    Seriously? I pretty much only use the red. Only time I’ve used the white was trying to find something I dropped under the seat.
    Either way, they were a great addition for me.

    After reading your and other responses I may have to reconsider.

    No worries. I went about a week on white before switching to red and mostly leave it red now

    I dig the flag in the cup holder. Looks like a coaster maybe? Where did you get it?

    Tundra's led headlights are tough on eyes at night. I was thinking about what to do with them, but then I wrapped the headlights with Lamin-X polyurethane film purely for protection on trails, and the disturbing blue hue is gone.

    yep, purchased used, original purchaser clearly hit a curb just right. No issue with it, is true, balances fine, no leak.

    I get what you’re trying to do. I’m saying you don’t need to spray anything or have a perfect outlined cut. You cover up the edges with the other parts of the shifter area. Here’s mine that’s held up awesome for over a year. You can see all I did was lay it down, fold over the edges (not anywhere near perfect) & cut out an area for the shifter. Once you make that 1 cut you just fold it out of the way & click the AJT trim right over top. You don’t see any imperfections.

    Like I said, doing it this way you lose access to the stock lettering but I just made my own after the fact & stuck them back ontop of my vinyl.

    So, if you’re trying to sell this with your other things you’re making, all you need to sell is a big enough square of vinyl (color of their choice) & the letters to stick back overtop (font & color of their choice).

    went offroading in the mountains and towed a broken down GX without power up a very steep and long incline.

    I set out on my vinyl experiment after seeing what you had done with yours. I was hoping to get it done in clear matte vinyl so the original letters could be left and still be back-lit. The problem with the clear matte was the uneven seam in the piece creates an air bubble that I couldn't get out. That wouldn't be an issue with black. The other issue is I'm using the MESO kit and the shift gate dosent overlap on top. It sits flush. This greatly complicated the cut around the trim piece. So after 3 different vinyl attempts I said f*ck it and sprayed it. A color vinyl piece could be made and precut but that seam, IMO, would prevent any piece that was clear or translucent from being an easy clean install.

    Makes sense. The way I look at it now, vinyl would be okay if someone wants a different color. To get rid of the gloss suncatcher as a primary goal, I recommend the matte clear spray. I'm glad that I ran across that post

    I really like the Tundra door sill decals. To fix that bubble in the "R" so it doesn't tear later put a hole on one edge of the bubble using a small needle, then use your finger to push the air out starting from the other side of the bubble and push toward the hole. If you make a small hole it won't even be noticeable once finished. I'm not nit-picking, just letting you know one way to get a bubble out. The shifter boot looks great too!

    These came but they appear to be the wrong set. The brake and dead pedal work but the e-brake and gas pedal don't fit. They were $34 and look to be high quality and look great! Now I need to find the gas and e-brake.

    Nothing big. Found this usb gooseneck light in Amazon. It has 6 leds and has low med and high and also has a redlight setting to preserve night vision. I always thought with a nice big center console and now with a lockerdown safe in it that these trucks should have a small light inside. The dome light just doesn’t cut it especially with my mardi gras head in the way. And my 54 year old eyes cant see shit in the dark anymoreA3194D22-520E-420F-8D38-10B0067F4E99.jpg
