    Then why aren't they aimed at the ditch (instead of straight down the hood)???

    Installed my 23Zero 180R awning this past weekend. Here are a couple of quick shots showing the awning extended.

    Got my Taco at the beginning of the month. Lost my original to flooding during Ida. Since I got my new one I've:
    -Did the chrome delete from AJT Designs, just wished someone made something to cover the center cup holder for MT that isn't a vinyl sticker. Also used the black door handle covers from MESO.
    -Put on my old Covercraft seat covers.
    IMG20220426095636.jpg IMG_20220426_100634.jpg
    -Replaced the interior lights, backup lights, and license plate light with LEDs.
    IMG20220426095720.jpg
    -Installed the Anytime Backup Camera.
    IMG20220426095553.jpg IMG20220426095657.jpg
    -Added a molle panel to arm rest (Victory 4x4).
    IMG20220426101946.jpg
    -Hardwired an always on power source for when I need to bring my Dometic with me.
    IMG20220426095538.jpg IMG20220426095515.jpg IMG20220419070504.jpg IMG20220419070449.jpg
    -Removed the rear headrests.
    -Harwired my dashcam (Rexing V1P with rear camera).
    IMG20220426095247.jpg
    -Did the OVTune (I'm loving it).
    -Chrome deleted exterior lettering and tinted windows.
    IMG20220426095123.jpg IMG20220426095206.jpg
    -Removed OEM tonneau cover and put on my old tonneau cover (TruXedoSentry CT).
    IMG20220426102527.jpg
    -Added the black inlays to the tailgate.
    IMG20220426095148.jpg
    -Added molle panels to truck bed (Victory 4x4 for sides and CaliRaised for front).
    -Install bed stiffeners (Victory 4x4).
    -Installed OEM LED bed lights.
    -Installed power tailgate lock.
    -Added my original bed mat.
    IMG20220422161441.jpg
    -Tried undercoating for the first time, I think I did a pretty good job. Used Woolwax Black.
    -Installed Talon's Garage cat protector (and undercoated it).
    -Did the AC drain mod fix (you can see the new outlet by the cat protector).
    IMG20220426095819.jpg
    -Installed a motion activated security camera to monitor my Taco.

    Honestly, it is perfect size for a couple of people. For my needs it works great. 23Zero makes a bigger version of the 180 also

    pretty much everything
    Installed the Southern Style Off-Road Slimline full plate bumper. The instructions on their YouTube video are great and easy to follow. I was a bit nervous to start cutting but the end result was well worth it. I also installed a Smittybilt X2O GEN3 10K Winch and Baja Designs 20 inch Amber light bar.

    How much of a PITA was it to change the key housing? Been thinking about doing it as well.

    Is the light bar dual color or is that a trick of the lighting?

    It was somewhat annoying. The thing that takes the longest is getting the transponder out safely. Everything else is quick and simple. There are a couple of videos on how to do it. You will completely destroy your original case in the process. A heat gun would be helpful for breaking up the glue that holds it in place. Personally I was just very patient and sliced off a tiny portion around the transponder until there was enough of a gap to pop it out. If you mess up the transponder I think it can be really costly however.

    Thanks! I use the Dometic hardwire kit as mentioned. Though there are definitely cheaper options like the NOCO. I ran the wire directly from the battery through the boot and then under the trim until it was in the rear seat. Then I followed the path of the rear floor mats to the center console and stuck it on with some heavy duty velcro. You can screw it in, but I didn't want to do that. Let me know if the explanation isn't clear and I can take some pictures later.

    My good friend in high school had a 1st Gen. So many damn good memories in that thing. Love seeing one in great shape like that.
