Chemical Guys Jet Seal layered on top of Optimum Opti-Seal. I need to find something for my tires, but this was just a pair of coats of 303. I'm toying with picking up some AmmoNYC Mud.

 

Super clean. Nice.

 

Headlight plate. Today.

 

Did my oil change, lube today in my garage. Love how i dont need to lift my truck up to do the oil change lol. Headed to NY tomorrow early am so had to make sure im all good with mechanically. still need to fill my tires up a bit though, besides that im all set

 

Is that a MESO trim plate or another manufacturer?

 

Very sharp truck!

 

Meso. Plate.

 

Headlight plates super easy took probably 10-15 mins. Changed the rear end oil also.

 

Washed and waxed the best I could, considering I did it in a parking lot.

 

Looks a LOT better. But it depends on your color scheme of your truck TBH.

*IF* your truck color scheme *IS* RED and BLACK... then it works of course. I totally agree with your mod though - it *works* great, and looks awesome as well.

I've been on the red/black color scheme for a year, but I absolutely *HATE* those stickers.


Which is why I went with the TRD Off Road Badge instead (Amazon knock-off) but hey - it was red/black, so it worked for me.

 

That's a lot of red! Not something I think I would do, but I like it. Sharp truck tho!

 

Looks good man
I like the blacked out badges

 

Synology user here as well. Good stuff

 

New Project: RAV 4 knob replacement for Tacoma Trucks

Like a lot of Tacoma users - I absolutely *HATE* those little tiny knobs on the radio/entertainment console. They just DO NOT work. Period. Too damned small, too slick - and I have big fingers - so - NO.

TIME for a CHANGE!


So ordered a pair of the Rav 4 radio control knobs...


You can immediately see the difference here side-by-side. BUT... how does it look?


Right control knob on...


NOW the left is on. Big difference!


OK. So work the same - push or turn, works fine. With the Rav 4 knobs, you can actually use one finger to turn then instead of two like the previous Tacoma knobs. They have this rubber grip around the edge, so makes it super easy to fine tune with one finger now. If anyone was thinking about this as an upgrade - I'd tell them 'Hell YES' but, its a bit pricey for the Toyota OEM versions. Cost me $11.31 each knob plus delivery. Got them off Amazon from a dealer plus a few other items, so it came to about $12.50 each ($25 total) for this upgrade.

Expensive - yeah, for two hunks of plastic sure. Worth it (to me) every penny. One less truck irritation for me. Visually now - it looks better (to me) as well as functionally. Let me know your thoughts.

 

Bulletpoint TacoBar arrived today. Got it installed. Really like how it looks. Not to see how good it functions.

 

That's a nicer looking dash cover than the one I bought. Who makes it? I could not zoom in enough to read the tag.

 

Slider day! Huge shout out to Derrick and the guys @exploreoverland for hooking me up they are awesome and the product is very well made! I went with a 10 degree bend and kick out with dimple plate and bedliner. Bonus is its only 2 hours from my house.

 

I think that's the Sedona from Dash Designs

 

Can't believe how easy these were to put in with the "wet method". Never tried it before. Came out awesome.
