    yeah the website is ************** the main focus of their products are dual battery systems for toyotas, but They offer a lot more as well. like i said before if you're interested in the power panel you can either email Matt through the website or shoot @HeliMedic a PM, because i don't believe their going to put them up on the site due to there being so many different combinations you can run.

    I had a set on an old f150. They were fabulous in snow. I lived down a hilly, twisty one lane road and I got in and out in over a foot of snow without ever even having to hit any of it twice. They a great tires.

    I referenced several threads and did a lot of multi-meter testing to complete the project, but I'm far from the first/only one to do it.

    The parts required are:
    1 x PT297-35070-AS AUXILIARY SWITCH FJ
    1 x 9098010933 HOUSING, CONNECTOR, FEMALE
    2 x 8299812340 TERMINAL, REPAIR W/ WIRE
    1 x Add-a-Circuit Fuse Tap (to grab a Switched 12V source)

    Resources you might find useful include:

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...de-not-led-or-hid.435419/page-6#post-13680690 (Posts #108-119)

    Note that, in the end, I found THIS to be the best way to wire the new switch.


    As shown, I tapped pin 6 to pin 3, and pin 5 which requires a +12V source, to the ACC fuse panel on the driver side using the add-a-circuit fuse tap.

    Why does your switch have a pic of a jeep on it?

    Was doing some cleaning under the good then noticed that the headlights are brighter across the top than the bottom. Is this normal? The lense is clean. This looks the same in the daytime, from close up or further away. Could be my failing memory but i always thought the brightness was even throughout.
