Given how easily my phone starts yelling about temperature issues while mounted on the dash, I can't imagine that big tablet being able to make it through a Texas summer.

 

My phone has issues on the dash too but I mostly attribute them to wireless charging combined with the sun. You could divert some ac inside the dash, lol.

 

Absolutely. I have the magnetic mount that fits between the bezel and dash and it's positioned in front of the driver's right vent with it angled up at the back of the phone. It helps, until temps get to 105+ and I'm driving for more than 30 minutes. And in those conditions, if I need to plug in a charger, I typically remove the phone from the dash and put it where the wireless charger is (although I can't use that with my phone).

 

Just a bit too large

 

No such thing!

 

Plastidipped the little Toyota logo on the wheel centercaps. Subtle, but I like it. Probably just end up painting them if the PD peels.

 

Thanks! A paid off Truck is the best Truck!

Nope No V6 no deal

 

Now your Taco looks like it has a Tesla dash. cool but not for me.

 

Agreed. Just like the 4th Gen which immediately turned me off from the new Taco. They have forgotten it is a truck.

 

The thing is I work in technology so I love it. There just is a line that has to be drawn. For me it's when they do away with simple controls for things that a knob or a switch would be great and put it on all a screen. Keep It Simple Stupid you know?

 

I removed the ridiculous spare tire theft deterrent... more like a spare tire use deterrent.

I also finished undercoating it with oils and waxes and grease.

 

No, I didn’t see any lint, wood, bits of old newspaper, etc. so I thought I would wait on that. Although, I guess I could have.

 

What is that?

 

The spare tire theft deterrent is like a wheel lock in a cone that is just stuffed into the keyway of the spare tire lowering thingy. It doesn't stay engaged very well. No instructions included w/the truck... generally useless.

There is a loop on the tire picker upper part where you could put a padlock.

 

I thought it was a padlock in that tire-picker, but the loop is so small that you would need a titanium padlock, and then the thief would just cut the tab with the padlock.

 

Her old ticker failed so I gave her a heart transplant.

Out with the old



In with the new
