    Has anyone had their temperature display stop working? Every where I'm reading is showing the whole unit goes black but mine still shows the compass and where the temperature should be it just has two or three dashes lit up. I replaced the sensor thinking that could be it but that didn't do anything. Any ideas, I haven't found a good way to word it when I search anything.

    Cleaned her up and snapped a few pics with the new rims/tires. Recently installed Up2NoGood's heated mirrors and did the rear diff breather mod.

    I just got in one day about two weeks ago and it was like that I figured I messed the sensor up since everything else was working but replacing that didn't do jack

    Super nice and easy to install. I’m not used the the two different mirrors on each side but I’m getting used to it. It’s going to make towing my Jayco hybrid so much easier. Thanks!

    Buttoned up my rear slider motor install. Put in some rear 2017 Tacoma bins thanks to @johnny6! They slope out to accommodate the 3rd gen rear sliding window mech. Worked same for me too.

    And also installed some more Carling switches bought off another member that just so happened to match my exact switch type/LED color setup of Green/Red. I only have 5 switchbacks total so I think I will make the 6th blank one of those Carling switch type voltmeters. But now I can just wire up my accessory at my aux panel and add a rocker of my choice to the switch and good to go. Everything else has been prewired long ago with a deutsch connector.

    Not sure yet. I only drove it a few miles today. Tomorrow, I'll be driving on the interstate, so the big test will be getting on the highway from an uphill ramp. That's the main reason I purchased the header. I almost felt unsafe because it was too slow getting on the freeway. My big wheels don't help.
