    After our first family trip in the Taco it became obvious that we needed more power! Specifically of the 12v kind and in the back seat area in paeticular. To remedy that I ordered this from Amazon.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B077MC3L3B?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title&th=1

    Tonight I installed it into the rear of the console and wired it to the accessories circuit using an add-a-fuse. I didn't want constant power as the kids have a habit of leaving electronics plugged in and powered on when they get out of the vehicles. This should eliminate any battery drain.

    Toolbox. Because you can pack it the way you like, lock it, and keep it watertight. Most of the time, you won't miss the space, but you will miss the supplies and tools if you don't have them.

    Are those the longer flaps or the shorter ones?
    I have the shorter ones and mine didn't come with those brackets. I also recall it being a pain for me to install. I should check if they revised the attachments or something.

    For those of you that got seat spacers from me yesterday, on behalf of myself and that oriental massage parlor we thank you. For those of you that are getting some, here is a couple pics start to finish today. Hopefully this is enough for a few days.

    Okay, I realize that I’ve probably bored some of you to death, but I just finished up my updated see-through air box. Here are some pics after putting all the fasteners on, comparison to the old box and finally installed. I found some blue titanium allen-head water bottle bolts at my local bicycle shop and thought they would look really nice to use. I think they added that added touch. For those wondering why I made this, it’s so that I can see the condition of my K&N element air filter without having to remove it from the air box.

    Thanks, my mods have to also have usage and practicality or I won’t waste my time.

    That's the attachment brackets for the flaps for oversize tires, I have the same ones... The way the bottom attaches though I could never get it to stay on, would drive in some mud and the weight of the mud would pull the screw out of the bottom... Ended up bolting them on the bottom instead

    Found the part number on here for the unit that has both right and left as one piece, the eBay listing I purchased from is dead or I’d get the P/N for you.
