    Thanks a lot! I've got a crap load of rubbing on my fenders, going to get a final alignment to see how that helps, and then do some more cutting.

    Might need to try lifting just the front another 1/2" or 1". That could help a lot.

    I was hoping that's not the case... One side is maxed, but the other's got some room to spare. Will give this a try, thanks.

    You're Welcome! I originally had a 3" lift and had to go to a 4". I love it now and have no issues, no rubbing. Again, I didn't have to cut very much of my fender either. It really depends on how much of your fender you want to cut. Might be worth it on the one side to maybe balance it out too. Good Luck!!

    I need some help. I am going to get the Redline tuning hood struts. Should I get the plus or the elite? What is the difference between the two? The only difference that the elite is stainless and the plus is not, or is the elite beefier? I've been trying to contact Redline tuning but their answering system is not taking any more messages for the past week, and they have not answered my email request for information. Makes you wonder about customer service if something goes wrong with the struts.

    Any chance you found the thread for this. "I made a thing". I'd like to take a look at this and see if I would like to purchase one myself. Thank You!

    You can also take a drill bit. Drill a small hole in the middle of it. Then drill in a screw and pull out the blank switch by holding onto the screw.

    All this switch talk.... I think this weekend I am gonna go pick up my switch switchpros and another 30" light bar to fill the mount behind my grill (this time a BD OnyX6) to compliment the S8 I mounted over the weekend.... Then start accumulating the additional accessories that will be controlled by the switchpros

    Thanks, but my lower panel under the touch screen is already full, just like you have it pictured, with BSM, ECT, Parking sensor, USB, & Qi charger. What I would need would be the switch panel to the left of the steering wheel.

    You can either do that or is your overhead console full with all four buttons on top? If so, can I see a pic of what exactly you did or how it looks?

    Thank You!

    Found the part for the 2016:

    http://parts.olathetoyota.com/auto-...ine/body-cat/instrument-panel-components-scat

    Part #17... I just need to find the same panel for the 2017 version, with the extra hole for the rear window button.

    **Edit**
    Here's a pic of my overhead... Looks like standard TRD Off-Road. I see what your saying about a space there, but doesn't look like any punch out spots available. Plus I can't imagine running wires and hidding them would be easy at all to that location.

    20161129_215954.jpg

    **Edit 2**
    Crap no websites with 2017 factory parts/images yet... Anyone know of one, please post it. Otherwise, probably have to go to the dealership to get the right part #.

    Only difference is one is stainless and one is black. I remember someone posted one time that the stainless had a extra year warranty over the other, but I don't know if that's the case for sure... I think the black looks better IMO.

    I agree man!! done a lot of research and it's easily the best option out there. SDHQ makes a really slick factory looking mount for it AND they now offer the sp with blue back lighting to match the factory interior lighting.. All a out those details! ;)

    Look forward to seeing it! I haven't seen the SDHQ mount yet. Where is the mounting location? The new Blue looks nice but I'm stuck with the green. At least the green matches the Tekansha P3 display so there is kinda of theme lol.

    Their mount goes there the little cubby is to the left of the steering column. just makes for a nice clean installation that looks like it's supposed to be there. They also have an underhood mount for the "brain" as well which is really nice.. If you've got the time, it's always worth a trip down to the shop. Cliff's truck is there most times and he's got all these parts installed... Only bad thing, you'll want to spend more money!! But they are hands down one of the best and most well stocked shops I've ever been to
