    Neither, the console cover looks ghetto IMO and didn't want clean kit.
    I prefer free shipping which is what I got. :D

    Yeah, we used to hang it out the back of the wife's Tahoe but I decided to throw it on my truck this year. Been doing it for years the month of October, get quite a few double-takes, and a few ppl freaking out a little.

    There's a great tailgate decal that makes it look like you have someone bound up in the bed with no tailgate...

    LED conversion on every accessible bulb, TRD exhaust (dealership threw in for free along with the Blu-Logic).
    I wish my Tacoma came with this accessory.

    Oh washed and waxed her too. Nothing beats the feel of smooth paint, except for large breasts in your hands.

    I got her dirty already, Taco, not the boobs.

    I used a Dremel tool to add hash marks so the oil would stick to the metal some.

    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.
    cuttoff tool :rolleyes:

    i did this to my old corolla, and i used the flappy disk i believe 120 grit on my drill. It worked but i also am interested for the tacoma.

    Would you have a picture of the finished product?

    Black Sand Pearl factory paint - flattened "au natural" by tree branches.
    I had some trouble with this too but only after using an oil extractor through the dipstick hole to change the oil.

    I found shoving the dipstick in and pulling it out quick gave me an accurate reading. Going slow the dipstick was just covered in oil from one end to the other.
