What did you do TO / WITH your 4th gen Tacoma today?! 👨‍🏭 🧰 📸

[Astewart23]

Installed the Baja Designs Squadron Pro ditch light kit, and used the Baja Designs upfitter harness for the Tacoma which makes it super easy. These things are bright, just have to wait till it gets dark to adjust them.

Still sitting for another 2 weeks while I wait on PPF appointment. Ordered Dr. Colorchip kit for transport chips on rear spoiler. Scheduled PDR for a ding, also courtesy of transport. Truck rear must have been facing transport truck front.

Nice!! Looks fantastic. I got a set of the squadron sports order to match the S2 Fog kit !

Bought her some new wheels! Of course the typical Methods, nothing too unique. But, it's an amazing style for thes trucks and comes in some good offsets. These are the +35 17x8.5s 703s.

Will mount them with 285/70 or 75s, still undecided at the moment. Leaning towards the 75s.

Still going to run dedicated snow tires for this winter on the OEM wheels. Save these big beasts for the spring/summer/fall. Even though a lot of the ATs are "3 peak" rated, I still don't think I can live without my dedicated Blizzaks in the area I live in.

Had a ceramic coating applied to my Trailhunter. Loving it so far. Will see how it fairs over time.

So far, (small) added the console tray and console "hidden compartment" in the lid to help with organization, seeing as how the storage in these trucks is not great. Also did ceramic coating/tint and added the GoRhono D6 Dominator Runnig Boards

Did you have any issues getting this done? I'm thinking about doing it myself vs paying $1,400 for a professional, but I'm concerned about messing it up. Have you done it before or was this your first time? I've done multi-step prep/wax before, but never ceramic.

I've done it 4 times before. No issues with doing it. It is very time consuming though. Make sure you do it on a cool day with good sunlight/ lighting. You need to buff off the excess ceramic coat or it will show high areas. Heat will make the ceramic coat seal unevenly. Shade will hide the high spots before you can buff them out. Id just watch a few YouTube videos of the ceramic coat of your choice. Start with the tailgate and go from there.

Thanks for the tips. I live in a forest, so I wouldn't do it outdoors (tree debris, and dust). It would be in my garage, which this time of year would be in the 50's and 60's. I figure even if the supplies cost a couple hundred $$ it would still be worth my time to do it myself, as long as I can get it done right.

Picked up my TRD pro today. I have a few things to put on it, but had a 3hr drive home after getting the new toy so not on yet…

PIOs: Toyota OEM roof rack and tonneau trifold bed cover

Stuff to install:
1) Proclip phone mount and mag charger to have at a better spot than the stock installed one for when I need to actually touch the phone (mount - https://www.proclipusa.com/products/toyota-tacoma-center-dash-mount & charger - https://www.proclipusa.com/products/magicmount-charge-elite-wireless-phone-holder-mount) [I did use the built in Qi charger to charge my phone on my drive home and it was not bad at all for a long trip where my phone stays down; but for city red lights/traffic, I like to be able to tap on it at steering wheel level]
2) glovebox organizer - cheap Amazon one to just have quick access to multitool, flashlight, napkins/tissues, etc (https://a.co/d/6T0p2Ba)
3) center console shelf to have quick access to my usual items I need like my glasses cleaning kit, work parking sensor/remote, removable change holder cause I still live near a few coin tolls, etc (https://a.co/d/doybeo8)
4) center console lid storage - regain the 2” of space in the lid of the center console, though I might return for a molle piece to clip EDC stuff like my knife with window punch and seatbelt cutter/trauma shears/skeletool (https://a.co/d/9rtG8eD)
5) trash bags for the hook on the passenger side (GNEGNI 2PCS Car Garbage Can,... )
6) some cosmetic stuff - a. decals for empty buttons (even the Pro has 3 empty spaces), b. License plate covers, c. Heritage emblems for grill, d. Push start cover e. Rear window decal
7) Screen Protech touch screen and display covers (https://screenprotech.com/cart)
8) took advantage of Amazon Big Deals event and got a Jackery battery and solar charger, bathroom/shower tent and toilet, travel fridge/freezer that fits under bed cover (12v lighter or stand plug), camp table and cook space/sink, new blanket and pillow, heated sleeping bag pad for the wife, etc
9) not a physical upgrade but one I hope will be really useful for exploring - On X Off-road subscription for trails and camping
10) Redline Tuning - quick lift hood hydraulic struts (https://www.redlinetuning.com/2024-Toyota-Tacoma-Hood-QuickLIFT-PLUS-p/21-27022-02.htm)
11) LasFit LED Switchback turn signal (https://www.lasfit.com/products/2024-toyota-tacoma-7444-led-front-turn-signals)
12) Custom Key Fob Covers (https://www.etsy.com/listing/1739739738/)

Next to buy:
1) tonneau tri-flip cover compatible bed bars
2) tent for bed bars
3) spray in bed liner and bed mat

Most importantly: getting this badass truck on the beach to camp and fish, trails to camp and hike, make memories with the girls and friends!

Finished up the Pike Bumper.

Just installed the NYTOP dump exhaust. Took less than 10 minutes, and gets rid of that dump truck of an exhaust. Jacked it up from the hitch, and it goes nice and smooth. Little pricey, but the titanium, and the quality is worth it IMO.
Tried getting the trailhunter exhaust but it was gonna take well over a month or more to get it.
Slight sound difference but not to much.
