    I'm not really feeling the dash mat. It looks like you literally cut up a piece of carpet and laid it down.

    I was gonna take it out when I bought the truck. Then I figured it won't hurt anything so there it sits. I agree that they're not very good looking.

    they wouldn't look so bad if they were a one-piece, hard shell that fit like a glove... like fiberglass or plastic... and if rubberized would almost look oem... giving me an idea for a new mod! oh my god, did he say new mod! where!

Waag center brush/grill guard. Hose clamp tailgate mod. Turned off the seat belt chime. Added Ultra-Gauge. Trailer hitch. Softopper. Replaced sun visors with slide out style. Toyota bed extender.

Now looking for Radio/HU upgrade. and maybe a lift way down the road.

    I remember infomercials many years ago, 30 +/- years that claimed the mat was to keep the dash from drying out and cracking and also helped to keep the inside cooler using a lighter color vs the dark dash if the car had one.
    These days the windows are better at deflecting the UV and AUV ? and the other V's that the mat is probably just pointless.

    Guess some like it some don't. I like the one my dad had for his first gen. Guess cause it wasn't so big. Don't know the reason my pops got it. But I believe its for heat. My tacos dash gets pretty hot, feels like it warped sometimes(at work there is no shade to park it). I use armor-all for it a lot. Maybe some people don't want to always lather it up with armor-all.

    I live in a desert envirment and the mat helps keep the dash cooler. It's just laying there...not secured. I take it off when the temperature gets below 90.
