What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That's what I read. That's why I went wit AJT's as well as color availability. Ya, I wouldn't do the pricier option. I might just use some fine grit sandpaper.

 

They don't jump out at you nor are they sharp, you can just feel where the seam is between the cover and the stock handle beneath. I'm used to it by now and it's less annoying than I thought it would be, but you can feel it on your fingertips.

If you wanted to get really crazy and seamless without purchasing new ones, you could remove them from the truck, dechrome them and repaint/clear them in whatever color you wanted. That would be seamlees.

 

I saw that right after I ordered mine...Of course.

 

I thought about that. I might do it next Spring. Unless it's too hard to remove them.

 

Very easy. After you remove the door panels they just pop out from their mounting positions. Removing the chrome takes a while though. Straight sandpaper is a nightmare so I soak my chrome plastic parts in a bleach bath for a few days (changing the bleach and rinsing them off daily) until it's gone. If your bleach is good they'll foam up real nice each time until the chrome is gone. Then sand with 320 and to a prime/paint/clear over 3 more days and then let my pieces cure at least another day or 2 before reinstalling as the clear I use is still soft until it fully cures. YMMY depending on process though.

 

Please tell me they don’t come in red. Lol.
Those can be fabbed up real easy at any upholstery shop. Just saying. Under 5 bucks and a few hammer swings.

 

Thank you very much! Already ordered them!

 

Going to be a fun weekend.

 

Test it before you run wiring.

have fun!

 

No switch?

 

Breather mod during my lunch

 

Didn't know that was an option

 

Good call

 

It's an additional item you can purchase. Allows you to control them when doors aren't open.

 

Tacoma Puddle Switch Kit – MESO CUSTOMS LLC

 

I’ll pass on the puddle lights. I wear boots mostly anyways. Besides there is no way l’m messing with the A pillar again. I did the grab handle mod what a pain that was.

 

You can tap them into the cargo light wiring (no fade but no biggie). That's what I did in the Tundra. WAY EASIER and on a switch for only $60 for the VLED PODS (Edit) $80 now but I bought them last year when they were $60

 

Last time I had my a-pillar apart. I snapped the bottom bolt on that whore of a handle. Still haven’t gotten it sort again to put a new bolt in and I grab that handle everyday.

 

Installed Bobs homelink mirror, i hate using the little clicker. Still need to go calibrate the compass.

 

Love mineeee. Calibrated itself after like 3 turns.
