    I actually have it mounted underneath the tire on the bumper with zip-ties till I have time to get little tabs fabricated for the plate.

    I noticed a lot of people are de-chroming. I am cheap; I used Toyota touch up paint to simulate chrome removal around the ignition switch.

    Great idea, only problem for me is that is exactly where my knee goes. That tray looks to have a sharp edge.

    Came out really nice! Does the weight of the wheel make it sag a little? I know that’s a common problem on Jeeps

    Brought it home 3-16-22
    I added a 3” strip of window tint to the bottom of my 22 windshield, it blocks hood glare, and changed the amount of ambient light that turns on the “auto” headlights. I like the strip of tint, so the first alternative was to alter the point the sensor turns the headlights on. I changed the setting to the least sensitive setting (-2). This setting still had the lights coming on too early, so the next option was to alter the sensor. Part searches had the Tacoma sensor at $90+, while other, newer Toyota models where less than $14, so I took a chance, and purchased one of the cheaper parts. I removed the Tacoma sensor, and compared it to the Camry part. The two parts had a different number of pins, but the tinted dome, the part above the dash, looked to be the same size, and assembly style. I removed the cheap part first, a little prying with a small blade screwdriver, and it popped off, the same for the stock Tacoma part. The cheap dome fit the stock sensor just like the original part did, and it already had less tint than the stock dome. I installed the new hybrid assembly and tried it, improvement, but the lights were still coming on too early. The second idea was to remove some of the tinted dome material. I used a file to make the outside of the dome thinner, then sanded it with fine grit crocus cloth, then buffed it with rubbing compound - this result is seen on the Right of the first photo (stock and cheaper part numbers are also shown). After measuring the modified dome thickness, I realized I could remove material from around the center concave shape. A couple of drill bits, turned by hand, made it easy to remove material in a controlled manner, stopping as soon as the bit touched the center of the dome, then on to a larger bit, and repeat. The second photo shows the concave side of the finished part. This result is working great, I may change the sensor sensitivity, as the lights are coming on after roughly 1/2 of traffic has their headlights on.9B11B580-7358-4515-A67B-8C3E55634A27.jpg937AE4BA-E2B1-4AB8-A985-58B2AD0B61F4.jpg

    Gonna install my Garmin dash cam this weekend. Got a polarized lens cap and the dongle to link to the mirror. Any tips on the install from the knowledgeable?
