    If you put the rear (vertical) parts of the rear seats down you can store the headrests behind there. Toyota designed places for them. Look in the manual.

    KD Max tune, OEM Pro grille w/ four amber lights that turn on with DRL lights, OEM 5” nerf bars, OEM double crossover roof rack, Bilstein series, 285/75R16 TOYO Open Country A/T III’s on 16x8 FN Fx Pro Wheels in matte black (incl. spare) with Gorilla black spline lugs, TRD Pro skid plate, OEM chrome tailpipe, TRD Pro gear knob, Meso gasshole V2, chalk bag hydro flask holder, Bakflip MX4 topper, Spiker hood struts, OEM bed step, OEM TRD Pro tail lights, all chrome replaced with cement interior, Meso black out ultimate turn signals, stage 1 tail light kit, the elusive TRD start button, AJT cement radio knobs, all Meso ultimate LED dual color interior lighting, OEM power tailgate lock kit, OEM black chrome exhaust tip and other mandatory taco nerd accessories
    I’ve been looking for radio knobs that will still illuminate and there’s not a lot of them out there. I was looking at those from tacomods and I really like them. I just wish they kept the illumination like the current OEM ones do. I found these from AJT. I’ve been impressed by everything AJT makes. They are taking pre-orders and shipping out around December 31st. You can get them in various colors (I went with cement since I’ve already replaced everything chrome inside my cab with cement interior accessories). My truck has the black out package and almost everything chrome has been blacked out. The radio knobs are $33 and called:
    Radio Knobs (2020+ Tacoma V1) - CEMENT
    PRE-ORDER: ESTIMATED DELIVERY BY 12/31/2021.
    INCLUDES 2 KNOBS:
    “Replacement radio knobs for the 2020+ Tacoma. Injection molded of high strength and impact resistant ABS plastic. Lights up like the OEM knobs. Easy pull off/press on assembly, no tools required. Made in USA.”
    Currently, I have the factory OEM skinny knobs that I just added some size 8 silicone cement colored rings on. I think I’ll like these a lot more and they will definitely look and feel better then what I’ve got right now.

    Installed a rear track for the end of the bed (while it should have included it from the factory, ordering it online from a local dealer was only about $35). Then I installed these Rago Fabrication mounts. The lower extensions were blemished but I frankly couldn't find anything wrong with them, seem like really high quality stuff.

    Toyota designed a space behind the rear seat backs for all three of them. Take a look in the manual

    Been learning how to vinyl wrap this month. Also added white stitching and some various parts to the interior and painted and restitched a generic pro knob from Amazon.

    Went with matte white as I'm about ti wrap the whole truck in it.

    Thank you.

    I just slowly unstitched it and watched the pattern then restitched it the same way in white nylon waxed thread.

    Added these LED motion sensor magnetic flashlights from Home Depot to the front cover panel of the @DiamondBack Covers earlier this Summer. Did a small mod to the flash lights by removing the smaller magnets inside and replacing them with bigger ones, magnets the same size as the ones 3M taped to the underside of the cover panel for each flashlights’ respective “docking station”.

    More recently, to help complete lighting up the truck bed’s interior space under the DB cover, I added the DB light to the back cover panel just yesterday. Luke and the DB fam sent it over as a thank you gift back in mid October. It was totally unexpected and I don’t deserve it. I super appreciate Luke’s and the DiamondBack company’s gifts and acts of kindness.
    Earlier in May, they also sent me thank you gifts consisting of a DB ToolBar kit, a set of Quick Fist clamps, and a camo DB trucker hat. I’ve been using the hat, but I have been procrastinating on the DiamondBack ToolBar kit installation. (If you think that’s bad, there’s a set of Total Chaos bed stiffeners I got back in 2018 that I’ve yet to install!:eek:) Anyway, I gotta find a good spot for the DB ToolBar kit where it, and whatever item(s) I attach to it, does not/do not get in the way of other things that I put in the bed, nor hinder the locking mechanisms.

    Took off O.E.M. mud flaps then, after cleaning drilled hole'sFlap.jpg so, mud/salt can drain out instead of being held against bottom of fender.

    I put in the Intake FLOW Accelerator - Toyota (PTR03-35160-AE)
    honestly, I dont hear a difference however that might be the years of motorsports/fire ranges that have affected my hearing.

    I think the point is that air flow is improved, so less of a restriction. I notice the silicone intake tube noise was less after I installed the accelerator.

    Now all you need to do is "try it out!"

    Be sure you do it in Utah, close to Hurricane?
