Better hurry or it would be sold out fast.

Edit: If you prefer OEM like handles, then you should take the handles out and paint them then put them back on. I know lot of work but if you want "OEM" route.

If I want to sell my truck, I can take them off and place them on new truck if the design stays the same. If not, I can sell handles on here.

 

made the skid plate match the rest of the truck a little better

 

I may do USB-C, since ultimately this will plug a phone into an HDMI convertor with power passthrough. Was just going with USB for starters since the hole is already rectangular, and the desire is for people to be able to plug in lightning or USB-C cables to stream video. If I cannot find a proper USB-A port that is 3.1 and can handle a video signal, then I will change my plans to 100% USB-C without trying to emulate OEM.

This was the original setup I tried, but none of these USB-A male to USB-C female adapters are USB 3.1 rated for video signal so it wasn't as simple as I'd hoped:



Which would then plug into this (which works as shown without any other connections prior to the USB-C):



Now I have purchased these, and hope I can daisy chain together some franken adapter:

 

TRD Pro Rims

 

Red looks good

 

Went for a drive through the redwoods in Big Sur yesterday.....

 

Bucket list for sure!!!

 

Perhaps using a hot knife would have worked better to carve out the slot for the USB?

 

It might've resulted in a cleaner gouge for sure. I have a little shitty soldering iron type thing that can take shaped attachments (I think for wood burning?) and considered going that route... but due to my relative inexperience with heating plastics to shape/cut them I opted for the Dremmel which has... alright results. If you have a link to a hot knife that's half decent I would pick it up and try this again in the future (for that 100% super nice OEM non-half-assed look.)

 

This is what I use. You should be able to find this at any big hardware store.

I'm a bit late to the reply, but as others have stated, it is indeed a TRDOR DCLB, which is a standard option where I live.

 

Ignant question... How can someone go about doing/getting an OVTune? I hear all about it, but too stoopid to find it..
Asking for a friend.

 

They find someone who does the tunes and then they pay them to do it

 

Someone in the Massachusetts/ New England area...
@RivetNutBob, where you at, dog?!?

 

Not so much done to, but done in.

Today I Installed the Rav4 radio knobs

And put on the black Meso handle covers

Waiting for my aluminum cbi t3 front bumper to arrive. Estimated ship date is the third. Fingers crossed that it actually ships out on time!

 

Wish he'd stick his head in the door and say he's OK.

 

I'm curious about the cost and potential benefits. Of course is there someone that does it near pennsylvania or northern Maryland?
