    It's pretty easy. I might suggest taking the wheels off to get the entire inside. The bag they give you kinda blocked some of the spray in certain spots. You have to look for it though.

    New Z-Percision cup holder. Also took out the chrome trim around the other cup/coin holder to blackout while I had it apart.

    I’ll never understand why the access cab doesn’t get a cargo light. I added Matt Gecko LEDs which are awesome though.

    DAMN! Is that RUST? If so, that's the worst I have seen on a 3rd Gen... I thought it may be some type of coating that was sprayed on. But if so, why would you choose rust for the color? Lol...

    We may not get the cargo light but at least the one we get is fastened from the outside and does not leak. Big fail on Toyota engineers for that one.

    Oh there will be some mods all right
    It does indeed look like rust in the picture but it actually is a dirt and road grime layer on top of a rust prevention coating. I'm not sure whether the previous owner put on fluid film or something else but I can scrape off the "rust" with my fingernail and it's black paint underneath.

    I noticed mine only goes in a certain way.
    But didn’t see any wear.

    The SR access cab is what many companies use as fleet trucks. You would think a promoted "work truck" would at least have a bed light. You certainly would think the higher priced Sport and Off Road access cabs would have them. Toyota manufacturing probably saves $2 per truck not adding it. At least they spent the $2 savings on the 1974 era Rambler high end stereo speakers. Speakers used today are identical to the ones they used in my 2008 Taco. Oh what a feeling !!!

    Any wear is going to be on the inside of the tube so it won't be readily obvious.

    Good to know, but I'm not ready to cut anything. At least not until it gets its first scratches.
