    Installed my extended brake lines from @TSmoove today, pedal actually feels a little bit firmer now.

    Finished removing the plastidip on the camper shell windows from previous owner, mirror privacy tint should be in tomorrow.

    The windows on the shell are stained, so the mirror won’t be as “mirror”, it’ll look just dark which is nice

    Added puddle lights to my 2015 Sport. Night mode on my phone makes them look really blue, it’s just a crisp white. They only come on with the dome light when it’s on the “door” position. They also fade like the dome light.

    Living between two countries Thailand and USA/ Los Angeles. Its been hard to justify spending money on my Stock 2013 Tacoma that I seldom drive (26.000 miles on it) here in Los Angeles.
    Well, Got bored with it and bought new wheels/tires and a bed cover, pop lock this week and I am looking for a cool looking roof rack to set it off.
    Anyone here in So Cal Have something for sale?

    Those are by far the best wheels for this color truck. If my PM had lower miles I would have those wheels. In late 2015 I tried my best to find your exact truck new in an access cab with zero luck. I then waited for and bought the new 2016 Sport access cab. After 5.5 years, and 25k miles, I sold the 16 and bought a used 12 PM access cab, with alot more miles on it, so it is now just a budget build. No regrets but I sure wish I could have found a truck like yours new. I just waited to late to start searching. You have an awesome looking rig. 2nd gen is the best gen (to date).

    Ran the positive to the battery with an inline fuse, then opened up the wire loom in the A pillar and found the blue wire. Tapped the negative into that blue wire since that is a switched ground that only comes on with the doors open or when you unlock the truck. The lights don’t come on when the dome light is in the ON position and only on the door position. Perfect for courtesy lights.

    Brilliant. I have a few boxes of those LEDs. I originally wanted to put them under the door panel but considering how well yours turned out, I think I might do the mirrors instead lol. What size fuse did you use? All the fuse inlines I have run blade types.

    This mod has been on the back burner for a while but now I might tackle it next week seeing yours :D. Great job by the way.

    After $1600 in bent wheels and ripped tire beads I finally have my wheels and tires worked out. 17x8.5 Method MR312 with a set of Kenda Klever 33/10.5r17 with a matching spare.

    No I bought molded from stock interiors. They leave waaaaay too much on the sides and front and back. Im just too crazy about things like this to not of have bought oem. It turned out great but all I see is the flaws
