1794 on the inside, pro on the outside

I cant remember if it was the left front bolt or right front bolt, but one of them I did not have to drill out any additional plastic and just threaded the nut on the end of the screw .. so far so good .. it’s not the most direct fitting piece, but it looks good when done. With my cup holder replacement trim there was one tab along the right side that would not snap into place. When I reached out to AJT he said that’s what the tape strips on the underside were for, but I did not have any tape under there .. did you? I’m worried about rattling over time, but so far so good. The shifter trim is snug. The cup holder not as much

 

I got the set off eBay, since then I have had several Tundra friends look for them with no luck.

 

Mine had 2 tiny tape strips (prob won't hold), the built in clips on mine didn't hold either, it has to do with the placement of the how the piece fits into the grove of the main console. Overall the AJT parts are good products, they need a little more tweaking. The hex bolts seem just a smidge short too.

Im surprised know one has commented on the front 2 hex bolts for the shifter trim plate (platinum & 1794). I literally had no tabs or plastic for those bolts to secure to, I went really easy on drilling out the plastic rivets to not damage the plastic underneatch.

 

More 1794 on the inside Pro on the outside...finally got my 12.1 android headunit installed, took it apart when I received it and had a bodyshop paint the bezel "trim satin black" (shout out to @JoshuaA for the inspiration and tips) Added the AJT 4x4 selector trim piece while I was installing the headunit. So far I am really impressed with it, I have the OEM Audio+ JBL enhancment system includes (2) subs, (4) tweeters, amp, sub level control. My system sounds damn good, crisp highs, deep bass, Android unit seems to have woke up the JBL 6x9 & 6.5 door speakers. Better pictures to come, quick snap for now.

 

This thread is going to make me poor

For the price, the light is powerful, brackets are rock solid, they include a black glossy light cover when lights not in use

 

I added security hex-bolts and a flush mount dash switch like the other Toyota switches (both from Amazon)

 

full transparency: I am copying your idea of wrapping these faux wood pieces. Curious about how you did the ones on the door. Are they clipped into place and just need to be carefully pried off or did you have to wrap it place?

 

I would love to know how you did the ones in the door as well! That’s the only faux wood I have left to wrap, just haven’t figured out how to tackle them yet! Thanks for help in advance!

 

You’ll need to remove the door panels and drill out the heat stakes holding the wood panels on. I want to say there are maybe 6 each. Don’t drill too deep obviously as you could go right through. I think I used a small drill bit and then stepped up to a 1/2” drill bit. You want to keep enough of the stakes so you can easily reinstall the part. So go easy. Once the heat stakes are out, the part comes right off. I then wrapped them making sure to have some overlap on the back to secure the wrap. Reinstalled and used some globs of 5 min epoxy to secure the panels back to the door panels.

Let me know if you have further questions.

 

what did you do to overcome the extra leather when wrapping g your steering wheel when covering the faux wood? There is about 1/8-1/4” too much.

 

Hey MT1794PRO, appreciate the feedback and instructions! That's a big help! Gotta admit, i honestly have no idea what "heat stakes" are, but i imagine ill find out as soon as i pull the door panel off lol. Do the door panels come off pretty easy? I was just about to youtube it as i have never done this before. Thanks man!

 

It was a good bit ago but I believe I was able to just fold it in and stitch it down as I went around.

 

This should help...

Heat stakes are just melted plastic posts that make permanent assemblies in mass manufacturing quicker then a fastener. Just some melted plastic rolled over to form a “head”. I believe they were white-ish but should be very obvious on the back of the panel.

 

Perfect, thanks again for all the help man.

 

i went on Amazon and searched the comments there are someone said they used an inner tube. Grabbed one from Walmart and that is the ticket. It’s adds just the right amount around the faux wood to make the leather come out even. Will add some pics when I finish.

 

Looks great!

Which headunit is that?

 

Phoenix Android 12.1 PX6 (latest gen)

Here’s a pic with a few more details I’ve added, AJT 4X4 selector bezel, anodized black dials for the android headunit (replaces the cheap plastic dials)
