    Haven't really figured it out yet but there are different settings on that screen and on that setting it tells me what road I'm on and the speed limit with a compass. I haven't used the Navi on the center console yet! 113 degrees!!! probably with humidity too ya? Nice and dry here! So much for El Ninyo!

    Took it out for a spin and they are as bright as the headlights if not more.
    Lit peoples oncoming faces up around 20 ft away but didn't get flashed. probably was too late for them so ended up lowering the beam to find a happy medium. These are extremely bright in a good way.
    Now I can see where I'm going in the mountains roads where I live.
    Definitively a safety upgrade for me.

    That's exactly what I was hoping to hear. Thanks for the follow up report, these are now on the list.

    Speaking of the compass... Does anyone know if Toyota are aware of how annoying it is that the red needle points the direction you're traveling, and North is always up?

    I wonder if the person who created it knows how a compass works. I can't use the damn thing because it gets me so worked up.
    Would it be so hard to make the needle point north and the direction I'm traveling be ahead?!

    Not bad to install . Replaces originals completely.
    Assemble new lights to new supplied brackets, Two phillips screws to remove/install and plug them in.
    Took 40 minutes to get it done as they are semi-hard to access.

    Just what it sounds like. An aluminum block that gets sandwiched in between the league Springs and axle.

    If you're talking about on the head unit, there's a button for that. It's called the compass button...

    Sold my stock wheels and tires to a buddy in need. Tacoma Stockers on his Tundra came out nice!

    Yup it was Claremont, since your in Victorville I would recommend Crown Toyota Ontario for service. After all John Elway owns the dealership. They might have some class and respect for their clients.

    I literally had to tell the advisor they have an opportunity to make this situation better by having the truck washed since they had it for 5 hours. And it's ultimately up to them if they want to do it or not. Thankfully I got to drive home in a clean truck.

    I still need to go in Tuesday to drop off the truck for the hood repairs. Hoping I get a comparable loaner during the process.

    I didn't take one yet.

    I plan on installing TC UCA's tomorrow so I'll take pics then and upload sound of possible.

    Cool, I didn't like how the stock exhaust pipe is routed along the crossmembers next to tranny, exhaust pipe is lower than the cross members and seems vulnerable to getting damage when offroading. I plan to get a skid plate for tranny & transfer case to protect this section of exhaust pipe. I am disappointed in Toyota on that little detail

    Yeah, it's one of the farnorthbydesign TRD decals. I brought it to an auto glass repair shop and took them over 5 hours to put on. I'd recommend getting it done professionally.
