    I bought the same ones! Just one though, was a bit skeptical because they are so cheap, but they are just like he other pair I bought for 3x the price. Gonna use it as a bed light. May just buy more, can't beat $10!

    Added my @Pelfreybilt rear standard bumper, and Ez down strut for the tail gate. Didn't get to wire the reverse lights or the hood struts today, but I'm pretty excited :)

    Which EZ Down did you use?

    There seem to be several brands selling under that name and not all are listed for my 2015 Taco.

    I've got the Relentless tailgate mod so an EZ Down would be nice!

    I went with this one, however it is listed only till 2011, not sure if it would work on your 15.

    What size hose did you use? Do you have the part #'s for the union and breather? You might want to consider putting something around the end of the hose coming into the cubby, so it doesn't get pulled through. Clean install!

    I think the hose was 3/8"? Will have to double check my receipts. The Breather Mod For Dummies sticky is where I got the idea. I think he used 1/4" hose. The house I bought is double lined and very thick. The 1/4" was too narrow inside diameter for the nipple so I sized up.

    The hose is clamped behind the cubby. That way only the breather nozzle sticks through. Removing the cubby is simply a matter of removing six torx screws. Then I dropped a hole, stuck the breather nipple through, slid the hose on the other side and used a hose clamp to secure.

    Here are the Toyota parts I used:

    Thanks! Its actually OEM from Toyota. It will take about 2.5-3 hrs start to finish, but it took me about 5 hrs total because I armor-all'd the ENTIRE truck inside (allthe plastic cubbies, front and back, vacuumed the carpet before, vacuumed the bare metal bc there was 5 yrs offroading dust trapped, wiped the majority of metal from dust also, then laid the liner in, vacuumed it, set all the pieces back in, vacuumed again and called it day. Thats WAY too much to do normally, but I figured it would be a good 5 year complete detail job since I know I WONT EVER do that again haha...I also put my weathertech floor mats back in, over top of the liner also, too much protection cant be bad thing...right? :thumbsup:

    Nice!

    Only one tip... Ditch the ArmorAll. Use a safer product like 303 Protectant.

    Armor All = Bad for Synthetics
