Installed Auxbeam F16 LEDs last night. The H11 bulbs fit fine in the low, hi, and fog light assemblies. First pic has driver side done, passenger side stock. Second pic is when I finished. So far they seem to be performing well.

Not today, but over the last several weeks I completed some items I had laying around

A/C Drain mod & Rear Diff Vent mod (not pictured)

$41 GP BackGrip PRO, Headrest Car Passenger Hand Grip for Truck & Car Wrangler JL JT JK Handle for Offroad, Kids & Seniors, Patented Jeep Accessories, Aluminum, Firecracker Red, Pack of 2

Grab Handles for the folks getting in the back

Thanks @crashnburn80 for the Reverse Light recommendation. Huge improvement and I bent the pins in the socket for a tight fit

My first @MESO purchase to finish off the exterior chrome delete (before & after)

Some DIY Raptor lights. Tried tapping into DRLs, but they only came on with parking lights or headlights. Was hoping it worked with DRL setting, but ultimately ended up doing add a fuse on INJ fuse.

Thanks @bshammer0 for the post on the Kicker speaker upgrade. I did the tweeters and all 4 doors, plus some 50mil Kilmat. Big improvement on sound quality, can hear the individual instruments better. Ultimately will add an AMP to increase overall volume but the "roommate" and I are very happy with the results.

Went back to the Meso well to start the Interior Chrome delete

And finally the Taco Sauce Only mod, which I believe gets you an additional 5hp at least.

Also got out to a local OHV park and had some fun after some local downpours, and then of course had to clean her up

Just got a shipping notice that my crutchfield order containing the kicker door speakers will be delivered today. My Subaru tweeters will be here Friday. I reserved a spot in my brothers paint shop for Saturday and he is an ace at door panels so looking forward to Saturday.

So this 2nd gen front rail, at $30, will it the front of the 3rd gen bed??? Is it the same size, with the bolt holes and everything?

Did on my 2016 OR/DC

P.S. Remember the end caps don't come with the rail.

sunglass holder? I need one. I never use the BT and wireless charging feature. I prefer my phone on a leash.

The charging dock has 5 pairs of scratched sun glasses - I’d like a spot to put my good pair

Installed the AL offroad trailgate. Pretty good rough texturing on it. Now I just need some beers for the cup holders...

Don't forget to consider insulating the doors and door panels while you are swapping out the speakers. You gain improved base response and reduced road noise by doing this.

What did I do today? Bought my Gen 3. Actually that was yesterday. Drove from the dealer to a fellow who was about to turn in his leased SR5 and was selling the canopy. (Found that on Friday night, 3 hours after posting. Pays to be the first to call.) Today, I started loading 'er up.

Looks like this might not be your first truck! Nice.

Here is my first Tacoma. A 2021 TRD OR. She has 3 miles on her in these pictures at the dealership.

First mod was adding the center console organizer set from Amazon.

Then I installed Seatjackers from @EasyDoesIt along with the bracketeer fire extinguisher seat mount seen with a Halotron extinguisher mounted.

Next was the tailgate lock from sabellco.

Here i installed the 3TPAM and Rago Fabrication molle panels and bridge.

I also put in the @MESO customs Chrome delete kit and an AJT blackout emblem for the steering wheel. I got the vent rings on the way to replace the chrome ones.

Gotta have the auto lift hood struts from recline tuning. Gonna be honest, I did not like drilling into a truck I got 24hrs ago. But it turned out awesome.

Lastly, I put on some molle seat backersfrom Amazon and the dog cover for the backseat.

This was all done in 2 days over this weekend. I'm waiting on some more parts to arrive before I can start working on the electrical portion of my build.

Thanks for all the inspiration and tips guys. Good to be here!

I'm sure some gravel or wood chips will fill those cup holders nicely!

Nice product but the cost of $85 shipping to me in Ontario negates that purchase.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Very pleased with the results

Decided I was tired of the jump seats in the access cab and wanted some more space for camping gear and/or dogs. Just removed everything, added some sound deadener and ripped some plywood with my father to replace everything. Bolted it down to existing factory spots, so far I've mounted my fire extinguisher to it.
