    Thought we could compile some of the links to products seen here...in my mind, I'm thinking specifically the things that get lost in the 11,000 plus pages of the "what have you done" thread, but it could be from any thread, or even things that haven't been brought up yet.

    I'll start with the window switches that were all the rage a few weeks ago...

    https://cartrimhome.com/Door-Switch-For-Toyota-Tacoma-2012-2015?tracking=TacoOutlaw

    BTW, @gozar ...here's the link you asked for.

    This simple 2nd gen trick still applies to the 3rd gen, so we at least (unfortunately) have that in common.

    Yeah, the door illuminated doors switch frenzy came across the Tundra thread a few months ago. It was also something I wanted to change day 1 in my Tundra

    Sort of related, to the intermittent cruise control which I added, but I wanted cruise control in my 2007 DC LWB Prerunner for like 8 years before realizing it was pre wired and needed the cruise control stalk. Was like a 15 minute install.. :facepalm:

    I agree that almost everything I've added qualifies, haha. But one item that sticks in my mind is the bed stiffeners. Tacomaworld influenced me enough to "need" this for my truck with the load I place on the bed sides, especially off-roading.

    Ehhhh maybe skip the blinding bright map lights. I regret those. If they could tone it down maybe 30% that'd be great.
