    I have the TRD insert (below the shifter) - but I do not have the coin holder in it (mine is just basically a lid)...where did you get the coin insert? Wondering if mine was missing (or I threw it away by mistake).

    I just don't get the coin holder. What's the point? When do you use coins anymore?

    I use them daily - I get coffee (fill my travel cup - .75 cents) and a 2 biscuits every morning - it runs 3.12. I can see the question - my girls (17 and 20) use a debit card for most purchases, while my son (19) and I use cash for most everything.

    Here is one. a bunch of companies ship the same thing. If you're in the US, looks like fast prime delivery. I ordered in Canada and it took the slow boat from China, took a month to arrive. Can't beat it for the price tho.

    No problem at all in multiple vehicles over the past several years.

    I run both off of the auxiliary fuse panel I installed when I did my ham radio and scanner installs.

    This is one of my posts in the thread. The "Clean VHF... Install" thread is one of the most helpful threads on the forum.

    Clean VHF/CB radio installs

    On a different note, does anyone make aftermarket knobs for the non premium OEM Entune radios?

    5 dollar mod and shamelessly stolen from another thread. I added little 1 inch D Rings to the bedsides for securing small items. I got to try it out this morning with a box of miscellaneous dumpster-bound items. Makes it easy to bungee. :D


    upload_2020-12-9_12-40-12.jpg

    Edit: not that anyone will look at these pages anymore, but I got rid of the little D rings and added square Jeep style rings instead. Same function and weight rating, but just slightly cooler looking. :D

    Cosmetic only. Blacked out the chrome, tailgate letter insert, Clazzio seat covers, gear shift knob, LED interior lights.
    +1 to the bed mat. I Plasti-Dipped the chrome emblems, added the raised lettering in the tailgate, and picked up cup holder, console, etc rubber liners. I'm waiting for my gear shift knob to get here so that will probably be the next mod. I'll also replace the radio knobs eventually.

    I like the idea of the power locking tailgate. I'll need to look into that mod.

    Is stealing Taco tailgates a prob? (If it is, it's not where I'm at ..)
    I just thought the first time I went to open the tailgate 'WTF? Why is this LOCKED?' ... Then I thought 'OK... I could see if you had a camper shell or cover on the back .. You might wanna be able to lock the gate...'
    I'd of never of thought it was because people were stealing the actual gate though...
    (Sorry if I sound like I live in 'Naive Land' ... I guess I'm lucky enough to live where I never have to lock the doors and leave the keys in the ignition..)
    This is a Head's Up for me though.. Next time I have to go into The Big City .. I'll make sure my tailgate is locked.

    I got the one that does not have the coin slots, just a little bucket. Great for throwing little things into and some coins.

    Replace the in-cab light-bulbs with LED's. You'll be glad you did.

    Thanks I will have to check that out. I have a few electrical items to install like powered sub, Dash cam and that charger. I don't have a aux fuse panel yet and the amp would be direct to the battery.

    These are the knobs I put on the Radio in my SR5 non premium. I like them but you do give up the illumination which so far don't bother me. https://www.tacomods.com/shop/black-anodized-aluminum-radio-knob-3m47f

    edit: I see you have a 2019 I don't see a knob for the non premium on that model year. Maybe these grip rings would be an option
