    I’ve heard a sound difference. If you want something g more noticeable, the TRD exhaust gives more bang for your buck as well. Combined together and you get a nice little sound upgrade.

    Man. I've been kicking myself for going with black over cement when I had the chance. That grey looks outrageous when clean or dirty

    Doesn’t fully cover, but better than the all chrome.
    The blue goes, there’s a little bit of blue in the metallic paint.
    Hands went numb (cold) guess I’ll do the Tacoma letters tomorrow.
    Thumbs up!

    I always check their price, but the parts I’ve looked at are usually a little less expensive on oem parts source dot com

    I like the silver metallic and glad I went with the color. I originally wanted cement but could not find one at the time. All my previous vehicles were black but decided to go with something different when I bought the taco.

    Thank you for taking the time to point this out. I wondered why that happened when I posted a link to them (for informational purposes only). I have ordered a few things from them but will not do it anymore. I had no idea. Much appreciated.

    :)

    Looks good but might I suggest getting some door edge protector to cover the metal that you cut to get the wire to fit?

    Nothing huge, but got the blackout emblems/insert on and put on a new Black Off-road decal on the bed. Soooo much better!

    Installed bed stiffeners (Total Chaos) in preparation for a topper (ARE MX mid-rise) that is on order. Straightforward install, no issues. Justified the cost to myself as piece of mind for the topper weight and for the extra tie-down locations.

    With the topper on order I am also looking to sell my Extang 2.0 hard tri-fold cover (3rd gen short bed) if anyone is interested (southeast North Dakota). Too few comments in my history to post in buy/sell forum.

    I liked the illumination I did with my TRD Pro shift knob that I decided to build another one. Now that I have it down to only a few hours I think I could do it again.
    Kudos to MESO for the opaque TRD emblem clip in.

    TPMS reset using the Autel tool. Lights gone for now but not reading pressure, will give it a longer drive and see if that solves it.

    Tacoma lifestyle I think and can’t remember (maybe 100 or less)


    meso v4 to usr switchback to r4t sequentials to these lifestyle amber sequentials (the last 2 are literally the same everything box/tools/housing) minus the lens change.

    I’ve posted a comparison between the first 2 and stock and will point out again the only brand that is on par with stock (in terms of quality) is meso. All versions are brighter than stock and I only keep replacing because of style change (not because any died).
