Your favorite interior upgrades (NOT mods)

What storage nets are you referencing? I have Toyota one that stretches across the bed and attaches to the sliding tie down cleats. I usually have it across front of the bed under the back window.

 

These interior additions has definitely made life better while I'm in my truck.

 

We offer an attic net that goes across the back of the headliner to give space up top, as well as a seat divider net. You can check them out at the link in our signature

 

OP, here's some ideas to start looking at if you want:

-FJ Cruiser flip-down visors, they can install on the rear grab handles
-plastic organizer cubes for glovebox, or center console if you're not putting a safe; Hooke Rd. makes a cheap copy
-cupholder adapter to fit larger bottles like HydroFlask
-MesoCustoms dual lights, footwell LED's, to see things
-different options of RAM ball mounts for GPS, phone, etc.
-floor mats
-seatbelt defeater, say you got a backpack triggering the warning on the passenger seat, etc.
-rear seat headrest grab handles (paracord)

One thing I heard is good and still want to do is get 2 "shemaghs" I believe they're called, to hang between the headrests - purpose is normally they chill there and do nothing, but in the event you have gear in the backseat and want privacy, they can come off and act as a blanket to hide it from prying eyes like a thief scouting cars to break into in parking lots

how'd you mount those overhead MOLLE panels? Are they just velcro'd on? (might fall down from objects secured weight, shaky while driving, etc.) or maybe not

 

Thank you! I'll do that.

 

In order of addition: WeatherTech floor liners, AJT-Design climate control knobs, Hushmat door insulation, Sony MEX-N5300BT AM/FM/CD/BT single DIN stereo with Infinity REF-9633ix speakers on Taco**** solid HDPE spacers, Clazzio leather seat covers (front row) and the Offroam phone holder (solid vent mount for my old nuvi 1350 GPS, too).

 

Love those AC control knobs

 

Yes, just velcro. Been on there for years and never had any issues. Just make sure that the majority of the back side is covered in velcro.

 

I won’t argue that OEMs are as good as Husky or Weathertech, as I would have bought one of those two had mine not already had the OEMs from the factory. But …. I was surprised the OEMs did a darn good job of covering everything including going up the sides, something factory mats have greatly lacked in my past experience.

interior accessories so far … door sill protectors and center console organizer.

On ‘the list’ … cell phone holder, center console cover, glove box organizer, compartment liners (cup holders etc), seat gap fillers, window tint, screenprotech, LED interior lights.

 

Upgraded the radio to a more modern pioneer with Bluetooth and navigation. I was able to find a double din bezel on Amazon that matched the factory silver bezel so the install looks clean. One bad thing about this pioneer model is that all the USB ports are on the back. So attached an extension to the left side of the glovebox to get access for updates and playlists. My 09 had a nub instead of a shark fin for the factory navigation so I replaced it with a shark fin from Amazon and put the pioneer nav antenna inside to get good reception and a clean looking install. I didn't hook the steering wheel controls up correctly so about a year ago I took the truck to a sound shop and they got that all worked out.

I also was able to get a 2015 TRD suspension off of craigslist. Way better than the stock suspension.

 

weathertech wraps up. There’s another company that does too I forget. So that dirt and snow actually stays in the mat to shake out and not spill over onto the carpet

 

Seat gap fillers! I lost my spare key on the original drive home from the dealership. Sure enough it had fallen in the deep chasm next to the seat. This has been on my Father’s Day/Birthday/Christmas list ever since (I have a list of $20-$30 truck items for my poor college kids). My daughter finally picked it off the list!

 

Weather tech liners are definitely the best. Or any liners that keep it looking nice

 

I recently installed the Console Vault https://www.consolevault.com/Toyota-Tacoma-Full-Floor-Center-Console-Safe-2005--2015_p_66.html (half-price sales happen often) one Sunday afternoon since hearing about smash-and-grab vehicle break-ins at fire stations as I'm likely taking care of this SR5 DLT (Dad's Last Truck) since his passing for my paramedic SIL. The Offroam vent mount phone holder is definitely worth the $, as it is sturdy and mounting to the corner of the vent(s) doesn't obstruct air flow or vane travel much. https://getoffroam.com/products/pho...a-gen-2-2005-2011?_pos=2&_fid=ffd7f6641&_ss=c

I got some door sill protectors from eBay Motors after driving the DLT home from MT, and need to reattach them with a better adhesive... a better grade (thinner layer of) rubber cement.

 

Can't go wrong with Weathertech or Husky. My truck came with front Weathertech so I stuck with them for the rear (they had generic tiny rubber baby foot mats in the back). Though I really like the look of the Husky's, and they come in variety of options (flexible vs. hard plastic Weatherbeaters). If I ever have to switch it up, I'd go Husky. Seconded on door sill liners, a must for me. I could see the previous owner kicked the paint a bit, so wanted to protect those too. Clazzio's are on order, jury is still out but everywhere (including TW) seem to sing their praise.

Looks like I found another thing for the wish list.

 

Oem rubber flooring to get rid of the carpet.

 

• Weathertechs, though tbh I would have gone husky but they were a bit more expensive. Husky are supposed to be more “rubbery” whereas the WTs are slightly more “plasticy”.
  
• Anker 323 car charger
• Center console organizer
• Glove box organizer
• Rear bench dog seat cover (4KNines brand, fits like a glove, super high quality).

Not sure why weathertech is hyperlinking, to Amazon nonetheless. I didn’t do that..
