    Mike, get the latest year you can would likely be the best condition, Tacoma 2012-2018, not sure about 4R.

    Done. Before/after, blacked it out while I was at it. Literally takes around 15min if you don't do the blackout part. Steering wheel puller isn't a must, loosen the nut a little, knock the wheel at the outer edges, it'll come off, then finish undoing the bolt.

    The leather does feel nice, if it's worth it over plastic to anyone is ymmv. I sorta already knew the difference as my wife's Lexus has a leather wheel.

    Ya it is, because you are using everything you already had. Only the wheel is being replaced, the Taco silver plastic pieces, controls, wires don’t go in the Tundra.

    2 bucket wash always shocks me, even when I think its clean. It's probably the best and easiest "mod" to do for any car or truck. Saves a lot of work down the road for our paint

    I need to do this. Great job. What size pans did you use? I saw someone used 4 inch deep and seemed to work with a plywood base

    Ha ha I know, gotcha, guess paybacks a B lol. Hey I'm guessing it served its purpose for ya the same way it's still serving its purpose for me. Least with that I don't feel like I gotta replace the wheel immediately like I was feeling before it. Wasn't too expensive, didn't look horrible, and we can probably pass it along and either make someone else happy or sell it and get most it back. Least with the valley comfy I can take my time and wait for that sweet deal u found. Only problem, just like my sliders, the deals don't always fall in my lap, they're long painful searches with the bad luck I got going for me usually.

    She hasn’t been washed in a month or so. I had to drive her around quite a bit while the Corolla was in the body shop for hail damage repairs.

    I'm closing in on a month since my last wash, its filthy. I havent had a rain free day off for weeks and the 2 or 3 days I did have I had a full schedule. This weekend looks promising. Full wash and I'll try out the beadmaker that @War Machine sent me. Been dying to try it.

    It's well known you have one of the best rear ends on all of tundras.com

    If I didn't know any better I'd say your truck is ceramic or glass coated. You do a great job of keeping it looking great man!

    Oh realllly? I wanted to do hydro2 before the snow flies. It's great knowing the beadmaker goes on over it well. I'll be doing that later this month. Thanks man!!! And from your pics I agree that it looks slicker than the reload. I love reload becauee it lasts so long, but would love that wetter look.
