Did the cold feet-heat vent drivers side fix (like pictured below) out some old tin I had laying around. Turned out well and hope it works. Heading up to do some ice fishing and want warm feet.

I think about a 1 inch by 1 inch door should do.
That's brilliant, thank you for a great tip.

I loved everything about my 2020 Tacoma, except actually driving the damn thing. Traded it in for what I originally paid, minus TTL.
That's why they put TuRD right on the side.
So they can say we warned you.

Default Cut up my Grille

So I accidentally snapped one of the plastic tabs that holds the horizontal piece on my grill when I changed the headlights.
I was going to just cut all the tabs and remove the upper and lower trim and replace with mesh when I found billet aluminum inserts...
I like how it turned out

Gave it a "Hobo" bath in 34 degree temps just to get most of the road salt off.

Finally installed my Access TonneauSport bed cover. Seems to be good quality for being relatively inexpensive.

I have had the same cover for 3 years and still looks like the day I installed it. It is an excellent quality tonneau cover. I treat it with "303" occasionally and it's good to go.

Nice to know, do you have to tighten it often?

Ran mine through the car wash. Road salt and dirt was horrendous.
After I got home I found all kinds of black specks all over the tailgate. Never seen them before in winter, stuck firmly, managed to get half off with a cloth. Like I just ran through a bunch of cold patch spots, like tar. High of 35F. Next time it’s above 40F, I’ll be out with the clay bar ;(
