    I bought the cruise control stuff from a guy on eBay to install on my 09 PreRunner. I've already installed the intermittent wipers, fog lights (my truck was pre wired) so I figured the cruise would complete the trifecta. When I pulled the airbag off the only thing I found were blank plastic plugs with no connections. So I guess I'm SOL unless somebody has an idea on how I can correct it.

    Also installed some stainless steel brake lines and performed a brake flush with some Motul 5.1 brake fluid.

    Sounds like you need a new clockspring behind your steering wheel, do a search for people installing steering wheel stereo controls and you'll see what I mean, you should also check that you have the correct plugs/wires under the dash to the ECU ( I'd link the page, but I'm on my phone ATM.)

    Continuing interior black out with some awesome truck part Christmas gifts. Going to also do the HVAC/stereo and Hilux 4x4 switch all at same time. Thank goodness it's a nice 70 degree weather down south.

    Thanks D2...I know the previous owner had the clock spring replaced, I think as part of a recall. Ill look into it.

    Now you're just rubbing it in. I have an Amazon Visa too with about $40 in points saved up. I may have to use it at Headstrong. They have a Bilstein kit with UCA's over there with my name on it and I'm pulling the trigger as soon as they reopen the doors in Jan.

    Nothing wrong with that! I'm just glad I have a good friend who has done multiple sets of brakes on his vehicles over the years who has told me he'll charge a LOT less then the $350 the dealer quoted me for new pads and rotors! Maybe a good dinner, or something like that...

    I would interested. They look really bright. I always want some kind of light on while driving but don't always want to run through amber dtrl's. They aren't even that bright.

    Very nicely done!!!

    My buddy got me these headlights for Christmas (who doesn't know much about tacomas) and I'd advise AGAINST getting these. I repeat, DO NOT GET THESE! Light output is terrible.
