For the gas cap, all i did was pull it out a little further, where the metal clip is, I slide the strap line between the clip and it holds it up too. Money save sir

[@TheOneFrom93]

I was going to type this, been doing this for years. Common sense isn't so common no more

[@everythingoff-road6637]

Laughed so hard when I saw that

[@Alex-lx2pg]

Some great accessories Rob! All small items, but they make quite a BIG difference! It's details like these that makes a vehicle stand out from the others. I really like how they made the emblem as a cover vs having to remove the old one. I didn't expect that. So much easier for installation! Exhaust tip looks great! Night and day difference from the original bare pipe look. :)

[@RobsAutos]

Thank you! Love the exhaust tip, such an easy and simple fix. The emblems being a cover is definitely a game changer in terms of easy to use!

[@Nick-qj4su]

Good choices, key fob case change is a nice and cheap add on as well. Dresses up the look of the basic looking factory key fob but doesn't alter any of the functions

[@RobsAutos]

I hear good things about the key fob change too!

[@alexmflores]

That gas cap insert attempt was hilarious

[@tonychaney6513]

Welcome to the Taco world. Nice video. A must have is the window louvres here in the south.

[@RobsAutos]

Thank you! Oh that is a good one to consider!

[@zacharymatheny5443]

I put an order in last week for my 22' tacoma, also went with lunar rock. Only difference is that I went with a 6 foot bed, and its the sport trim. Now I wait.... hopefully I get it before August! lol

[@RobsAutos]

Awesome configuration! Fingers crossed it doesn’t take that long!

[@PsychoticBovine]

Waiting for my TRD Sport in Lunar Rock Should be this week! 4x4. First mod will be a Lomax Tri-fold tonneau cover. Plan to add a stealth off road light, led interior lights, and the meso tail light harness and led bulbs. Mine already has the led headlights coming from the factory. Also, already purchased a console safe for my carry pistol.

[@christianb.4517]

Awesome truck! And the lunar rock is just beautiful. I have the same truck as you but a 2020 white exterior which I love too. Some of the mods I love the most is my red push to start buttom and you should absolutely get the trd pro shift knob. It will make a huge difference. Keep making more videos. Just subbed.

[@RobsAutos]

That trd pro shift knob looks really nice! Will definitely be looking into it! Thanks for the support!

[@frisko430]

Yo man Im getting that exact Tacoma tomorrow so I’m glad I found your videos

[@CaddE]

That minor / unseen mod is the best thing. Lol

[@RobsAutos]

Agreed 😅

[@onemannation4321]

i have a 2022 tacoma i add tint,tyger bed cover and center console organizer with wirless charger it says in amazon dosnt fit 2022 but it thoes and work perfect,i also order husky and weathertech floor liners to see wich one is better,also order fuel cap holder and hitch cover

[@cavitating1]

Good mods and excellent presentation. Looking forward to your next videos. One tip, make the sunlight work for you and not against you.

[@RobsAutos]

Thank you! Man! The sunlight was being EXTRA harsh that day lol. I prefer cloudy days the most.

[@MPGunther1]

Loved the choices and thanks for the links

[@RobsAutos]

No problem! Thanks!

[@erickim2025]

Nice accessories you got but what about the tailgate lock to keep thieves from stealing the tailgate ?

[@RobsAutos]

So I actually bought one off the forums, haven’t tried it yet though! I was thinking I might get some Amazon ones and try those too

[@jmyers6175]

Good suggestions , thanks. I like the gas cap holder and bed mat.

[@jimmy301]

Nice truck Rob. I have the same exact model. Thanks for posting this video

[@RobsAutos]

thanks for watching!

[@JermsDNA]

Awesome first mods Rob!! I would do them too if I had a Taco. 😁

[@RobsAutos]

So easy to do too!

[@CarlsGarage1]

nice truck Rob! I like the color!

[@RobsAutos]

Thank you!

[@JM10344]

This was cool. Thank you.

[@creedmoor9997]

Great vid thx

[@Popwarner-x1w]

I'm thinking about just removing my chrome emblems. With goo gone. 3 bucks and a little elbow grease

[@albertlibricz1819]

Nice truck BAK Industries makes a nice tonneau cover for it. Hard cover role back good security feature.

[@RobsAutos]

Thanks! I have seen it! Definitely a nice one, may go trifold though since the retractable ones take up about a foot of bed space

[@albertlibricz1819]

I bought one for my truck still have to put it on. 5 year warranty too.

[@DJXPLRS]

Nice Mods!

[@Dude17768]

Shit my first mods on my 22 trd offroad was a diamond back hd cover, and then my second mod was cbi rock sliders lol. Buy once cry once, saving for a suspension and wheels and bigger tires now.

[@RobsAutos]

Actually just narrowing down a tonneau now, then finding rock sliders that don't have a 4 month lead time haha

[@chaseharner7889]

Looking good! Did you end up getting ppf done?

[@RobsAutos]

Thank you! I did get it done!

[@Imtired_AF]

How are u liking the lunar rock color still?

[@RobsAutos]

Still loving it!

[@Imtired_AF]

@@RobsAutos i just bought 2023 lunar rock trd OR im following your mods so i can make my truck look nice thanks for your videos im in california i like watching your videos

[@Dan-gf4pt]

Next time on Robs Autos: Supercharging the Tacoma

[@RobsAutos]

I wish

[@joelhamrick8237]

What is the color called of your Tacoma?

