    It will take a much harder hit then the pos stock bumper, no telling how hard of hit tho. It does not effect getting to the spare.

    Not sure what you mean by it is unfinished?

    Over the past few days I took off the factory mud flaps, painted the front brake calipers red, and swapped the factory stereo head unit for a Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD. Install was pretty easy even with the steering wheel control & JBL interfaces. I'll get some photos soon.

    EDIT: Here's a few quick shots. Truck is dirty after some rain the past two days, and I still need to cut the rest of the stock grill out from behind the GrillTec ;)

    LED conversion on every accessible bulb, TRD exhaust (dealership threw in for free along with the Blu-Logic).
    I just finished wiring up my switchback LEDs in the front DRL / Turn / Hazard location.

    http://youtu.be/myXc_uHuLkI

    Involved buying the Toyota 3157 light socket to replace the 3156 socket on the DRLs. Basically giving me the high / low circuit for the lights to illuminate white to match my white LED corner markers. Amber flashes when turn signal or hazard is activated.

    Mine had 4157 bulbs in there when I took delivery, they are of a higher wattage than 3157. I don't have an issue with heat now with the "switchback" LEDs in there now.
