    Put my painted emblems back on. Painted them duplicolor (graphite) I changed the tailgate up a little. I think it's pretty cool.

    $$$$$$$ fixes all. I think you will have to buy another one so that you can holesaw the bumper to relocate it

    Thanks! I'm happy with how it looks.

    That is weird. I have an SR5. I've seen a TX with a gray one. Actually, the front valance color was my inspiration to paint my badges this color.

    2008 Access Cab.

    Put in a new shifter light, also did a subtle cup holder mod. The shifter light socket was bad, so I had to solder in a new #74 socket. Was a good learning experience! Picture of the lights at the bottom. For the cup holder, my camera couldn't capture it (iPhone camera), but the cup holder itself is illuminated a nice, soft green. For this, since I had to solder in a #74 socket to fix the shifter light anyhow, I figured why not and soldered a #74 bulb in the middle of the divider. Used the same bulb for both, got from autolumination, it's a tri-LED.

    Also, I soldered in a 2012 climate control panel, which also looks great, but (and if anyone could help me with this, that would be fantastic!) the AC blows hot when it's set to cold and cold when it's set to hot! Very weird :x

    Holy chit, I've done a lot already!!
    I've been meaning to get them for another member and forgot. I will try tomorrow when it's light out. To explain, hole saw bumper out. Remove harness from existing bracket and unplug from truck. Cut off the excess plastic mounting tabs, so the plug is round. Feed it through hole. Inside the flap is room for two small sheet metal screws, one in each upper corner looking at it as it sits in the pic. Then after that, I took a hose clamp with a thin strip of rubber, and secured it from the back. You can also use a little black silicone for extra measure. I've used it quite a bit this summer, and still as solid as the day I installed.
