Simple but noticable mods?

I actually really dig this. Whered you pick it up at?

 

AutoAnything.com—B&I kit.

Got the small kit...and it still comes with ALOT of pieces. I only used about half of them just because I didn’t like the look of some of the pieces installed. Chat with them online and you can get some money off. Not the cheapest kits but good quality and everything lines up perfect...worth it IMO.

 

Do these snap on or adhere to the existing trim, or do they actually replace the original parts?

 

that looks very nice! Do these replace the original parts or are they stick/clip on?

 

I noticed a slight rattle in my center console armrest so I cut a piece of dense foam to fit along the front edge on the underside of the armrest to give it some tension when it latched. Best mod ever for the OCD.

 

finally! i saw this thread yesterday and was disappointed in the outreach. (we love to poke fun here, so WITH ALL DO RESPECT) damn, some of yall love to overpay for stuff lol. maybe because im a semi-broke college student living at home, (who spent that time mostly placing orders from chinese wholesalers and reselling products so i know how the game works.) Rent and school comes first (i say that but im addicted lol) and if i had your money i would buy higher quality stuff but i prefer buying budget mods that honestly in most cases are subcontractors for the higher end stuff. so with all do respect if i may humble brag, i am the KING in this sector. ive never spent more than $300 on a mod in my life

heres what i did to my truck:

Interior:
-10" kicker and amp <$200
-Clazzio full leather seat conversion (dealer pricing) <$300
-pioneer headunit <$200
-rgb under dash lights < $30
-hardwired dash cam < $40
-full led conversion <$20
-AJT design knobs <$60
-TRD Pro floor mats <$60

Exterior:
-tow mirrors <$140
-custom badging < $35
-remote start (smart key) < $120
-tint tailights < $30
-20% tint < $160
-stubby antena <$15
-led headlight housings <120
-Led headlight bulbs < $35
-LED fog lights < $35

and i got so many more and like i said im the master of budget builds. you cant convinve me a $200 interior LED kit is any better from the Amazon special with the same ammount of LEDs inside, its all wholesaled from the same place

ball on a budget. dont get GARBAGE, but like even Rigids, your looking at brand names (Which no one would crouch down and look at) but if you get a $10 pair with a 4 year amazon warrently for $13 its worth it

 

I'm going to need more info...
Tint taillights? Yes please
Stubby antenna? Which one?
Hardwired dash cam for <40? I'm in
Under dash lights <30? Do you have pics?

Matter of fact, pics and/or links for any or all of these?

I'm def on a budget. Wife is a teacher, and everyone knows teachers don't make much and on top of that are currently unemployed for the summer. Also we just had our first baby. Loving little ball of joy we named Emery. Doesn't mean I should have to tame my inner child tho! I still need my thrills amirite?!

 

i would be glad to help!!
tail light light smoke i can send you NEW material is till have super easy install for $15 -20 plush shipping! PM me if interested. dash cam i got the best rated one on Amazon i think its an aukey for like $30. the stubby antena the previous owner did but their like $10 on amazon.

dash light photos coming up....

 

I went the cheap route too for all my LED bulbs including turn signals and reverse lights. My footwell lights are from eBay less than $10, 2 sets for brightness, cut off the switch, positap your existing footwell bulb:

I have a used Taco leather wheel $120:



I made a divider out of leftover wood and stained it black:



I took apart my dash and shifter, painted the silver/gray parts black (not exactly simple but cheap):



My center console has foam from unrelated Amazon packaging and this cover for a nice padded rest:

wheel with airbag

 

No, direct swap, retain your original controls and airbag. Painted the grey and Plastidipped the emblem black since I had it apart anyway. Peridodically check eBay for them.

 

Might have been mentioned earlier, vinyl letters:



Apparently this brand of sticker turns your Taco into a Tundra TRD Pro:

 

woah woah woah wait just a second there pal ur telling me i can use a new wheel with an old airbag?

edit: crap probably not im a 2nd gen, buying a 3rd gen wheel

 

since someone was so nice to like this and remind me of this post, 2yr update on stuff done

1. swing case, decided not to do this (waiting for next gen tundra to come out to swap too)
2. swapped oem 20" for new rims and tires, went with 275/55/20 Goodyear Duratracs on HELO HE901 (20x9 5-150 18bkmtsa)
3. Vent Ring Vinyls, Vinyl Tailgate Insert by Tacoma Vinyls
4. swapped the original 3" stubby antenna for a better reception one from antenna source "Tundra Pickup Ultra High EndTHE ORIGINAL 6 3/4" Rubber Antenna Mast" with a copper core (this improved radio reception to the point of the same quality as the oem antenna.
5. skipped the fender flares for same reason as #1, getting new tundra in a few years
6. front rear bumpers skipped also
7. centeer console tray has a quirk that it will scratch the upper lip over time when sliding it back and forth, needs to have padding to prevent this
8. love the drone mobile but the cost per year is only downside, swapped service to mycarcontrols.com for $30yrs but included gps locate function that the drone mobile basic service does not include
9. black lug nuts that i bought with the rims from discount tire direct are starting to rust after only 2 rotations and almost 2yrs on the vehicle (only have 18k miles on the truck)
10. center console cover has holes in the top from the dogs, not very durable but didnt expect much from $25 product, didnt fit correctly even when the company we bought it from resent a new one for free since the original didnt fit correctly. not a fault of the product but a quirk of the center console having a recessed tray
11. dealer doing oil change removed the front lower valance, forgot to put the 3 screws back in, next oil change they put non oem screws back it, works but they are silver
12. had the radar tsb done, now the front area before the radiator rattles, will have the dealer look into this
13. fog lights light pattern jumps around going over bumps, tried to put in rubber cushings to prevent this, that didnt work. flaw of the oem housing design that the lights vibrate. dont have this issue in our 2016 tacoma or my 2014 4runner
14. rear passenger seat rubs and squeaks, starting about a month after ownership. doesnt bother us very much unless we dont use the radio, spotify, xm (when free)

thats all to report

 

How did you get the leather at dealer pricing and how do you like it?

 

Sorry to resurrect this thread from the dead, but what head unit do you have?

 

All info here:

 

I don't think color matched door handles were mentioned. Super easy mod.

 

BAMuffler!!

 

Best Plug N Play Mod = Pedal Commander, hands down.

 

Damn near at the top of my PnP list too

 

Interior?

 

Exterior. I ordered mine from Sparks.

 

Oh ok.. I think I like the black on mine..never seen color matched though.

 

@Flat I'm having the same issue, it is driving me crazy! Curious, did you just glue it on?

 

Did you vinyl wrap your dash? Thinking about doing the 3 horizontal trim panels that look like fake wood in either carbon fiber or flat black.
