    Hey Everyone,

    Bought my 2015 about 1 month ago with the plan that I would do something similar to it like I did to my 2013 Rubicon Unlimited that I sold to do the switch.

    Loved my Rubicon and definitely going to miss the locking diff's and sway bar disco however I need a truck for a year.
    I did up two Jeeps a 2012 + 2013 and sold both coming out great after the mods.
    I will include a picture of the Jeep before I sold her for some reference.



    So here is where we start.

    2015 White Tacoma TRD Sport Double Cab Long Box
    Leather
    Navigation

    For anyone in my region I am on Vancouver Island, BC so if you have questions about parts in the region and Canada I am sure I could be helpful as it is always more difficult up here.

    Most of the work will be done by Peden 4 Wheel Drive in both Victoria, and Surrey.

    I will update below as they are completed.

    What do I want to do:

    Outside:


    Inside:
    "Always on" power point and USB relocation to console.

    Well, I got tired of not being about to leave my phone to charge in the truck, or my GoPro or other devices. It needed an always on power point.
    Such a strange thing not to have.

    Also having the USB in the dash where if you have a 160GB ipod you want to be alwasy connected it will be out in the front where someone might break in and steal it.
    We have a issue in the area of one of our bars where its dark and likely something like this would happen. Or maybe a parking garage.

    So the USB was added and extended along with the AUX 1/8 jack while keeping the stock unit in the dash for visitors to the truck

    Went to a local shop as I don't have the time these day and it was a quick install for them.

    You can always get ai lockers! But it sounds like you would have liked a trail edition 4Runner better.

    I am only going to have this vehicle for a year or so. We might do an e-locker for the project.

    From what I understood and granted I didn't put a bunch of time into it....... that you can't get the color combos and options for the trail edition vehicles or the off-road versions that spec'd the E-locker.

    We will see where I end up.
