Which ones did you go with?

What LED Strip is that? Does it just tap into the brakes?

 

Also made some bed rail nuts today to mount a few things. Basically imitated the nuts used on my tanneu cover.

2 will be hold eyebolts to hang a “trasharoo” style garbage bag for when I’m on the trail so I have a good place to store my trash and also clean up after other losers who litter.

Also finished up a custom mounting system to mount an awning to my wife’s roof rack on her FJ.

 

They sure are.

 

EBay. Like 15 bucks for two. They work great.

 

Pictures of the eyebolts and bag when done! Sounds cool and thanks for cleaning up after aholes. Be sure to throw it on their front lawn when your done.

 

They sure look like they would work just fine.

May have to keep my eye out for a wrecked RAV4 in the local salvage yards.

 

Need? Dunno'. If you want to try it, save yourself some money and just do the driver's side. Can't really see the small inset on the passenger's side from the driver's seat (at least I wouldn't be able to). You can always do the passenger side later if you think it would help.

Very happy with them, great quality and they look awesome. Their directions have you tap into the headlight fuse with the add-a-fuse, but I'd like them to be on all the time, so I'm probably going to tap into the parking lights.

 

It sure did!

 

Since I don’t have a truck payment till 4/15, I’m trying to decide what to buy for my truck next.....

 

Wow. Didn't know so many people had the downshift clunk like me. Hate that this happen's but make me feel a little better I'm not the only one. Still gonna have them check it out at next service not that they can or will do anything about it.

 

Got both of my leaf packs from All Dog Off-road. If you have never checked those dudes out I highly recommend it. They are a small co-op and have some of the best customer service I have experienced in the industry. They also gave me a killer deal on the Icon RXT leaf pack.

Today, I broke them down to swap out leaf for option 2 and decided to repaint to help mitigate/delay rusting.

 

Replaced the map and dome lights with LEDs. Really easy and affordable. Didn't realize how dim the stock bulbs were until I put seat covers and floor liners in.

Tip: If you want to replace your map lights, it's easier to remove the whole top console. A how-to video said to take the lens covers off, and pull the bulbs out with your fingers. Was not happening for me.

If you get your fingers between the headliner and the console, it pops right out. Do the front, repeat for the back, and it'll come off. An electrical connector will keep it from falling, so it'll hang when you remove it. Then just unscrew each bulb holder, pull out, replace the bulbs, screw back in, and pop the console back in place.

I'd also recommend disconnecting the negative terminal on your battery before doing this, to be safe.

How to video I referenced (includes how to replace dome light): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOy5LlwEPd0

Map Light LEDs: https://www.diodedynamics.com/map-light-leds-for-2005-2019-toyota-tacoma-pair.html (I got cool white, HP3)

Dome Light LED: https://www.diodedynamics.com/dome-light-led-for-2016-2017-toyota-tacoma.html (I got cool white, HP6)

There are probably cheaper options. I saw other TW members bought these and wanted to be safe.

 

Same company I used and I also popped the top console to install the map lights. So much easier to do it this way. I have been very happy with mine.

 

I only went with the driver side for that reason.

 

Finally pulled the trigger on one of these, $100.00 on Amazon.
