    Loving our new '20 Tacoma TRD Sport and I was trying to think of other things I need to look into getting for it? Do have any accessories that you feel are must haves? Let me know so I can check them out. Thanks..!

    Being new to the Tacoma, how the heck do you ever buy any Meso stuff? I was lucky enough to get a blemished coin holder but everything else is always out of stock. Is it always like that or is because he's been tied up with the Sema build?

    As somebody who has never seen the need for these, what is the benefit? They're commonly espoused as a "must-have" but I've never seen what benefit they really offer and I'm genuinely curious as to why people want them.

    Yep, not run very well. Hasn’t had second gen stuff since January of this year. Poorly run. For the second gen has been that way all this year. I quit wasting my time looking.

    He produces and releases his mods in batches. The best way is to watch the thread for the mod you want and to sign up for email updates. Be aware that many of his mods sell out quickly so the email alert alone may not ensure you get the desired mod.

    If we’re thinking of the same item.
    They allow you to open your window slightly when it’s raining/snowing.
    Also when you’re traveling at high speeds they help reduces noise inside the vehicle when the window is open an inch or two.

    Years ago when I was a smoker they allowed me to vent smoke without getting rained on. Since I quit I have seen no need for them.

    I'm not a smoker anymore. But for those people, they are definitely a "must have". I like to leave my windows cracked during the warm weather. They let fresh air in while keeping out the rain. Also driving on rainy days.

    That's kind of what I figured. I don't smoke and don't let anybody smoke in my vehicle, and I live in a pretty arid climate so it sounds like I can continue saving my money. Thanks guys.

    I don't smoke either and I live in CA which means we don't know what rain is. I still think visors are a great mod and it's one of the first things I add to every vehicle. I like the look plus I like being able to crack the window while driving at speed (like mentioned above). You can also leave your windows slightly open while parked without giving the appearance of such.

    Buy some weathertech floor liners and then go hide your credit cards from yourself. Drive it for 6 months or a year and let it tell YOU what else it needs.

    Yeah you gotta watch every one of his threads for when he posts saying when things will get released. I only have the map and dome lights, gashole and change bucket. I got his LED tail lights second hand. I'm really just waiting for the flip out key though

    Don't know if I'd say it's a must-have, but I get a lot of use out of my Prinsu rack. You can fit all the stuff for a multi-person fishing trip up there without breaking a sweat.

    The OEM bed mat is also nice. The bed is pretty slippery without it.

    This is the first mod I did on my Tacoma. It rains a lot here so they work great to allow fresh air in and keep rain out while driving. Also on hot days I will open the windows a bit with the sunroof vented. Makes the interior much cooler than the sauna it can be when the windows and roof aren't vented.

    Mine are AVS in channel style. I prefer the in channel to the stick on style available.

    Edit... should have read further... answered lots of times already :D
