Pretty much all wired up. My friend helped with the wiring, which makes this a lot easier / reliable.



Installed:


Some gotchas for the install:
Wiring the adapters is pretty much color matching. Blue wire from antenna adapter goes the head unit and the blue wire from the main harness isn't used. Brown wire from steering wheel adapter goes to steering wheel control on the HU. I grounded the parking brake wire.

Take time with removal, there a good video on youtube.

The metra dash kit is a bit fickle. I used the screws from the stock HU to attach the brackets. It took some adjusting to get the fit right. Reuse the bottom two white clips from the stock unit.

I ran the GPS and mic through the glove box and up the passenger side. Mic wire is easy to tuck into headliner.

 

Did the diff breather mod. I don't have an access panel behind the gas cap, so I had to reach behind the wheel well. I see some threads where people used the access box in the bed as opposed to the gas cap, but it worked out fine for me. Ready for some wheelin.

 

Toytec Boss lift, black fj trail teams, and 275s going on now. Hopefully have her back soon. Pics to follow.

 

Sneak peak of the coilovers on. Looking forward to seeing the final package.



All done, really happy with how it turned out

 

Relentless Hi Lift Mount

 

AAL started to squeak a bit after a few weeks. Some targeted lithium grease took care of that.

 

Dipped the badges and rear bumper

 

installed the wheelersoffroad rear brake lines last night. Driver's side fit perfectly. Even after some filing on the passenger side I wasn't able to get a perfect fit. I may go back to it but its on good enough for now.

 

First wheeling trip up at All Wheels in Maine. Good time, we didn't go only anything too crazy and had some fun in the mud. No steps or front flaps for the trip.

 

Installed a color matched front grill with grillcraft. Haven't moved the horns or blacked anything out yet.

 

Another Pyrite Mica!

 

relocated horns/ temp sensor and painted the radiator black.


Before:



Horns / sensor moved



Painted radiator. It looks bootleg in this picture, I think partially the light. I didn't paint the color matched body pieces



You can see the difference now with the grille on vs unpainted

 

Truck is clean! Nicely Done!

 

Nice truck. The rims and tires look really good with that color.

 

thanks guys. I'm happy with how its turning out. I can't decide if I should keep or ditch the TRD sticker.

 

Looks great that's wiring is on point! Good to see when people actually care for neatness when comes to wiring
Overall perfect height IMO

 

Thanks. I can't take credit for the wiring. Hopefully I can wire my off road lights as well as this.

 

added the BAMF behind the grille light bar mount with 4 hella 500ff lights controlled by the tundra parts rocker switch.








switch

 

Looks great, Only thing I would change is go LED instead of Hella's behind the grille. Less than half of the current draw and much brighter. Also they are rated at 20,000 to 50,000 hrs use.
