    Hated the chrome bumper caps so I took them off sanded and sprayed with bedliner. Came out super nice and has a great texture.

    Altimeter is great, but how do you make standard rate turns?

    rotated tires changed oil threw out the old air freshener.
    A turn and bank indicator could be useful. Or just fly by the seat of your pants.

    Don't know exactly what a 'mod' consists of, but this is about the only extra doo-dad - a hitch cover - I've put on my '21 Tacoma.
    Won't mean much to most folks but a couple of you on here might recognize it.
    It's one of many things I did in my past life as a professional camper for 30 years with my favorite Uncle...Sam ;)

    I just got a wireless Android Auto adapter that has no business working as well as it does for $40 on sale. Now I can fast charge my phone while driving.

    Edit: I should note, I have an aftermarket Jensen head unit, not sure how well it works with factory installed Android Auto but I'd say it's worth a shot if you have a use case. I planned to test and return quickly if it didn't work well.

    Nice! Haven't seen these before. It's too bad they don't snap on so you can access the bolts if needed, but I doubt I'd need to get down there very often.

    Sweet. I just ordered, should be here on Saturday. I’ve been looking for one of these that works. Can’t use my usb port on my phone due to water damage. I’ll post an update on quality.

    Cheap and effective. I put together a little under hood lighting kit for myself, used a LED light kit with a water resistant domed top button switch I wired together so I can turn the lights on/off any time I want directly from under the hood. Used one of the open mount points behind the passenger headlight to mount the button on.

    For anyone interested links below. $25-30 to get it done.
