I would like to fabricate some sort of platform to add to the top of this, so that when the seats are folded up, I can pop a dog bed down there for the pup.
If it was thin enough, would the seats be able to be lowered onto it?
Curious what the blue tape is marking out - do you have to drill holes for this install? It's odd that Toyota didn't at least leave us a flat surface under the Hybrid's seats.... this seems like an easy aftermarket addition.
Seller I talked to today says it can be wired up to come on with the reverse lights only, or have the read halos on with the running lights as well, or have the whole thing on the interior switch, depending how you want it set up.
I also canceled my order for now just to wait until rigid figures it out and the vendor I was working with has some great ideas about how the lights might be controlled. So until I get the truck and see what I’m working with and rigid figure figures out what they are doing. I’m going to stand by.
Interesting regarding the rear seat and TY for the video - mainly I wonder how easy it is to remove or fold the seat up to for the doggo to use occasionally. And maybe put some sort of platform there to give him a place to sit.
Do the TH rear seats still fold up (even though the battery is there) to have a flat platform? Or are the seat cushions fixed and the only option is to fold the taller portion down semi-flat?
Some information from TW on these here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/what-have-you-done-to-your-4th-gen-today.834072/page-35#post-30101181
"I installed Rigid Industries kit for the steal bumper cut-outs on the ARB bumper that comes on the TH and Pro. Very pricey. The good: the lights are...
Seems like these were planned for the truck and cost cutting happened. All good.
FWIW Specialty Performance Parts sells these, no tax, free shipping, and 1st responder discount = $380.
The Bronze Oxide above is what I've been waiting for! Looks good! I just passed on an Underground - was tempting but I didn't want to compromise on the color at the last minute.
