3rd Gen Accessory Thread

Are there any companies like Westcott or CBI in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex that might be looking for test trucks to fabricate accessories? I'd love to offer mine up!

 

Any word on Husky liners …?

 

Nice! Did anyone install yet??

 

Nice!! How do you like the Elevate racks so far? I just installed an MX4 with the TS rails, and will be getting the racks shortly... As soon as wifey is over the sticker shock from the tonneau.

I see your tonneau is a 4 panel? How much room do you have to spare when folding it?

Mines only a Tri-fold, so I'm hoping I'll be able to open and fold the panels with the racks in the lower position.

 

I need to drill another set of holes in my elevate rack so it sits slightly above the cab. The upper position seems too high, and in the lower position it cuts off the top of the digital rear view mirror display.

 

That's what I figured I'd probably do if I can't fold my bakflip with the racks in the lower setting.

Other than the rearview thing are you pretty happy with the racks so far?

If possible I'd like to keep them lower for everyday driving, then raise 'em if I need to carry the SUP's or something long.

 

I haven’t actually used them yet, but they seem well built and are easy enough to take off/on. My use will be for Kayaks, so these will probably sit in my garage all winter.

 

My truck is due to arrive any day. Wondering what else I should get for it? For accessories so far I have ordered:

BakFlip MX4 tonneau Cover
Black Armour Bed Mat
Ruiya 14" screen protector
Senshine Console, dash and cup holder liners
Talon Catalytic Converter Anti-Theft Shield

Have to find the part number for the under rear seat storage bins
Debating on Console safe

Anything else for now?

 

That decision is up to you man!

 

If you like wireless charging and mount, get one that actually works!

 

MagSafe charger swap for underpowered qi fix is coming along slowly but surely.

Goal: have a user-friendly plug and play fix to address the horrible charging capabilities of OEM qi charger while maintaining OEM appearance and practicality.

 

My truck is supposed to have that as a "standard option" for the 1794. We will see if it functions properly.

 

Love it!

 

I'll be a buyer (and thousands of others probably)!

 

I know you would need to add some wiring but would this be something that could be added to trucks without the original QI charger?

 

Spoiler alert. It won’t.

 

the trucks with the qi charger have a section of the console where the qi charger and mounting place sit through. The non-qi trucks just have a regular console with no knockout section.
For now the plan is to develop a replacement plate that can fit the MagSafe.

Then, the plan is to develop a fix for the non-qi trucks where all you have to do is mount it behind the console.

 

Is this something that will be available for purchase, I'd love to know the details!

 

I see PowerBrake now has brakes for the 22 Tundra:

 

Excited to report a new mod I discovered today! Easy install and looks amazing! This is on a TRD Offroad. It’s the identical part with the addition of the beautiful heritage Toyota lettering.

 

Bummer

 

It will be. But we have to design it from scratch. Both, me and my buddy are prior military which means we have a knack for finding new and inventive ways of breaking stuff. We have to test and adjust so that it will not only work but still look OEM.

We have a working prototype though.

 

Any concerns regarding copy right issues? I know the key fob people(can't think of the name but they are popular on here) got a cease and desist and can no longer use the Toyota logo

 

that was AJT and MesoCustoms. They were putting “TRD” logos on their stuff. Our product will be a direct replacement but will have an EEF logo (our company) on the plate:

1. Disassemble dash
2. Remove qi charger and plate
3. Buy MagSafe charger (Amazon, bestbuy, etc)
4. Mount to our plate with installed MagSafe charger
5. Reinstall and power charger

right now we are trying to fine tune it to get the MagSafe charge location in the best spot to accommodate iPhone Max size phones. Because it’s MagSafe, it should still hold a regular sized phone magnetically. We are also trying to replicate the right color for the plastic and texture to match as close to possible the OEM finish/appearance.

 

How much was it? Looks rather easy to install.

I waited 3 months for the part to ship. Thought it was just decal lettering, it’s a full replacement for the carbon fiber dash plate. Pulled the OEM stock one off, it’s held in place by clips and the passenger side air vent. One screw connects the air vent and dash plate be careful not to snap it off.

After the air vent is reattached to the new dash plate, there is also a plastic piece that needs to be aligned. Once set up with pins in the right positions, press the top and bottom of the plate to snap entire assembly into dash. I absolutely love it, really brings the dash/passenger side together

 

My bad I thought I was replying to the guy who had the heritage "Toyota" trim piece for the dash. Oops

 

What’s the purpose of this? I watched the video…I don’t get the reason for this?

 

It’s a Toyota oem part.

 

Toyota keys are notorious for falling apart once you replace the battery a few times. This has four set screws and prevents your entry device from scattering to the four winds.
