What Have You Done To Your 4th Gen Today?

My white truck came with gunmetal inserts and it clashes with the matte black 4x4 badge. Debating debadging or replacing the stickers with matte black.

 

How wide of a strip did you use on the PPF? I have a roll of 3M that I used on my MTB, but not sure it's wide enough on the long bed?

 

Looks good. Are the RC seat covers easy to go on or take off, or would they be a pain to do so (i.e., take too long or lots of hassle) ? I'm looking for some temp seat covers that go on and off easily for like a quick trip here and there.

 

These were recommended by someone on the forum. No personal experience:

My blue truck came with gun metal. I thought it clashed as well. Easy removal and replaced with matte black. Glad I did.

 

Hi, do you mind posting a screenshot of the backup camera while an object (tree, rock, whatever you choose) is in the way while these lights are on? While it is dark. Thanks whether you choose to do so or not.

 

The roll I bought was 6 inch wide, I cut it down to 3.5 inch and added an angled cut at the top and bottom. Only did the front of the rear bed sides above where the oem ppf is.

Thanks, they fit perfect. It was a hassle to put them on, not hard just time consuming and I have done plenty of these in the past. To take them off would be super easy.

 

Personally am loving my RC seat covers, but to be honest the driver and passenger are a LITTLE more involved as you have to go between the side trim to properly stuff the seams down.. wasnt impossible by any means, but there werent any instructions so I had to use a few old youtube videos to find hints on how to install. the back seats on the other hand were much much easier to install because you can easily move them up / down to get the straps set in. Overall I would say once you figure it out , shouldnt be more than 10-15 mins to install / take down. first time may take a bit just to get it understood on how to install

 

Thanks for the info! Exactly what I was fishing for. I'm just needing some slip covers types that cover the whole seat surface, look good, and don't take long to put on or remove.

 

Air Dam removed
Got rid of seat belt chime
Black tailgate letters
Ran power from battery to bed for my boat winch
Built a PVC fishing rod holder for the bed (holds 6 rods)

Next week will be installing a bed cover

 

Installed a liscense plate, filed my title in the safe, returned the glove box divider since the manuals didn't fit.

Waiting for someone to dump some nice rails or steps on market place. There is a guy near me with the ARB trailhunter rack for $750 but thinking I really dont need that and will just go with a bed cover.

Somewhere I have a flag pole mount from my tundra. Need to find that.

 

Didn’t do anything to mine today, but noticed for the first time how the cab lights turn on dim when you approach the vehicle before you get really really close with the key in your pocket. That’s a nice touch at night, “greeting lighting” or whatever its called

 

I ordered fabric samples from Clazzio. I had Wet Okole in my 2nd get that held up well for 14 years. My pit bull mixdog has short white hair and vacuuming it out of neoprene was murder. Leaning towards the least expense Clazio PVC because of the dog.

 

My dad recently got his 4th Gen TRD Pro and wanted some 3D printed accessories made for it. His last truck, 3rd Gen TRD Pro, had Hondo Garage's Unholey mount and he really liked the ruggedness of it to hold his phone securely. There was no phone mount alternatives that he was happy with currently on the market. This is what I came up with and have uploaded the files to printables.com. In case, anyone else might want to print and install one for themselves.

 

I also made 3D printed drawers that are compatible with a JKCOVER Glove Box Organizer that my dad bought. I made a shorter vertical divider to be compatible with the official Toyota leather/vinyl folio that holds the manuals that comes with his truck. Here's another link to printables.com for those files.

 

Dad also had Forged Carbon Fiber License Plate Frames that he wanted to use. The stock Toyota license plate frame that came with his truck would not work as it wants the license plate to be recessed in it. I came up with a 3D printed license plate bracket filler to allow him to use the carbon fiber license frame on top of the stock frame. Here are the files on printables.com. If anyone else wants to do the same.

 

Are you looking for something specific, like if the camera gets washed out? It doesn’t. I also have a VLED license plate reverse light, no issues with washout. I use the Rigid's for more of a utility light.

 

Added some tie-down points to the truck bed sidewalls.

 

Would you happen to know the diameter of the hole on those anchors? Where did you get them?

I've been search for a similar solution to mount to the hood bolts for for kayak bow tie downs. I think I need 11mm and would prefer solid steel (no d-ring) but I'm having a hell of a time finding a solution with a wide enough mounting hole. I might just give up and go d-ring.

 

They are the Toyota tie-down rings for the gen 3. Got them on Amazon. They're pricey but I wanted the swivel.

They bolt through the composite bed to a plate with an attached nut. Mounting hole is 7/16. Not sure exactly what the bolt size is. I have another set ordered that I can measure.
Sounds like you want something more like these:
