Cheap/Free Mods

Doubles as a "piss-bottle" in an emergency too.

 

Yep, sufficient diameter opening.

 

I bought this, it says for Prius. Preus must have the same Entune with a CD player as the 2014 Tacoma. It is cheap, easy and it works at almost all sun angles. It is not perfect but for the Entune probably nothing would be, screen is fixed not adjustable. I bought a second for my daughter's 2016 Rav4, it also fits her car.

Nice, I made my own. Will look into this upgrade for sure.

 

how did you make yours??

 

I bought the closest thing to vinyl I could find. Layout a pattern, cut and glued pieces together. Only thing material is not ridged enough, so I put a retaining clip around perimeter. Works, was my first and only mock up. I like the clips and material you shared.

Day 2 and I’ve done it like
That twice — only been to pump twice.

 

Does the DRL (turn signal) still function as a turn signal? or are there no longer turn signals in front?

 

Done today. So simple.

 

Looking at doing this fog light anytime mod.. Couple questions: Anyone had issues with it? Does anyone know what the light green wire is for that we are splicing into? Just curious.. Thanks!

I think I may have gone with larger fender washers of 1 1/4" dia, since the 1' ones didn't have much bite. I used a smaller washer since the hole was larger on the larger fender washer. Theses are also nice for locking stuff down with a cable lock. If you thread the cable tight enough, the eyebolts can't be turned out and removed.

 

This is why I used Unistrut when I made my tiedown system. I can find a way to bolt pretty much anything directly into the bed of the truck, if need be.

 

What is it?

 

Anytime Fog Light Mod

 

Very clean work. I don't know why I keep putting this off
What did you use as a reference? The any time fog light thread?

 

Are the stock lamps actually rated to run all of the time?

 

Thanks and yes, anytime foglight mod. There are several threads I read. Not sure which exact one.

 

I'm not sure of the rating on the stock lamps. Mine are aftermarket anyway. I personally just like the option of running them if I want to. I wouldn't run them all the time.

 

Didn’t do the mod but always ran my headlights and fogs while driving for years. Turns out my headlamps weren’t made for staying on constantly and got them replaced under a tsb (after 4-5 years). Fogs didn’t have a problem.
