    I've open up some sensors to try that. The problem I ran into is finding the right battery. There's no marking on it. Plus the battery has a small weld to the prongs of the sensor. Hard to get off without ruining the sensor. I'm still trying. Once I figure something out I'll post it. I got plenty of sensors at work to play with.

In the last pic you can also see the new intermittent wiper switch. The bag set I added is Firestone and there are plenty of YouTube videos on them. Other than time spent all three mods were similar in difficulty(not much, 1 finger on the noob scale) although to be perfectly honest the switch mod involves scary prying apart of plastic parts of unknown attachment points. If you watch each of the videos enough to get bored you'll stumble through even half potted.

    Jesus your cross caster is over 1 degree. Is it pulling to the right.? Or is your camber adjusting for it? No camber readings in your pic.

    Just bought a 2012 Tacoma Access Cab. Came over from the Jeep world. Planning on only doing minor mods. Keeping tires the same size but eventually buying better wheels. Today I added 2" wheel spacers. Looks beefier a bit!

    Welcome to the dark side! You may find it a bit hard to only do small mods on this site! It's an addiction and this site is the enabler of all enablers! I'd love to see more pics of that ac!

    Welcome! Fair warning - this is not the place to hang out if you only plan on doing minor mods:thumbsup: All these guys are bad influences on my wallet.

    Laid on the slats for fun and they were surprisingly comfy. Can't wait to try it with the mattress.

    Had to redo my cab mount chop. Cut back to the little tab and it wasn't even close to clearing my 35's. Ended up cutting everything behind the cab mount plate and bending he plate back to mimic the insain fabrication style cab mount chop. Lots of work but totally clearing them now.

    I will get some more tomorrow. The openeing in the narrowest section closest to the tailgate is 53" and that is exactly the measurement of the full size IKEA slat system.

    lol, I know what effect forums have on wallets. I spent time in Jeep forums for years, informative and expensive. This place is no different! Looking forward to learning more about the Taco world!
