Heated clazzios are in. OEM rubber floor warming up. Might not get to it today.



The center console cover fits like shit. I think when I have the console out for the floors and the black dyejob I'm gonna have to take it alllll the way apart and put it on with spray adhesive.

 

Found this shit all inside the center console.

LUCKYYYYYYYYY it looks very old and I have had no wires chewed.



Stripped out:


New floors in:


Fits perfect. One little foam block came off it in shipping but I can't figure out where it goes. Didn't see any glue marks and I don't feel any hollow raised spots.

Doing SEM dye on the console pieces now, after scrubbing 15 years of crud out of every seam.

 

Yall see the latest on 2024 tacoma from Toyota? Apparently teaming up with ARB for the trail hunter

 

The 5th gens look like a Chinese F150 /-:

 

2024 trail hunter teasers

 

Looking like that render that popped up a while ago is pretty close

 

Also that bumper picture 100% confirms coil rear suspension, you can see the the panhard bar

 

Well, they've been shit at making leaf springs for a long time so I guess they're trying coils now

 

No they are great at it....

 

Is that a 2nd Gen console? If I didn't know better I'd say it was identical to the console in my 2019.

 

I really hope they keep a halogen light option somewhere in the Tacoma range, because if the numbers are right I could maybe be convinced. But I hate LEDs (unless they make them amber )

I just wish they'd focus efforts and $$$ on stuff that mattered instead of silly accent lights.

 

it may say Trailhunter but to 99% of potential customers it's really Mallcrawler

 

How can you tell......asking for a friend that has absolutely no concept on what they are looking at or the difference in set-ups between leafs and coils....

 

With coils you need a panhard rod for side to side location of the axle.

 

ooooooohh....ok......now my friend sees...

This is a 2007 Sequoia

 

Worst part of the job by far was the center console cover.

When I gut the dash to wire the heated seats I'll probably murder out the remaining grey plastic and vinyl, including doors, floor trim, and pillars.
