Dash cover

Wonder how the mat will affect passenger side airbag deployment...

 

You get to eat some carpet!

 

its coo, not my truck. its my dads, he's old. i guess it happens when people age.

 

HAHAHAHA make sure it's a chick in the passenger seat before the wreck.....so you can say....hahahaha and you said you'd never be a carpet muncher.

 

he has velco on the very top of the dash. its not like he duct taped the whole dash mat down.....

 

I know its late but here is a picture of mine. A little different than the one previously posted.

 

I'm not really feeling the dash mat. It looks like you literally cut up a piece of carpet and laid it down.

 

I was gonna take it out when I bought the truck. Then I figured it won't hurt anything so there it sits. I agree that they're not very good looking.

 

they wouldn't look so bad if they were a one-piece, hard shell that fit like a glove... like fiberglass or plastic... and if rubberized would almost look oem... giving me an idea for a new mod! oh my god, did he say new mod! where!

 

I have a DashTopper. Ordered from my local Toyota Dealer. $39. Perfect fit.

 

x2.

 

why do you guys need a dash mat? even if you live in the desert i doubt they would crack they are not as hard plastic as other cars dashes...

 

AH ! Yeah I see where this could go. Shit wouldn't slide off if keep it there.

 

What is the purpose of these things?

 

I remember infomercials many years ago, 30 +/- years that claimed the mat was to keep the dash from drying out and cracking and also helped to keep the inside cooler using a lighter color vs the dark dash if the car had one.
These days the windows are better at deflecting the UV and AUV ? and the other V's that the mat is probably just pointless.

 

Guess some like it some don't. I like the one my dad had for his first gen. Guess cause it wasn't so big. Don't know the reason my pops got it. But I believe its for heat. My tacos dash gets pretty hot, feels like it warped sometimes(at work there is no shade to park it). I use armor-all for it a lot. Maybe some people don't want to always lather it up with armor-all.

 

Good to hear someone else likes it. Yea its getting pretty hot out here. Its like 80 by 10

 

i think these are like 20 bucks at the dealer

lol it doesnt get below 80 here. suppose to be 115 today

 

I live in a desert envirment and the mat helps keep the dash cooler. It's just laying there...not secured. I take it off when the temperature gets below 90.
