    Can someone who has never wired anything figure out how to wire these up? Do they come with wiring directions? Doesn't say so in the Amazon ad.

    Watch some YouTube videos. I have soldered and wired switches and LEDs on my motorcycle and truck without ever having done it prior. Lights will be easy

    Yes
    I just ended up splicing mine into my existing wire harness for my fog lights in the grill. They don't need a lot of power. I also just ran my wiring down the channel running down the side of the windshield and down to the engine bay. Some black Gorilla tape to hold it on and done. Not perfect or the prettiest but I suck at wiring too! :D

    There are lots of grommets in the access cab floor as well, this one was a drainage tube and leads right next to the exhaust I should probably shield the wire so it doesn't melt

    Also running a line out converter isnt going to produce the cleanest bass reproduction.

    No I'm totally open to mounting locations for the amp and the sub. I was thinking between the two access seats for both

    Finally got my wheels back about week ago, but with all the rain Maryland has gotten I had to wait to clean her up and get some pictures. I decided to have my factory Sport rims powder coated Anthracite, then I derped the Toyota emblem red. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. I also gave her a full detail with Adams Buttery Wax and Adams Paint Sealant.
