    Hey Alex, so i know you did a lot of wiring and switches a while back. Did you happen to replace your stock fog light switch? im trying to find a part number for it or trying to find one from a 2013 to buy..

    I did, actually. However it now serves as my ATRAC switch. That said, I'm in the market for an FJ ATRAC switch to replace it. It's yours when I find the FJ switch.

    It's like paying $20k for a breeding bull with excellent confirmation, castrating it, waiting for it to fully recover, and then butchering it immediately after and letting the meat go bad in your freezer for the next two years.

    @Phoosa I know you did this relocate with the FJ switch a while back.. Do you have a part number on this? and im assuming this is a discontinued part? If so, i can try to keep an eye out for one if i ever get around to a pick and pull for that shifter boot. If i could find one, we could tradeskis

    You just reminded me, I asked the guy at LKQ for one, waiting to hear back.

    Don't want to pay $50 for one on eBay.

    I will dig back through my photos.

    Switch I used was OEM FJ.
    Paid $50 for it too.

    So clean, so worth it.

    Tested the winch anchor, worked great! Got the truck all the way in the garage well before the nose started dipping to the anchor.

    Got some small projects to finish then I'll get the cap back on it in preparation for Moab.

    Puts my mind at ease a bit for the crawl box install. I figure that'll take a weekend to do correctly.

    Thought the new tax plan would help, somehow it was worse this year.

    It's effective

    Maybe Toyota should have used some to prevent frame rust! :laugh:

    I'm sure a few sacrificial anodes on either side of the frame would have saved them millions in frame replacements
