    Stuff with some other black things
    Dental floss to remove and goo gone or WD40 to clean off the residue. But don’t do that, be original. Don’t follow the crowd for everything.

    Had mine tinted to match rear windows. I think it makes a difference with how the truck looks. Also had them install auto start. Beware, you may not like the fact that when you open your door the ignition will cut out. I opted for it because I like getting into my warm car when it's cold out. Bought a cheap tyger tonneau cover. Keeps my soccer dad chairs dry and its really not bad of a cover. OEM bed matt so stuff in the bed aren't rolling around too much. Bought the black decals for Tacoma lettering in the tailgate. Then I replaced interior lights with LEDs. Replaced headlight bulbs for brighter Halogens (H11 +130). Organizer fo center console. There's also a center console cover that's padded for when you lean your arm on it. Then a bought wheels, tires, and a lift kit and I'm still not finished . I should have never joined this forum. Lol good luck man.

    So many questions about those tire skids, but the biggest is: why?

    I had the viper 5906 kit installed, and my truck does not shut off when the door opens. The kill switch is tied to the brake pedal, i.e. if it is depressed before the key is locked into the "ON" position, the engine dies. I have an SR that had just the key.

    Lots of extra powerpoints. I added dual USB 2.4 amp plugs in the front, Dual USB and a cig outlet in back of console for back seat folks and a cig lighter outlet in the bed by the tailgate. Oh yes and the 5 dollar power tailgate lock option. All ideas courtesy of somewhere here on TW. Less than 100 bucks for everything

    I used masking tap on each side to protect the paint then used a scrapper to peel the emblem off. For the goop I used one of those eraser wheels you stick in a drill.

    Do you have a write up on these modifications or an album? I was stalking your post history and couldn't find much

    You know the tether on the gas cap fits right inside clip on the gas door itself, right. It was designed to keep the cap off of your painted surfaces.
    But MESO makes some great stuff if you have money to spare.
    Take a look at his SEMA Build for this year.

    Nitro Gear 5.29's, ARB locker, 3in OME Lift, ARB Leaf Springs, TRD Rims, Nitto Ridge Grapler 285/75/17, TRD skid Plate, CBI Rock Sliders, , ARB Compressor. Total Chaos bed stiffeners. Lots more to come.
    Build post coming soon. Basically what I mean by platform, is I went after lift, sliders, skids, and gears, first (bumpers will fit int here somewhere but not right away.) Still working on that before I start adding a bunch of stuff like Roof Top tents, lights, and building my bed drawer system etc.

    These are the 3 the parts guy at the dealership mentioned and I think their great. Bed mat, new headlight and interior blubs, and Pop 'n' lock keyless tailgate lock (not sure if 19' have this stock)
