    Gerber knife. Kinda messed the plastic up a bit. Some people use a piece of fishing line and a credit card. Push the fishing line around the switch with the edge of the CC so it gets behind the face, then pull. Sometimes it pulls the switch out, sometimes just the face off the body. But if the face comes off, just use a thin screw driver to pry it out.
    I cant reach my hand to the top switches from behind.

    Installed my CBI ditch light brackets. Tomorrow I’m picking up my Baja Designs amber pods to mount on them.


    Despite having to trim the windshield cowling and perhaps do a little more “work” to install these particular brackets compared to others, I chose CBI because of the low profile design and how/where the lights are mounted and how tight and close they are to the hood/A pillars. Also, CBI offered a DBL switch for a few extra bucks and a free t shirt.

    They are an option you just have to do more work. Our favorite person mahalotaco did it to both his trucks and others have too. Snorkels are ugly in general but the setups I've seen with glass didn't look anymore out of place than with a regular fender.

    A thing or two...
    Pull the dash panels. The lower dash is just 3 10mm bolts and some pop clips. If you still can't reach then you can pull the upper dash far enough on that side to get to them. I'm drawing a blank this early in the morning if there are bolts or just clips. I know the gauge cluster bezel comes out first. There are two little plastic screw/clip things that hold it.

    Just ordered a fresh pair of LED amber front side markers to pair well with the new matte orange wrap for the Tacoma. Review and comparison video coming!

    I don't believe that was directed at you. There have been a few situations where people joined and started selling parts, then they never delivered after they were paid (or didn't deliver until after they were called out publicly and contacted directly by moderators).

    Here are the pics. Still need to finish cleaning up the funk that was under the flares. I'll bust out the Simple Green later.

    2wd to 4wd

    Wasn't fully satisfied with what the 2wd offered although it had the rear locker. Throwing money at something I wasn't fully happy with wasn't making sense anymore.

    This.

    I can see how my post could be interpreted towards you but it was more of a general statement.
