Interior mod ideas

bah, nevermind, mines stick.

 

a few...

 

You can get the mag-lite clips at Amazon.com. I would get two sets in case you snap one. They're only plastic.

I would also be careful when doing this mod and check to see if the mounting of the flashlight is going to interfere with the normal seating position (of all the drivers of the Taco you're installing it in). I installed one in my 2010 and think it's a great mod, but I'm 6'1' and my gf is 4'11 and she needs the seat real close. With the seat all the way forward the head of the lite interferes with closing the door (i.e. hits the bottle holder on the door) I haven't tried it yet, but I would imagine that you could just turn the light around so that the head is to the rear, but that doesn't look as cool.

 

The stick dimensions are 12x1.25

I got it from here http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/buy-sell-trade/78265-custom-toyota-shift-knob.html (Second last post on page one)

 

Good ideas in here.

 

Several good mods in here! Funny, no one posted up the arm rest mod for the door panels.

 

What is that?

 

thanks Cap!

 

Anytime

 

Not exactly a mod but this is where I put my garage door opener. I didn't want to open a console cover, coin holder, glovebox, etc. everytime I go in or out of the garage. The visor is just too thick to hold my little Craftsman opener control.

I put a piece of the loop side (soft) of Velcro on the back so it wont scratch the console. Open the console and slide it down. Fits perfect. Doesn't get in the way of anything. You save precious calories by not having to move your arm to press a button.

 

I would be worried about that location...Very visible to thiefs and easy access to your house unless you always park your truck in the garage.

I put mine in the left flip down cubby.

 

What color/brand could I use to fix the dark gray plastic over my glove compartment?

 

Need pictures! I just got my Yota, and am still figuring out what lights to put where, and how to wire them in. Air horn sounds bad-ass. Tell me more about that and the air compressor. Me Want!

 

Fighter pilot lighting.

Key things learned while doing this install: 1 Lights under the seats as well as under the are a must for the full effect and to reduce shadowing. -not hard to do at all. The kick plate pulls up and from there you can thread the wires where you need them. 2 Sit down and premake all wiring harnesses in advance, it will save a lot of time and headaches. Also be sure to put your LEDs in parallel. 3 Use wide angle LEDs







Also if you run lights under the seats shooting 2 backwards gives a dimmer effect for the rear footwells



So in total this shows 2 Leds shooting both forwards and backwards from under each seat as well as 2 Leds in both front foot wells shooting down from under the front console.

 

where can i get all that stuff for the lighting?????

 

I used:
20 12V wide angle LEDs off ebay
1 spool of doubled wire (black and white) from radioshack
1 switch
6 ft of wire to run the power from the battery
6 ft of wire to run power to the passenger side
1 Wire tap

Other then that you need a pack of zip-ties and a spool of electrical tape.

 

im gonna try an find some...know anything about the led dome lights??

 

I am interested in that too. Ray was talking to be about his at the last mod day but he was saying that he got his years ago. Anything new out there?

 

LED Dome Light:


Placement of the garage door opener (double sided tape holds it on there):


Mag Lite:


Pictures to come later but I deadened the 4 doors,
Replaced all 4 speakers,
and used baffles from Mr. Marv for all 4 speakers.

And I removed the warning stickers on the visor:
