New Taco and some mod ideas

Factory tailgate lock was from the dealer, the hood struts I purchased are the SkokieTech from Amazon

 

Welcome to TW.

 

Thanks!

 

Thank you for the welcome! I am looking forward to spending more time on the forum learning about things.

 

Updated original post with what’s been knocked out so far.

 

Yeah but where is the updated pic?

 

Lol, tailgate locks don’t make for good pics. I’ll snap some and post soon. Next ones will probably be about bed accessories.

 

Diamondback is a good choice. I like my HD because it’s secure and I can haul on top of the cover.

I would say get a bed mat as well as get ceramic tint applied on your windows.

 

The OTT tune (medium/spicy ETC setting) is by far and away the best money I've spent on any mod for my DCLB save the All-Dogs lift.......and I have done a LOT of mods to my rig. Changed it into a completely different feeling, towing and driving truck.

 

OTT question. Currently my Tacoma has stock suspension with 265/70/17. I want to get the OTT but was wondering if in the future I leveled my truck, would that have any effect on the tune?

 

For those checking my thread, I just ordered a Console Vault for half price. Don't know how long they are running the sale but I jumped on it.

Dang that’s a great deal wish I had the funds !

 

I gotta admit I love the cup holders that Meso Customs sells. I have a large hydro flask that fits nowhere. Best $60 I’ve spent on the truck.

 

you’re cruising on that list.

as mentioned by some others- bed mat or bed rug is a good addition.

as for your MOLLE question - I have the Victory one for the front and it’s been good and assume their bedside ones would be similarly solid.

 

Got the console vault in. Looks super nice, is sturdy, extremely easy to install and set the combo, spring lid is nice.

Cons: really does take a lot of usable space away. For size reference, a Glock 19 or 43X will fit in there but neither will lay flat on the bottom (sheathed in Kydex). And the opening is considerably smaller than the bottom.

I’ll live with it a bit and maybe it will be okay.

 

You might get some pew-pew specific advice from this forum: https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/guns-hunting.24/

 

I leveled and installed 17x9 with 265/70r17 after having my tune. Nothing was affected and my speedo required no recalibration.

 

What year range of rav4 radio knobs? I'd like to swap mine out.

 

Which hoods struts did you go with? I am thinking about doing that. But I saw a video of someone who installed a set that let the hood slam down, almost injuring his hand.

Edit: Nvm...I just saw your follow up comment
