    I have the g2 spacers and they are fine but they should be used with ET nuts

    Go with 1.5-2” Even though it will probably still rub

    Bora are probably the best spacers

    Spider trax and BORA make good stuff - there's also some decent ones on ebay. The studs on BORA's are made in China and the aluminum is probably about the same as anywhere else that makes them in terms of load handling w/ the weight of our trucks...

    I have some 2" BORA's w/ one broken stud - pm if you're interested in them :)

    They're at home. All the other nuts thread on smoothly - I was going to order another stud the broken one, but I never ended up using them since I got a new axle. You can source your own or buy one from BORA.

    Looks like your switch is simple battery plus accessory wire. You need to figure out what wire is what first


    It’s likely that black is ground btw
    Also if you tried every way then something is wrong

    You're a 5 lug? I'd ask on here and see what guys are using:

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/5-lug.114/

    I've seen a bunch of threads with less expensive options. I'm not sure how a MIA aluminum slug would be much better than a MIC and considering one of the "best" brands uses MIC lugs I'm not sure that the price premium is completely worth it for MIA ones besides wanting to keep your business domestic.

    study some wiring diagrams. One wire from ditch lights to switch. One wire fused from battery to switch and done

    I personally used relays though for my lights

    With auto red=hot

    Did you not wire the other end of the harness yet ?

    Maybe refer to the diagram that came with the lights

    One wire will be for the relay trigger and one is power to the switch

    I’m betting the relay is wired incorrectly
