    Edit: I followed the link, and it now goes to a Chevy organizer, so I deleted the link. I guess they don’t have the tundra one listed right now. It was by mictuning and was $10.F805F009-0943-40E6-ABD3-EBEE1A510A7B.jpg

    Here is the new steering wheel cover that my gf sewed on. It is by Loncky.


    Here is the Defender rack by Smittybilt that I customized and installed.
    Some of you will say it’s too low, some will say it’s too high. Any lower and I couldn’t access the bed or open the bedcover, any higher and I couldn’t lift stuff high enough to put in. Plus, I didn’t want a “ladder rack” utilitarian look. I felt this was more stylish, and will fit under the sport bar (nonfunctional roll bar) I plan on installing.



    Since you can’t see the subwoofer behind the seat, I am posting a photo from before I installed it. It is a 10” shallow sub with a built in amp...by Cerwin Vega. It also has a remote to control the gain.

    Where did you get the 3rd brake light? Are you happy with it? I have read bad reviews about all of them because of poor quality and they always leak

    I guess I was looking for the brand to make sure I do not buy the cheap junk they have been selling. Would you happen to have that info?

    I got rear ended recently, and the only damage was to the tail light...so I decided to upgrade.
    I usually get smoked tails for darker vehicles...but since we move a lot and I never know what the laws will be where we move, I went with clear. Unfortunately, clear has an almost white outline when mounted. Instead of returning them, since I really like them, I wrapped over the white part with matteblack vinyl. I like how they turned out.

    Very interested in how you converted the AJT Design Case to fit both the key fob and key. My tundra keys are the same as yours and I would love to do the same.

    It wasn’t easy. Haha.
    I think I explained it somewhere. Let me find the link.

    Guess I didn’t do a write-up on that one.


    I used a soldering iron and several types of blades to make the notch for the key, and to remove the original key housing.
    I cut the key to the proper shape with a cutting wheel, and then wrapped the end with heat shrink to shield the electronics from it.
    I also had to melt out a space in the backing and trim the main housing so it would still close with the transponder placed inside.
    I'm sure it will be easier the second time around. I’ll do a write up in a couple of weeks when I get the case for my second key.
