    This that and the other thing.
    yeah I haven't decided if I want to wire it to the parking lights or find an ignition source. parking lights would be easier because they are right there but then if I want them on with DTRL I need to make sure I turn the knob which will mean my tail lights are also on

    And does having the tail lights on bother you?

    I had mine done that way & they didn't flash. I think it was the grn wire w/ yellow stripe... I know there's 2 wires that go to that light.

    I will have to break out the multimeter one of these days and figure it out. I have one wire on each wire going to the DTRL assuming one was + and one was ground. I tried both different combinations and the led's only lit up with one of the two combos if that makes any sense to you hahaha I think my truck might be wired a little differently cuz don't some tacos in the US not come with DTRL or something cuz its not required by law?

    Do you guys know if the ECGS bushing can be needed on 4cyl tacos? I guess it is the same diff and stuff under there except for transmission?

There ground obviously but i also have 2 for the constant light then another for the turn signal itself... you need a wire diagram! Lol. I'm @ Walmart @ moment but in bout 20 30min I'll check the Haynes manual & get back to you

    I'm on my way back now. I'll check on my truck too... after I unload the groceries. My girl drove. She hates when I strap the groceries in the bed :angrygirl:

    Have we talked about the AG & BAMF hammer hanger thingys in here. I’m trying to wrap my head around the reasons for doing it if it’s not a full trail rig?

    We have! So one main benefit is that the stock hangers are prone to bending apparently. I've seen some pics on here, and both combat that issue. With that said, I'd go archive garage all day over bamf. The bamf is a stock replacement, so no extra droop or anything. Archive is slightly lower and farther back, so you gain extra droop. Another benefit is that everyone running them is reporting an increase in ride quality. It's from eliminating flex, and letting suspension do the work. bamf may do the same, but I haven't seen anyone say it yet. One final thing is that the archive will lift the rear about 1/2" if using stock shackles.

    I wasn't planning on it anymore. The main reason being that to capitalize on the hammer hangers, you'll want to do a shock relocation and a 12" shock. I'm super happy with the amount of droop in my B110 and how easy it all was.
