the truck now.
    2. AVS Window Visors - See above. (Sensing the theme?)
    3. Console and glove box organizer and tray - Perfect for organizing and those with OCD. :rofl:
    4. OEM Bed mat - Stuff sticks in the bed without sliding.
    5. OEM tailgate lock actuator - Why didn't this come standard?
    6. Expedition Essentials 3TPAM - Phone mount is rock solid, and looking at mounting more stuffs.
    7. Diamondback cover - Piece of mind for securing stuff.
    8. Desert does it seat jackers - Helps on long trips.
    9. MESO gas hole. - Gas cap fits perfect, no issues or fussing.
    10. OEM bed lights - Plug and play, and can finally see in the bed with the DB cover on.

    KDMaxx tune hands down, if it wasn’t for the tune the truck would be sold and I’d be driving a Ford today.

    I have a new hard Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover and after one day it's melted from the sun. It had melted where the handles are recessed. Has anyone had a similar problem?
