Tacoma guy but love Tundra's

Hi-

I currently own a Tacoma but always loved the Tundra's and it will definitely be a future purchase, especially if Toyota releases a diesel version.


I bought my 2011 Tacoma Off-Road 4x4 new and built it myself.


4.0L with TRD Super Charger (305HP). The SC gave it that pep that I felt it was missing.







In 2012 I started making LED bed light kits for Tacoma's and every once in a while Tundra's.
Please feel free to PM if your interested a light kit.

MattGecko LED light kits come mostly pre-assemble and are designed for the non-DIY (electrical newbie) to the experienced installer. Everything that you need to install the kit is included (except basic hand tools) and includes easy to follow installation instructions with lots of pictures. I use super bright 5050 waterproof LED light strips, all connections to the LED’s are soldered with shrink tubing over the connections. Light strips come with upgraded "high strength" adhesive tape and heat shrink crimp connectors.

Nice Taco. Don't hold your breath waiting for the Tundra diesel.

 

What switch does it use?

 

Interested in a bed LED kit. send me a PM with some info. Thanks!

 

That's a shame.

Small push button switch with a waterproof rubber cover that is mounted right below the end of the tie down rail.

 

PM sent, thanks.

Im interested in the bed LED. Can you pm me some info.

Thanks

 

Yup!
Definitely going with Matt for my LED upgrade! Good stuff!

 

PM sent, thanks.

 

I'm interested. I've been sourcing the components lately as this a definite future mod for me. Seems like a must for camping. This and rock lights to serve as puddle lights.

 

I am happy to email my install instructions in advance for anyone that would like to review them to see what the install involves.

 

Nice truck mattgecko . I was thinking to add SC to my Tacoma also . Any regrets or issues with SC . Is it really worth it to add SC. My truck is 2013 4.0l 4X4 like yours.

 

Thanks! Nope regrets at all, I've had it about 30k miles now. Took my brother and I about 6 hours to install and was a fun project. A few years ago I took it down to Mexico with 5 adults, 5 bikes and full gear, truck tow/hauls like a champ for not being a Tundra.

 

Thank you . Where is that place in Mexico . I go to Baja California 3 time a year all the way to San Quentin.

 

We usually go down for the Baja races, Ensenada & San Felipe, Pre running dirt bikes on parts of the coarse and having fun.

 

thank you

 

Welcome from CO!

 

I was just looking at CL and saw your add, didn't know you were right over the hill.

 

Yes, in Campbell. Also $5 off if picking up an order.

 

It'll save me some work if I just get it from you and I won't be guessing about the quality, or lack thereof, of the leds. I'll let you know when I plan to head your way.

 

Welcome from Las Vegas!

 

Welcome from NC and another former Tacoma owner

 

Welcome from eastern CO! Shoot me a PM on the light kit please.

 

PM sent, thanks.

 

@mattgecko is good people!!
I'll post up some pics of his lights I've used on my Tacoma and My Tundra in a bit!

 

Hey Kevin. Hows it going? I'm amazed, a lot of folks with both Tacoma and Turndra's.

 

I opt'd for the remote feature when I installed these in the Tundra but had just the switch in the Tacoma. Amazing lighting at night, especially out when camping.
Switch works great, remote even better.

 

There is quiet a few on here who seemed to have come to Tundra from Tacoma, and a fair amount with both.
My wife swapped to the Rav4, leaving me the sole truck now in the house... the Tacoma was mine also, so she wanted something of her own.

Trying to convince her to get the 4Runner instead.
