Can i use the same process for the 2023 Tacoma TRD Sport ?
I was very impressed! I’ll definitely look into getting on. You did a great job explaining the installation process.
Great video. Thank you.
For almost $700 you would think they could at least use some real rail hardware or at least the right size bolt instead of having an inch plus of bolt sticking out. Kinda ridiculous.
Hi thanks for watching my video and for the comment! I guess they intended it if you need to add future accessories? I'm not sure actually why it's longer.
Is it safe to use quick splice connectors instead?
Hi thanks for watching my video! Yes that should work as well.

Thanks for sharing this! The price was too good to not order this, I got out the "Instruction Manual" and was thinking some trial and error was going to be done! 😂
kabayan, i like your contents...i have tacoma 2021 trd sports and planning to set up for overlanding.. you are also from canada sana may meet up pra masaya.. i have also 2015 4runner sr5 lifted...by the way magkano kuha mo sa skid plate plate mo...ok ba ang quality nya?
Will this work on a sr5
Did this improve sound quality over the phone?
I noticed that the bracket pulls away from the hood when you lift it.The other brand I looked at had 2 way tape holding down the bracket.I have the same style that you have so I am going to add some tape to help secure the bracket.Thanks for the video because the instructions suck.

What happened to ur grill lights?
great mods- questions- what side steps are you using? looking to add to my taco
Thank you! I'm using the predator steps from Toyota. Here's the link: amzn.to/3KzZrKc
Hi there just got my 2022 trd off-road today just wondering if you have link to Amazon the Tacoma overlay thank you and I love you Tacoma .
Hi thank you for the comment! Congrats on your Tacoma! I’ll find the link later today and post it here!
@@themandiyrin hi there did you get the link to the Amazon and how’s the black overlay is it holding good ? Thanks again

