    Basic stuff: Truck bed cover, locking tailgate handle, bug and rain deflectors on hood and all 4 window, heavy duty seat covers and husky floor mats. Also swapping out the stereo unit and speakers and adding a sub with a 4 channel and mono channel amps.
    Hey everyone! Im hoping someone on her might have an idea that'll help me. When I was installing installing a new stereo into my taco i accidentally f'ed up; the threaded bolt hole on the driver side and in front is jacked up and the bolt just falls out. As a result, the screen on my head unit looks crooked. Honestly, it doesn't bother me that much but I just want it to look clean on the inside, I know. Any suggestions you've got are appric

    The bolt hole is an M6x1.0 if you want to try and re-tap it. However if the bolt just slides through, you may need to drill and tap for a bigger size. Next size up is gonna be M8-1.25. You could also try a longer M6 bolt and somehow getting a nut on the back. I imagine that would be easier if its the top bolt, and not the bottom one thats tucked in a ways.

    I usually get my best ideas when I’m on her but I’m drawing a blank on this one. I’ll try again after she wakes up.
