Congratulations on 100K! When you were talking about how your channel is DIY projects you do in "free time" is probably what I like most about your channel. You aren't in a shop, with all the power tools and endless supply of accessories. You're a 9 to 5-er like most of us, and are doing the work in a residential garage. I just goes to show how possible these projects are for the average person.
Congrats Chloe on 100k, well deserved... Maybe the best Tacoma channel, has been really helpful in upgrading my truck, especially the Pop & Lock video and recent tire size comparison.
If you fabricate a lid I'd suggest adding some low profile foam or rubber insulation around the edge to prevent water getting inside the compartment. Magnets are a great idea BTW!
You can replace the electrical tape with a rubber strip like they use on fender flares. It comes with 3M tape on it for an easy installation. Also you could use a clear plexiglass with magnets on the ends to give a cleaner look. You could also use the black rubber strip on it as well. You can also add black home door weather striping on top and bottom that is also put on with 3M tape. This would seal up the space between the two brackets you screwed on so that you stay dust free. I would also add that strip on the inside of the brackets to make a completely sealed plexiglass.
If I may add to the electrical tape finish ideas...the black plastic edging used as door edge protectors would work as well...just cut corners in a 45° fashion (like a picture frame) would give a real clean look.
Congrats on the 100K milestone! No Instagram for me, but my 2 fave videos you uploaded (and I installed) were the Seat Jackers and Cat Shield. I wish you continued success and Taco enjoyment!
Watching you blow up the past couple years has been so fun. Chloe you rock! Love the install too. Air compressors are so handy... even to help others that have flats. I carry a Smittybilt for now but something permanently mounted would be great.
One thing I would do differently cause I installed the all pro version is use a silicone sealant instead of the sticky tape to seal the extra holes. It did not last in the rain up here in the NW.
Your videos are awesome. What would be an even better series would be to show us how you trained your dog to help you when it put into place and held the compressor box. 🤣
You're so precious to us! I've just got my 2022 Tacoma Sports a few months ago, and found your videos, and yes I've made some improvements to this wonderful truck... Happy Wife Happy Life! Congratulations and please keep us up to date, and sharing all those wonderful people who help us stay safe, and happy on the roads of life.
Congratulations! Love your videos. Use some rubber channel around the edges . Trim like what is used around the front of the bumper when you cut it to install your front bumper
Congratulations Chloe 🎉🎈🥂!!! 100K!!! We watch your videos because you are awesome 👍!!! My favorite video was when you got Cody as a puppy 🐕 😀. I hope RU-vid sent you a plaque or something 🤷♂️. Keep up the great content Chloe! ♥️🌮🐶🐾
The first video I watched was about how you detail your wheels. I have the white lettering on my tires facing out and am always looking for a better way to clean them. I also like the wiring videos because I am not as comfortable with wiring and electrical projects. The only problem with the wiring videos is when you show the wiring diagram I have no idea what the different squiggly lines represent. I like older vehicles so I look forward to the land cruiser project. I find it helpful when you show some of the aftermarket products available and how useful they are.
Would it be a good idea to intall the fuse on the inside of the box rathet then at the back? And although the electric tape seems to really work well to cover the edges how would a U shaped hard plastic work for this purpose? But then again it might not be needed!? Also what about a cover for the end of tje brass fitting of the compressor? Amd finally for a cover magnets seem a great idea but what about 1 or 2 horizontal hindges at tje top with a magnet at the bottom too to keep it in the open position?
i just use a plug in compressor with the 120 volt outlet and an extension cord. I can set it up and sit in the drivers seat and watch the pressure gauge if its cold outside. its not as cool as this but cost me about 60 bucks and no work to modify the truck.
Love it I’m gonna do mine soon but you could take that electrical tape off and put the rubber u channel edge trim so it will look a lot more cleaner love all the stuff you do on your truck! Thanks for sharing!
Great job keep up the diy videos. Suggest you use fiberglass resin for the edges that you cut into the bed. It’ll help prevent fraying and after that is done you can put some rubber edging to help seal up the cover your going to put on.
Did you consider using door trim instead of electrical tape to cover edges...would be a little cleaner and wouldn't have to replace regularly due to weather.
I don't care what anyone says. I love your use of electrical tape. You are a great and well-rounded individual. You're smart, charming, beautiful, and your cheerfulness is like the whip topping. You're a great influencer, and I'm hoping my daughter looks up to you soon.
Congratulations Chloe, you certainly deserve it your videos are well done and informative. Because of your videos I upgraded several items on my Tacoma
I use my email all the time but used “Liberty” once. I don’t have much to say or add. My favorite video is when you added a fuse box to your taco. Congrats on your 100k. Your a very good video maker as well as a inspiration and instructor.
Chloe, Great video. I just bought a 2020 TRD OR and have binged your videos for two weeks. I have an off topic question from this video, What are the black and tan cases in the bed of your truck? Looking for storage options. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Great video, I'm getting ready to add OBA in the back of my truck, my concern is the size wires you ran, it seems that 10awg wire is to small, I noticed when you checked the voltage, you didn't have a full 12 volts... has that caused any problems?
The switch and air hose outlet fitting are not Particle when you fully load up the truck for camping ,it is very difficult to connect the air hose and when the item move around while driving, stuff may hit the switch Accidental turn it on, it is still a clean set up but need some improvement.
Congrats on the 100k! Favorite video would be the ones fitting the 285s. @Seoulrig. I ran my single Arb compressor in that same spot, cubby cover on, in my second Gen with a trifold. I had a lot of dust make it’s way int there and ended up removing it. Now it’s in a hard case, still in the bed.
Congrats on 100k! My favorite video would be the desert does it seat jackers, or the oil change tools. I found your channel researching them. If I could make a recommendation, you should do a video for the Z precision 32oz cup holder mod. Pretty simple install, small buisness, something that honestly should’ve come standard on the tacoma. @Coldpunk
It might’ve been nice to just have the quick connect for sticking out and have the whole compressor hidden behind the fiberglass. Do you think that would’ve worked?
I cannot for the life of me find the video where you described what you used to secure the pro eagle pole to the side of your truck. Could you tell me what it is again?
Yuuuppp. Congrats on hitting 100,000 Sub's!!!! Dual batteries would be nice, to run those extra accessories. Just saying from 40 year's of off-roading experience. 🙂😀😃💯👋🤞✌️👌👍☝️🤙🙌👏🙏
I can see two minor problems that may come up. Anything moving around in the bed could hit the switch just turning it on or worse damaging it. Second problem is similar with the hose connector. Perhaps install the switch in the box and turn the connector 90 degrees to keep them out of the way of accidental damage.
