    My husband (who's login I'm posting under so I hope he doesn't check this that regularly) is in love with his '09 access cab manual 4cyl tacoma. Not sure if those details are important... He already installed the back up camera and the mirror and he had a ton of fun doing it. Does anyone have any suggestions for something I could get him as the next step in personalizing his truck? I was thinking about the windshield wiper switch but was hoping for something more fun? Anything cool to do to the bed? Was thinking about some tool mounts... Would love some suggestions. ***Also not sure if I chose the right forum so if not please let me know which to post this in. Thank you! Price range 150-200, is that enough? I don't even know what he spends on this stuff...

    Bed lighting was one of my favorites to do
    5m of 5050 waterproof led strips and a switch is cheap and easy to do but there are bedlighting "kits" on here but cost quite a bit More..

    New shift knob, there is a guy on TW that has some cool ones. I wish I could remember the name, there was just a group buy on them. Hope some one chimes in.

    A reasonably priced gift would be the variable wiper switch, cruise control switch, or a fog light kit (if hes lucky, its all prewired and he just has to install the lights and switches). These are all priced pretty close to each other, unless if you want to buy him the OEM fog light kit.

    AJT design makes the shift knobs. Would make a great gift for around $100. IMG_20160516_132218727.jpg

    Pick something that doesn't weigh a lot. Shipping to Alaska is a killer.

    There are much cheaper prices on EBay for basically the same kit. If you check where the foglights would go, if it's prewired a wire would go to the fog light housing.

    See here for more info.
