Tail gate insert

I did the chrome letters originally:


But then decided to switch to the patriotic letters:

 

Careful with aftermarket letters. They’ll fade and then it’ll be a hassle removing them without scratching the paint

 

Thanks everyone. Your trucks look great and suggestions noted. Looks like Black it or perhaps not all all. I have to budget out my accessories. In order of priority

1. Truxedo roll up
2. Marathon front seat covers
3. Oem mud guards
4. Oem color Door edge guards
5. Bed lights
6. Bug shield
7. Rain visors
8. Chrome exhaust tip

1-4 will be immediate 5-8 when funds become available.

 

I did very similar what your doing and added OEM Bed lights, mud guards tailgate lock, etc myself to save a few bucks.

I have OEM part numbers and the cheapest place I found them on my first post in my build thread.

Also, OEM mud guards are often for sale in the TW classifieds.

 

Thank you rybern
And nice Taco

 

Non-OEM inserts are fine, just get them from a good source and properly prep your surface before applying them. I went with the TufSkinz inserts, and they are great...easy to install, a bunch of color options, uses 3M automotive adhesive, and are UV resistant (though I still rub them down with 303 protectant from time to time just to be safe).

Now, there's an option!

 

I have reflective black "Tacoma" inserts on my Barcelona Red 2017 Off Road. Got them from a member here, unfortunately forget his name at the moment....

<edit> I got mine from, TW forum member @rrentrop if he's still around
