    the cover is snapped in. Just use a small screwdriver and pry it off and up. Then remove the the inside cover with the torx bit.

    NP. Pretty darn easy. Hardest part is snapping off that cover thingy on the end.

    Have you checked the clearance between the one piece shaft and the cross member where the carrier bearing used to be? I want to go the single piece route too, but have read conflicting opinions about interference when the rear suspension bottoms out. At least one guy cut out his cross member without adding any additional structure back...don't think that's a good idea.

    They are super fricken tiny. Not your run of the mill plcc-2, but smaller. I burnt out an LED just fucking around with the circuit when I swapped out to the black steering controls, was going to source a new LED but never figured out the size. I've found some look alikes based on the rear markings and such and size-wise but never experimented to see if I was correct.

    They are flush mounted also so they solder in from the rear of the board and the LED sits in a recessed hole.

    No skids, no lockers, no winch.
    I ordered the secondary air pump filter. When I went to change it I realized the plastic shroud that is supposed to cover the entire assembly is missing. Do I need that? Or, can I run the filter uncovered? Should I order it from Toyota? Any advice appreciated.

    I don't think you really need it, probably just helps from debris and water getting to your filter. I haven't been running the plastic shroud since I did this mod about 4 months ago and haven't any problems.

    How heavy is it? Is it enough to notice a little bit of weight in the bed? Sometimes I want to add a little weight back there
