    The master cylinders on the 3rd gen Tacomas are all the same regardless of booster style. The only difference is between Auto or Manual Trans.

    laptop is great, except it rains more than it doesn't in fl. having that option in the cabin would make it infinitely more useful.

    I would like to add on to the drivers side handle by suggesting a left hand passenger handle as well. There is nothing to hold on to for my wife except the right side so she always gets thrown to the side or tries to grab me.

    I was picturing a bracket that mounts somewhere behind the stereo or right beside that has like a flat face with holes facing out. That way you could customize what kind of handle you wanted based on common handles for cabinetry, or even homemade wood and leather ones. The user would just have to nut and bolt it on the fabricated bracket.

    Alternatively, you fab the whole thing, but that keeps costs high and customization low.

    I would like a screened window insert for the rears and sliding, so I can lower the windows without letting the bugs in. I've seen a rear insert that has like a rally racing look but it wasn't a screen, just vent holes I think.

    I would love a larger gas tank.

    With a removed spare, I'd like a locking containment below deck for a 20L fuel can or two. Hell, with a bed mat and laying cans on the side, it would be practically invisible.

    I would also like a dog cage blocker thing that uses the front seat rear mounts, along with the front seatbelt mounts, but doesn't hinder the tilting of the seat. So like 'W' shaped almost. Molle panel sized grate would be super :) bonus marks if the center piece is hinged for when I need my highway pets.

    I want a flat panel for the tailgate. The nice ones are super expensive and I'm guessing they have to be? So I was thinking if someone fabbed up a cup holder with a flanged top rim thing, then a guy could cut his own tailgate out of wood or plastic and then just insert the cup holder and countersink the attachment bolts.

    Also, not a fabrication, but I would love to be able to customize the lock beep to any file I could find/create. I think it would be cool if the sound was like a wood block on wood block.

    Perhaps the seat jackers can be produced cheaper?

    I'd like a molle.panel that goes in each corner of the front of the box. It might seem impractical compared to the bedside ones, but it essentially would create two triangle compartments AND two vertical mounting surface for rotos, or fire extinguisher, etc.

    And while I'm a joint deep into this post, I'd really like the slide down barriers for the windshield (like in the Tom Jane The Punisher) at least and then the sides and back too if the roof height allows.

    Also for all the molle panels, I'd like some custom cutouts instead of squares. Maybe some mountain pattern cutouts? Or the boulder cactus theme?


    And really, most of all, I want to turn my wife's AWD 09 Matrix into a rally car. So armour, lift, etc for that too

    Haha well that's pretty sweet! Thanks! My first though was to make one with the piece cutoff from the main large piece. And then with heat, shape it and weld it in place. Stainless steel is easier haha

    These are exactly what is used in the off the shelf tailgate inserts. I’ve considered adding one to mine, but now I keep a little round magnetic nut/bolt holder and it serves a similar purpose.

    Oh man, that's even better. It doesn't have to be too deep, just enough to prevent sliding on a slope. Having the magnet installed is perfect!

    I can help with a few. For the things you wish for cheap, Amazon is already on top of it. Seat jackers for 50 bucks, tailgate panels for 150, molle panels for about half price too.

    Now if that gives you a pit in your gut, like you're taking food away from good business, there's an alternative. Wait for someone to take off their brand name panel and sell it on this site. Just as cheap, no guilty feeling.



    ... And as for oversized cup holders:

    I actually like this better than a cup holder. :cookiemonster:

    I'd like to see a rated recovery point that doesn't break the bank or involve drilling. The bigger dream is a better front bumper that might integrate this.

    Oh, excellent. So the crawl control would still operate normally with a Tundra MC?
