    This is the best Tacoma world mod ever. Just perfect. Makes me wish I had a fob to hang.

    I obtained one of those. I like it!
    Not that I had a problem with items falling out of the cubby in normal operations, but I imagine they could on rough track. The drawer eliminates any possibility of that now.

    Next you need to make hats, helmets, and hair for your knob.

    Love this. Can you link the piece you put over the boot that says "TRD on it?" I couldn't seem to find it

    not exactly proud of this, but this has annoyed me for almost 5 years.
    posting in case it annoys someone else.

    most of the dash control knobs have several gray indicators (for style) and only one is the real one.
    at night, no problem - the real one lights up, but during the day, in the relatively dark nether regions of the dash, it is hard to tell the position
    of the real indicator.
    So, i took a permanent black marker and colored in the meaningless ones.
    Since the plastic is glossy, a simple pencil eraser, with some rubbing, easily fixes any accidental mismarking.
    From the driver and passenger seats, it is now easy to see the position of the true indicator at a glance.

    note: this just snaps over the old chrome piece, and since it doesn’t have the knob to keep the boot taught (which honestly isn’t even a big deal for me) it kinda allows the boot to ‘float’ per-say, kinda like a spring

    I have a set of black climate rings that won’t fit my dual zone you can have for just the shipping cost. DM me if you’d like them, although sounds like you’ve already got it sorted

    thanks for the offer but i think i am good.
    the last time i used truck was a couple days ago. it was cold and rainy and had i defroster on to keep windshield clear.
    today was bright sun and 70's and had to adjust controls.
    could not see the indicators clearly and i'd had it. in the past, i have flipped on the lights in the garage to see them.
    shouldn't have to do that. really a dumb design. looks like this will work.
