    I never posted this up, so I'll call this, what I did a few years ago when I removed the rear jumps seats from my SR5. The aluminum diamond plate pieces cover up the white body paint that was exposed when I removed everything, and it made it nice for carrying groceries. I wanted to buy the SR black full back panel to replace what I have now, but I couldn't see spending the $600 or so dollars for it.

    I plan to make up two drop-in shelves made out of aluminum that friend of mine will weld for me that will fill in the area behind the seats at the same level as the storage compartments and cover over the hump also, which will make it even better for carrying stuff.

    I wonder if you could make those drop in panels actually replace the plastic covers, and hinge up out of the way against the back wall (and latch in the vertical position maybe) if you need to access the footwell.

    Thanks, I never thought of doing that, but what also would look would be to make the top new fill-in plate one-piece and replace the existing diamond plate cover pieces that are in between the storage compartment lids :thumbsup:

    Sweet! Might add a set of feet on the side closest to the front seats that is on a hinge or rod so that they fold flat when you lift the plate up. Nothing worse than just about ripping your ear off after you try to grab something out of the middle of the truck.

    That looks really good. Are the beige inserts plastic/vinyl? If so you could probably dye them black. :notsure:

    Yes I know, many say it’s a useless mod but I say, no more fiddling with that plastic cable. Split second and done500539AE-A17D-4A16-9171-16BBC76AFC2F.jpg185B5FC1-2C40-4E60-84B8-71EF805FF591.jpg

    It seems the OEM screw never fares well with this mod. I think MESO should provide a replacement screw for an extra 50c.

    Yes, I must say, it was very tight and took some serious pressure and also trying to brace the door as well in removing the screw.

    Nothing to do with the truck directly, but I figured ranting in forums was not going to make any difference, so I sent a feature request to Toyota telling them that if they made Keyless Ignition an option on the upcoming manual Tacoma's I'd be one of the first in line to trade mine in.

    Probably won't make any difference though. I'm apparently one of the few people that would buy a manual Tacoma that even wants this feature. It's mostly just a cathartic exercise.

    How well does it work, as the stock cap retainer sucks, and where did who did you buy it from?

    MESO Customs, works fantastic. Cap fits in and isn’t coming out unless you take it out. This is version two with the center whole rubberized teeth which work great.

    Might have been asked, because as you all know, you miss 24 hours on here and your 4-5 pages behind, but how much room is there to get behind those visors to clean the windows?? I have both the in-channel and lo-pro on my list, been looking at others experiences to see which I will go with.
