08/25/22 - Traded the 2016 Ford Explorer Sport for a 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road in Midnight Black Metallic. Completed the transaction late in the evening, so...


08/26/22 - First pics at not-really-first light. Beagle approved (2nd Pic).

 

Sep 22 - Added OEM bed mat & exterior emblem overlays

 

OEM Bed LED Lighting

 

The Bakflip MX4 & Steering Wheel Emblem Overlay

 

Added some school spirit...

 

Blackout/Chrome Delete w/ Meso Customs Interior Kit / Vent Rings / Climate Control Rings & Tacomods Stereo Knobs

 

Where did you get those overlays, and how do they stick on? I like those! Nice looking truck!

 

Meso Customs v5 Switchback Mirror Signals - Not DRL Connected (yet)...

 

OEM TRD Pro Tail Lights w/ Meso Customs Total Tail Stage 1

 

Thanks!. Got them off of Amazon - "Auto Safety" brand. 3M tape/adhesive backing the overlay.

 

Playing with Lighting. Meso Custom v2 Dual Color Ultimate Dome / Diode Dynamics Cool White 6000k (and Red) / VLEDS Footwell (Front & Rear) Aqua. Also tried red but I like the Aqua as it matches the dash lighting.

 

Taco Garage Dash Single Mount / Ram Medium Arm / Quad Lock 1" Ball Mount. I had the Proclip Mount and liked it (you can see it above in the lighting pics), but found it just too much in the way.

 

The Grille (OEM Heritage/Pro | Lift Kit Version)

 

Wired up the DRL functionality of the Meso V5 mirror switchbacks.

 

Removed the visor stickers. From forum ideas, used heat gun and needle nose pliers to carefully+slowly pull off decal (yes, left the pouch). Very light remnants - used a small drop of dish soap and scrubbed area. Sprayed with Goo Gone and let it sit. Used heat gun (on high very carefully) to 'steam' the Goo Gone, scrub with toothbrush, and wipe with microfiber cloth - you may need additional passes. Passenger side (final pic) still has slight remnants. May sound like a lot in writing, but not really if this is something for you. Go slow and very carefully with the heat...

 

Well done!

 

Added the MESO Customs Dual Color maps (already had the dome)…

 

Looks good and can't wait to see the tires. What did you use for the floor lighting or is that standard on the newer trucks?

 

Thanks! They are the VLEDS footwell lighting. I did both the front and the rear.