The 3RD GEN 2022 Tacoma I had to grilled a hole and rivet it. The 2024 Tacoma no drilled required bs.
How is this OEM? Toyota claims OEM genuine don’t require drilling.
Because I bought it from Toyota? How does it attach if you don't have to drill?
@@themandiyrin My point to Toyota dealership, they never replied.
Thanks for the video. How much of this would apply to a 2018 Tacoma extended cab with manual transmission? What is the brand of the camera, and where did you obtain it? Does it provide any memory to use as a dash camera? Do they make a version that I could use in a 2016 Mazda 6?
Hi! This will work on the 2018. Please click my link in the description for the camera purchase. I’m not sure about the Mazda, does it have apple car play right now?
Will this work on a 2019 Tacoma trd off-road?
Yes it will!!
Trailgridpro thank me latter
Thanks for doing this informative video. It was one of the better ones I've viewed. Two small suggestions: 1) drop the irritating music. DIY vids don't need a sound track. I was tempted to stop viewing within the first minute. 2) When you are demonstrating the camera performance, I would have preferred to view this at normal speed, not at 2x or whatever you used. Again thanks.
Cool deal you I'd great
Awesome vid! Now i dont need a spotter when i trail ride😂
Haha thanks for watching my video! Yes that’s a good point!
I picked up this kit this weekend. Thanks for putting up this video, it's going to help with the install.
Thanks for watching my videos! No problem at all, let me know if you have questions and check out my upcoming video installs!
Where can I buy those foam seals? Mine got lost :(
Mine are starting to get paint-chipped over time now. 😢 the worse thing was, when I installed those badges, I did put some heavy duty glue on the back as well. So i dont think I'll be able to remove thosed badges. I guess I should bring my truck to a custom paint shop for them to repaint those badges
Oh no I'm sorry to hear that! Luckily mine is in perfect condition still! The double sided adhesive It came with is also holding for me
How is it holding up over time? And does it cause any rust on your roof or your rack? Because some people complained getting rust on the rack over time. And do you think I should go for the Prinsu Pro roof rack or this version is fine? Tks
Hi thanks for the comment! My roof rack is in great condition! No rust. However, the bolts they used did rust in some spots. Specially the one attaching to the truck. I did replace them with stainless steel that you can buy from Amazon. Let me know if you need the link in the future.
@@themandiyrin oh yes please. I think I might need those stainless steel ones in the future when I buy roof rack for this coming Black Friday. Many thanks in advance.
Where did you get that cat hoodie lol?
Haha COSTCO
What size tires and lift do you have.
Great video and straight to the point...Taco cloud should do something like this for the rearview mirror
Thank you for watching my video and the kind words. Yes I hope they do in the future! I would like to try more products from them as they were nicely made.
any issues with heat? I heard camera goes blank after driving around in the heat, and we get lots of heat here...
Hi thanks for watching my video! Luckily I have not had the issue here as I live in slightly colder weather in Canada.
I installed this in my 2016 Tacoma several years ago. It worked fine on the road but I had trouble that looked like overheating whenever I went wheeling. I haven’t found a solution yet but mfr sent me a second kit to try. That goes I this month.
Thanks for the video ! I have that same stiffy mount , I actually prefer that location better, downside is no wireless charging , if only there was a mounting option that also charged our phone and hid the wire , any ideas ??
Dude must be a chemistry teacher, because this is AS in depth you have to be when doing chemistry.
Haha thank you for watching my video! I try to be detailed as much as I can lol!
I love the content of your channel, so I subscribed
Thank you for watching and the kind words! Appreciate it!
I have a personalized license plate frame that says: BORN FREE TAXED 2 DEATH
Haha love it! That's so true!
I ordered same lights how long did it take for then to come in?
They came pretty quick for me! I'd like to say within the week if I recall correctly.
@themandiyrin just got them in today took about 8 days not bad at all! Thanks for the discount promo on I think it was lights or maybe my billiebars.!
Hi! Great to hear! Your welcome, I got discount codes for both. Hope the install goes well, don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions! Have a great weekend
So what about using the jack point with it now being covered? Can you use it thru the skid plate?
So what about using the main front jack point now that is covered? Can you lift the truck with it on now?
Hi thanks for watching my video, you can still lift it with this on. I personally use the side jack points but if you use the front one, it’s still possible.
I have one question if you happen to drive it through a car wash will the brushes knock off the stick on’s
Hi thanks for watching my video. No issues on it falling off!
Why not just do a Guild outfitters 400w anytime with an outlet mod? Still a great addition though. 👍
Will consider it for future installs! Thanks for the suggestion and watching my videos!
Would this work with after market stereos? I have a 4th gen 4Runner
Thanks for watching my videos. Apologies, I've never tried this with aftermarket radio and the kit is made specifically for the OEM plug ins so I'm leaning towards not. Ill contact the company and find out for you.
Dose the year have a play in this? I have an 03
This should work with your 03 just the fuse will be located on a different location
How is it working now? Still using it? Is there any lagging? Thanks
I still use it to this daily! No major lagging, every now and then but that might be due to my phone! Highly recommend still.
You can shut off the signal from the fob not needing the Faraday bag. Just by holding a few of the remote buttons simultaneously. Look it up.
Thanks for watching my video and got the tip. I use both methods. I find it easier to remember to put the key in the bag (bag is hung on my key holder) then remembering to press the bottoms every single time (as I don’t wanna completely abandon the feature). I use the faraday at home and use the button method when I’m out and about not carrying the bag.
It doesn't work with my fob I can't figure out why
Will this work with a 2023 TRD Sport? I currently have a Quadlock Car Play adapter that supposedly works but does not.
I currently use the Motorolla M1A. It will randomly disconnect and reconnect for interface im assuming. It doesnt happen every time I drive, and seems to be worse in crowded areas. Do you have any disconnect issues with this one?
Hi thanks for watching my video. So far I haven't had many disconnect issues with this. Although I haven't tested it much on crowded places. I will keep you posted if I do in the near future.
!FIRE HAZARD! DO NOT DO THIS! Two problems... 1) Tapping into a line with a 10A/15A fuse with a 30A outlet 😂 does not work. Sure, my 300W inverter will power on. It just won't max out. It will likely blow the fuse in the engine bay. 2) Tapping into the original console outlet's much smaller gauge wire WILL be a fire hazard. It's great at 10A, not 30A draw. Not even 20A. This needs to be homerun to the fuse box or battery. NOTE: With power, only figure having 80% of whatever the rating is; 30A * 12V = 360W * 80% = 288W usable. Constantly going over 80% is somewhere between a shortened life span of the electronics to a fire.
Hi thanks for watching my video and for your comments. I appreciate the knowledge and will look into your points. Luckily, I've been using this for over a year and the phone charges as quick as it's plugged in my outlet wall (i.e., it doesn't just turn on, it actually charges). In the year since my install, I also have not noticed any effects on the device itself and have not blown the fuse once (note that this truck is my daily driver and used a lot). I could try to wire it through my battery when I do my next accessory install to avoid potential issues you're mentioning. I also have seen similar installs with a lot of other Tacoma channels so I'm wondering what their experience is.
after seeing him tap into the usb wires... i came looking for someone mentioning this issue in the comments. I'd pulll 5-10amps such as charging a phone or a radar detector, but not gonna even think about pulling 360-400w through it.
Very informative, excellent work.
Thank you for watching my video and the kind words!
Do you have to torque it? I changed front diff oil and dont think they used torque wrench
Hi thanks for watching my video! Yes I did torque it!
Good video keep up the work.
