Help! Ring fell between dash and windshield. 3rd Gen Tacoma

Mostly from Meso Customs (who is also a member here on TW). I bought one or 2 things from ebay, but they’re still Meso products.

 

Meso has black for trim rings etc. I want all trim pieces to be black, including the grey. I saw it on here somewhere but now I can't find it lol Thanks anyways !

 

I'd come up with the same story too if I lost my ring . Kidding, as others said. If you can see it try and fish it out. If not looks like time to start removing stuff

 

I got black Meso door handle covers, vent rings, all the climate control knobs, 4x4 selector, start button, shifter ring, and cupholder surround (which I chose not to use because my surround was already grey and it matched the seats and a few other things). I got a black steering wheel emblem overlay on ebay, and radio knob covers from Taco Garage. What else were you looking to get besides those parts?

 

Depends on how crazy/pissed the wife would be. If theres still time smash your windshield, retrieve your ring and Honey on the way home this rock flew right thrue the windshield.
If shes not crazy or pissed theres a big piece of foam that runs at the bottom of the windshield, there almost a lip right there and hopefully it's just right there. Maybe try a piece of wire if you can see it.

 

Doubt it

 

I’d leave it for a few days and listen for rattling. It might channel down to the central area, which is relatively easy to disassemble.

 

Every thing that's not black, parts of the dash, door etc. Even the steering wheel controls that have white on them right now. It looks really good, I wish I had grabbed a screen shot. I'll post it if I find it.

 

Yeah, not sure where to replace all those parts. It’ll probably be pretty pricey too! My goal was just to get rid of the chrome only. I’m happy with the result...

 

That does look good ! What a difference getting rid of that little bit of chrome makes. My problem is that I saw one all black lol. I think I saw a price breakdown for around $400 which is quite a bit. Maybe I can find it for Less or just do it like you did.

 

probably not in Oregon.

 

This is what I’d do….

 

What?! You mean I can marry Sandy? What will my wife say when I start spending all my time and money on my taco instead of her? Oh, never mind, I already do!

 

Depending upon what your ring is made of, use a magnetic pickup tool would be my thought

 

Did you happen to lose any weight as your fingers would shrink and there goes the ring lol. it happened to me but found it and had it resized. Shit happens.

 

Nice thought but I'd bet the wife can tell. Rings to women are like trucks to men. You could pick out yours from a crowd of the same color from across the parking lot.