[@RobsAutos]

Lunar rock

[@hahtsauce]

please stop calling your truck a car

[@BBB4416]

Have all those mods too except the gas cap one , I just run the cord through the clip and hold it that way

[@shannonbraden4017]

What it's designed for. Stuns me how many ppl don't know. Lol

[@MrElmo01us]

I actually like chrome but mine is blacked out but I’m not one who feels they have to chrome delete everything

[@RobsAutos]

Very true! I just like matching!

[@onemannation4321]

And because my truck is black im going to order the black letters and black exhaust tip and trd pro grill

[@onemannation4321]

Next will be seat covers and carbon fiber inserts for dash,center console,and doors and front bumper with led bar

[@teenelomz9402]

I just did a few of these mods myself> However I was able to find the tailgate insert and the black outs on Etsy for much cheaper

[@philipjones5364]

What about anti theft tailgate lock.

[@RobsAutos]

honestly when I did this video, I had no idea tailgate theft was an actual issue lol. I will be doing a part 2 soon though with it included.

[@philipjones5364]

@@RobsAutos Yes it has become an issue in some parts of the country. There are ways to make it harder for thieves to steel. I believe on some Tacoma models you can lock the tailgate but if left unlocked it can easily be stolen because they are removable. I subscribed to your channel and can’t wait for my Tacoma off road to arrive.

[@Doc1855]

The bed mats are currently on back order EVERYWHERE and it’s $170 for the 6’ bed from Toyota

[@nelsonschroeder2842]

Welcome to the Tacoma family. I have a 2022 TRD Off Road in Super White. I have all of those mods as well. I bought the blackout lettering off Amazon and paid around $40 for everything including the Tailgate letters. For interior mods look at the glovebox organizer and the center console organizers. I also put on a Truxedo roll up tonneau cover and Go Rhino side steps.

[@RobsAutos]

Thanks for the welcome! Will look into those. Thanks!

[@Sals_Garage]

Informative video Rob. Congrats on the truck and house again 👍

[@RobsAutos]

Thank you!

[@roccol5360]

Great video thanks!

[@deplorablechump8758]

The blackout package is only $25 or so on Amazon

[@RobsAutos]

OEM? I must have missed it

[@brettmaxson7695]

Are those the tires that come standard with TRD off road?

[@RobsAutos]

Yes, stock tires

[@gettingpast4391]

pipe tips are just so dumb lol. like a clothes pin and a card on a spoked wheel. Nice truck though, should have mine in a month or so... and it has that silly pipe tip (not by choice)

[@RobsAutos]

Remember the tip isn't even for sound, I doubt it does anything in that department. purely for looks!

[@rhbowhunter]

Love the mods I did all those to my 2020 Off Road I also put the bed lights in every easy install plug and play

[@Kauaiboy13]

Truck looks awesome. Just got my 23’ off-road double cab in lunar rock and MT. Love the truck. So far I de-badged the exterior, did interior LEDs and foot well aqua VLeDs. Rough country seat covers. Husky front floor liners. Got a bunch more small stuff coming in for the interior. Scored the mud flaps from the dealership they accidentally installed it on my truck when it wasn’t included 😂 keep up the good work and thanks for the info 🤙🏼

[@charlesable2792]

will they stay on if you run it through a car wash

[@RobsAutos]

Will what stay on?

[@tachoma8493]

Bed light. Plug and play .

[@RobsAutos]

Definitely looking into it

[@northerntoyota7584]

In a couple days that exact truck is arriving for me. The gas cap, just hang the gas cap strap over the clip on the door that you tried to put cap over. My 2020 tundra is the same setup And that works fine.

[@RobsAutos]

Awesome! Yeah I tried the gas strap way too, just figured why not try something new.

[@serenedelusions]

Thanks for the video, new sub and they say this is the week my 2022 should arrive!

[@RobsAutos]

Thank you! And that’s awesome! Enjoy!

[@Rj-bc8sn]

I bought those black emblem coverings for my 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD off road lunar rock swell and I am concerned that they will scratch the paint since the plastic surrounding the lettering is pressing not the paint. What is your opinion on this? thanks in advance

[@RobsAutos]

I looked at mine and it seemed like the emblems were stopping just before they reached the paint. I can see the thinnest line of chrome when I look at it from the side, indicating it isn't completely covering the emblem.

[@Rj-bc8sn]

@@RobsAutos same with mine but there is some areas that do indeed touch the paint. Hopefully our paint doesn’t end up scratched

[@richardburns9772]

They still got rear drums?

[@RobsAutos]

Yes, still rear drums

[@richardburns9772]

@@RobsAutos in 2022?! That’s hilarious

[@Popwarner-x1w]

I have another great modification. Delete the seatbelt reminder buzzer. Who the heck wants that. I decide if I want to wear the seatbelt or not.

[@martineli312]

Traded mine In for a full size lifted f150, best mod ever.

[@RobsAutos]

Lol those are fun too

[@TwoWheelNinja]

A fool and his money are easily separated

[@lohengrinknight]

Of all those things, the only one worth buying was the mud flaps.
