    My First Tacoma (and first Toyota)
    2003 SR5 PreRunner
    2.7l auto
    88,500 miles

    I spent the better part of 8 hours today cleaning the interior. Pulled the seats, center console and went to town. Lots of simple green, elbow grease and detail work. Cleaned each bolt, cleaned every old stain etc. came out pretty good.
    Need to do a few other things to make it perfect. Ordering drivers seat cushion protector. It was the only broken thing I found on the interior. Looks like I can still get factory part, so I’ll go that route.
    Looking forward to learning a ton here. Thanks in advance for all the help!

    @mechanicjon - Thank you for developing this! And for the youtube videos. I've ordered my replacement plastic cover from Toyota and just placed my order for your support bracket via eBay. Installation looks very straight forward! Thank you for the time and effort for both the development of the bracket and the video for installation. Much appreciated!
