    Just some updates on the pictures I didn’t have on some of the descriptions:

    Beer bottle Opener in the truck bed since I tailgate a lot: C5D8D280-454B-4515-AB4E-A3F8A043E651.jpg

    A custom flag holder made out of a piece of pvc pipe and some metal pipe clamps:
    69FEB5B9-E584-46E5-9239-95C62DF9B6E0.jpg

    Bed lights I just bought some cheap ones from autozone for $20 and they’ve been working the same since day one and it’s been 4 years now:
    1498DB39-6C90-4DB1-AD53-2C6F128DE222.jpg

    I don’t really like looking at grey or chrome so what I did was take out all of the sill protectors and bedlined them:
    8BAA5DA2-E246-45E9-A743-85917E196ACC.jpg

    This was a pretty difficult and tedious job and I kind of butchered some parts but I ordered a roll of 3M carbon fiber and went over all of the grey in the center console and around the radio. You could also see I just took some Velcro and hooked my wireless winch remote in an easy access spot instead of always digging for it:
    19641EF7-E67D-4DC9-B126-22A5FDBE7D6C.jpg

    Closer look at the Amazon AC knobs which I personally love:
    432EF175-D083-4F4A-BE12-40EEDEB8EB38.jpg

    I painted the engine cap and the fuse box cap red for fun one day I was bored lol:
    6DF4734C-B468-44E9-BB7B-8E501174954C.jpg

    I really liked the TRD Off Road floor mats so I ordered them off eBay from an 05’ truck which doesn’t fit but I just made them fit and they look good:
    F482C060-4880-4D6F-9A0F-E58E0F450CB5.jpg

    My new water proof 13k wireless Xbull winch:
    89B5BC19-EECE-4157-A732-3197F26E4FC4.jpg

    I really want to get a switch panel and organize everything including the wiring but for now these are where some of my switches are:

    Today I did a DIY fold down table for my brute force fab bumper since it didn’t come with one so I just took some self tapping screws, ordered a cheap table off Amazon that was for a wrangler and threw it on the bumper.

    So blue ridge overland makes a pretty cool “Tacoma attic” which I’ve been wanting to purchase because it’s perfect for storing light items that always get in the way (rain coats and such) but i think it’s way too over priced so I went and got a powertye cargo net for $9 off of Amazon and just DIY’d my own attic and saved about $70 haha. 2D898E76-045D-4992-8C15-9541B51A2088.jpgB01DBD3A-4DBD-42D4-B898-6F0D35E629CB.jpgDFEEFA0C-C122-430E-972E-AFF5FDCB9663.jpg
