tacomajason's build

i am so glad to see a section like this here. i haven't done much to my truck yet.

here she is brand spankin new from the local stealership. i had to order it from the factory, i guess access cab 4x4 6 spds with the oc package are kind of rare around here.








eventually i will put in all the stereo goodies i pulled out of my 07. as for now, all i have done is remove my mud flaps, and installed my scanguageII.
i cant seem to find the pics that i took while installing my scanguage, so i will go take some pics tomorrow.

 

There ya go........now let the mod fun begin

 

Nice dude, looks like they unloaded it strait off the delivery truck in your driveway

 

per my request it wasn't touched besides the mandatory inspection.

 

Whats included in the OC package? Never heard of it.

 

its just toyotas code for the TRD off road package

 

ding ding! plus its WAY easier to type.

 

here's my scanguageII


the installation of this was slightly different on my 09 from my 07. if you have the auto dimming rear view mirror with the camera, it mounts to the windshield differently. there is also a shroud covering the wiring for the electronic tidbits in the mirror. in order for the scanguage to fit on top of the mirror flush, this shroud needs to be removed. it's not held in with any hardware, it just comes un-clipped. i ran my scanguage wire up into the headliner and just tucked it inside parallel with the windshield running left to the a pillar. the a pillar trim and oh snap handle are held in with 2 10mm bolts that run through both the handle and trim peice. remove the bolts, and the hadle will come off, then gently pull out and up on the trim and it will come loose. i then ran the wire down through the gap in the dash exposed by removing the trim peice and plugged it in. the scanguage cord is just long enough to do this. before reinstalling the trim i ziptied everything (not really neccesary, just preference) and re assembled. i took pics of all this, but i cant for the life of me find them.

 

my bed mat

 

Nice dog! I just got my Toyota bed mat today, fits perfect and looks great, well worth the money.

 

what package does the dog come with?

 

i plan on doing a small sub box in my back seat so i removed my rear center console to measure it out (more to come on this later)


in the bottom of the console there are 4 10mm bolts


once these are removed the console should come up. underneath the console there is a nutplate bracket held in place with 2 more 10mm bolts. these were very tight on mine, so besure to use a 6 point socket and keep it centered as not to strip these out.


the finished product

 

yep, i like it because alot of bedmats dont weigh enough to not flap around at freeway speeds. this one must weigh 35 lbs, and it stays put. jed does alot better back there with the added traction.

aftermarket
