    Very nice work!

    I placed the NAPA compressor in an old ammo can and need to restart the project at some point.

    Do you have a link associated with this item? I looked on the NAPA web site and could not locate anything that looks like this...

    The Napa compressor is out of stock indefinitely. There are other companies selling the same dual piston compressor now.

    I guess i do a decent amount of night driving, my need for the headlights is because mine are toast. The plastic is yellowed on the inside, i've sanded and polished a couple of times, but it looks like the haze is on the other side of the lens now.

    Wow....lots of cool mods here. My 2010 Tacoma was pretty much Spartan when I bought it new. My first mod was a mat for the truck bed. It was like a skating rink before with a lot of sliding around of whatever was being hauled. My second mod was a gift installation for cruise control. My latest mod was about 2 weeks ago when I bought the round control knobs for the AC/ Heater fan/ direction. They look pretty cool at night with the backlighting on. I'm looking at some fog lights, but just looking so far.

    Don't cheap out on lighting. I'd keep an eye on the B/S/T section and get some Diode Dynamics SS3 fogs

    Amazon is running Prime member sales Oct 11th and 12th. May be worth a look. If you are patient then Black Friday is only around 6 to 7 weeks away.

    What have I done to my 2007 DCLB?
    Ordered Eibach Pro Truck Lift, OME Leaf Springs and C4 Overland Bumper and powdercoated a set of FJ Cruiser steelies in cement grey.

    Swapped the lower usb/switch console under the AC to a 2015 version, installed DRL mod. Lastly, added nuts and bolts to the trimmed fenders/flares so the flares don't break on long trips.

    Future mods:
    Order Diode Dynamics lights for the bumper and update the frontend from 2.0 to 2.5.

    How hard was the lower center swap, where did you get the 2015 console?

    I really want to do this. I hate that I have to duck down to see the plugs and buttons on my 2010.

    Oh, and, can anyone give me a recommendation on a rivet-nut tool & kit? There are several on Amazon.
    Thanx in advance.

    Like @fatfurious2 said, medium. Its just like a little time consuming. You have to remove shifter console, AC unit, pull vents around radio out, remove radio and lower pocket by steering wheel etc. It sounds like alot of tearing apart but its probably like 6-8 screws and everything else pops out.

    Also added a Scosche wireless charger and a rear elocker switch for a future mod. :D
