    Take a look at his IG and you'll see a Tacoma (and other 4WDs) doing things that really shouldn't be possible.

    My profile pic shows the amber laminex fogs. Only had to pop the black plastic covers off, here.
    I grabbed a 4"×8" strip. Cut in half and trimmed after they were on. (A steady hand and a sharp xacto knife will be needed). Idk if harbor freight sells steady hands? lol
    Had to use a little heat around the edges to help persuade a couple stubborn bubbles.

    I’d be interested as well. I have a 2016 I bought in 2019 and have never had any issues with it. It has 120k miles on it now but had 36k when I bought it from the dealer (lease return). I hear lots of regrets from those with the earlier years but have never experienced them myself.

    MESO Steering Wheel Control Fix installed yesterday. The proper button orientation + the tactile feel of this is so nice with the extra indents so there's no guesswork in what button you're pressing. Very painless install but using a magnet to pull the T25's out of the airbag after unbolting helps a ton with having it release for an easy removal. Also put some felt tape between the steering wheel and trim to get rid of the plasticky creaking noise it had.

    I leased my first Tacoma, 2016, I put about 42k on it before turning it in on a 2019 and I never had any issues with it and it ran great the whole time.

    We have had a few customers email us that their shields were tested. Every time the he shield has won, minus a few battle scars.

    It is the biggest reason I do not offer anything thinner, as if the thief does try to cut the shield off, I want them to be denied. I know in the Prius world there are pictures floating around of shields being cut off.

    It was the small creases near the edges that I struggled with, but I went ahead and ordered sheets on Amazon and will do the exacto method, if nothing else I can just it to have some wrap around that won't show anyway to ensure coverage of the light

    Had to retire the Meso OG's. Installed newer version from @MESO. Will work on building a custom, 1-of, set this winter. With the red lense they look very similar when off.

    Right, I can't quite tell if he has a mini Tacoma to go with the normal sized one, or a massive Tacoma where he can park the real Tacoma on the tailgate.

    (Except that the link to the mini-build gives it away. It's a fun thread to see).

    Photoshop insert of the real Tacoma?

    Alternate planes of reality intersecting with ours?

    Mass hypnosis?

    Those red/green pills I took this morning?

    Has anyone done their own ECT relocation to the shifter without a pre-purchased kit or harness? I’ve given up on the two companies I see mentioned here often as they are rarely rarely in stock, if they are, I’ve never seen them since I purchased mine 3 years ago. I think one is a called meso and taco mods. I have some molex stuff, but not the connectors.

    Luna had a spa day on Saturday.
    Cleaned her pores (clay bar) and then SPF'd her skin with Zaino.
    Since I still haven't had the repair done from the neighbor's hit at 1937 miles, I only did cab-back to tail.
    Note to self: don't go do chest/tri before setting out to clay the truck!
