    Or better yet, I'll post my color guide in here for everyone to see. The oak, gray and charcoal-gray colors for the Tacoma interior are very similar and I've noticed that it will fade over time if the truck was stored out doors and doesn't have tinted windows. I have a color guide that I'll send over for when folks have questions about the colors. As you can see my the color guide the gray cover is shaped slightly different than the other colors and the photo is cropped. This is because I had to use a Tundra/Sequioa cover as it is much darker in gray and makes a much obvious color difference when looking at it on a screen. Compare this to the other pictures I have attached where there is barely a difference.

    The gray and charcoal-gray covers are unicorns to find but I just so happen to have all three and hand right now so hopefully we can get to the bottom of this.

    Edit: I've no idea why TW rotated the pic, the original is not rotated. Anyway . . .

    I think we have a winner. It's not **perfect** but close enough to calm my obsessiveness LOL

    This is actually a gray out of a 2002 4runner. For anyone else looking, if you clip off the tabs as shown it fits perfectly in a gen 1 Taco. Done and done.

    Thank you but good luck finding them LOL!

    Same year only 2 wheel drive and that sucker wants to fall off whenever I try to snap it back on. It’s still half falling off but holding OK, tho not flush.

    @Caslon Yeah the one I originally had did that, try putting it in upside down. The 4 runner one snaps in tight.

    I now have two brown ones LOL PM me, I'll get you my mailing address, and next person to PM gets the other. The way it will work is send me a prepaid padded envelope and I'll drop it in the mail.
