I added red stripes in the interior and red TACOMA letters on the glove box plus a TRD shifter with red inserts

 

Where did you get the decals for the sills?

 

I got them off eBay. $13. Looks like they went up.

Wow, great additions! I have been looking everywhere on how to install and find the right courtesy lights! It's too dark in the cabin at night. Can you please provide some details on the Console light, floor lights, and overhead lights?
I tried looking up the the stock courtesy lights in my 2016 Lexus for the right brightness. But they only sell as a whole.

 

The overhead console light is just a lit toggle switch that I got at AutoZone. I hooked into the dash light circuit on one of the switches in the overhead console. Since it is a toggle switch you can turn it on and off. I leave it in the on position. I used the same toggle switches in the rear doors. I hooked into the dash light circuit on the power window switch. The footwell lights are from AutoZone as well. They were on sale for $10. I tapped into the dash light circuit from one of the switches on the dash. Hope this helps.

 

Clarification... The console lights are led license plate lights that I bought at autozone. The overhead console light is the toggle switch.

 

I also did the glove box Red letter insert on my 2017, I love the look, since my Access Cab is Red.

I installed my bugout full size mattress platform....My camper shell will come in next weekend. I'm going to order a Rightline SUV Tent to use with the camper. Fun project today. Since I used joist hangers I can take everything apart and put together very easily. I have storage room under the platform for Rubbermaid containers and other items. I can also take the platform apart and move the panels to the sides to haul taller items. This design allows a lot of flexibility. I'll only use it when I go camping.

 

I like that idea with the glove box. May do that on my 2nd gen. What did you attach it with? 3m double sided tape?

 

I can't decide which way to go for seat covers??? Clazzio or Katzkin? In the meantime I wanted something temporary and cheap. I finally found something to fit the bill. Seat Armour SA100TOYB. They are essentially beach towel material with cut outs for the head rests. I just throw them on when I'm working outside, off-roading, camping or know I'm gonna get sweaty. This will buy me a little time to make up my mind. They were $27 each on Amazon.

 

I bought them off eBay....You can get different colors...Even chrome.

 

I went with clazzio and actually just got them in today. Right now they're offering $100 off any custom order. So instead of $599 for custom it would be $499.

 

This was before I finished tucking it all and tightening it all up

 

Oh ok. I thought you just reused one of the door emblems after a debadge. What did you search on eBay, Tacoma emblem?

 

Tacoma glovebox letters

 

the letters come with the 3M tape already attached, just peel and stick,

 

Yes sir. http://m.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=T...+glovebox+letters&sqp=tacoma+glovebox+letters

 

I got my ARE camper shell this weekend. I absolutely love it. The Windoors are so wonderful to have. I had an ARE shell on two Rangers back in the day and was very happy it. I need to start looking at attachments for the shell. I took it on a camping trip for the weekend.

 

did TRD intake with larger top cover interface with redline hood struts?

 

No sir. No problems at all.
