    Depends on what you deem an organizer. I have one of these in my '18.

    oh, sorry... was meaning an organizer tray that may go on top of it. Or, since it's a half-safe, maybe a tray that would fit on the opposite side of the safe.

    This right here...we're all living in a society and have to be conscientious of the rules of the road. Just motivates me to get to a more rural area that much faster.

    On an entirely different note; snapped a pic of the four trucks at work yesterday. A gen 2, my 2014, and the facilities guy driving a 2.5 1794 edition....all three parked next to a Chevy.

    Went from 2014-2017 TRD Pro Grille to the 2018-2021 TRD Pro Grille. Had the old one for 10 years now. Needed a new face.

    I’ve thought about this. I fight myself with which one I like better. If someone happen to offer a trade, I’d do it

    They’re both nice. Both are clean IMO. Just a nice little change is what I was looking for.

    Being that you dont have TSS, the 14-17 grille makes sense unless you find a 3d printed or knockoff garnish that you like for the other one.

    Used a clay mitt made by Adams as I hate using a clay bar. Paint cleaned up well then applied a coating of Chemical Guys Hydro Slick. Used Chemical Guys spray detailer as a lube for the mitt. Pretty quick job. IMG_2211.jpg IMG_2213.jpg

    Tell me more about this clay mitt! CB'ing my truck is a big ole PITA, so if there's a better way, I'm all ears!

    The 3d printed one sold on the forum looks good. I like the aesthetics for both

    Used the Adam’s version on many projects. It’s great for large vehicles.

    Make sure with the clay mitt that you rinse it periodically since you can’t fold it over and get fresh clay like you can with a CB. I used a medium grade CB and detail spray from Adams Finishes and they both worked great. Their detail spray smells great btw, so good I was almost tempted to take little a sip just to see…

    Upgraded the battery tie down. Now I need to find one of those cool TRD billet oil caps that's not over $100.

    I had smart handles on the Jeep I traded in for the Tundra. Two years later I still grab the handle thinking my truck will unlock, then fumble like an idiot for my old fashioned remote.

    I also went backwards in tech from the 22 to the 17. For me it was lack of radar cruise. Putting it in cruise control with no radar cruise almost put me in the back of a few cars :cheers:

    Which one is this? I’ve had a tab opened for the charvonia ones for a few days but they’ve been consistently on pre order then today i noticed they went up in price! Closed that tab and won’t be buying them so curious what you got.

    That's one Coupe use to make and sell on the forums. I had one I wasn't using that i sold to him. @D3VA must have been waiting by the mailbox and installed as soon at it arrived. Lol.

    Is it possible to move to the TRD Pro grill and still keep my chrome?

    Yes if you remove the insert carefully without breaking the tabs.

    This is something I've done on all my trucks for years now: install a chest handle vertically just inside the tailgate. Makes climbing in the bed so much easier and just folds forward, but stops at 90 when open (remember: chest handle)20251024_215513.jpg

    My wife has a right shoulder injury and prefers to pull herself in with her left arm. The Tundra is her truck so I installed one on each side for us. I just used Fastenal stitch screws (think NPT meets self-drilling sheetmetal screws).20251024_215520.jpg

    Oh that's so much better, thank you! I've been avoiding AJT because one of my pet peeves is detailing cup holder areas (as if I clean my trucks very often!) and those bolt heads and everything around them will get filled with latte jizz.

    I found meso option to feel cheap and plastic clips have broken and parts become loose, I will be installing the AJT version soon and hope that option goes better.
