    And these are nicer, mine were only wax paper backed vs. the nice foil here.
    That said, same-same and it's hidden so NBD. It did however make a difference so totally worth it IMO.
    Heck, this whole mod has been totally worth it!

    got mine installed today, super quick and easy. took me longer to push the tailgate harness bracket back in to sandwich the new harness, than it did to install the rest of it. All in all, took me maybe 30 minutes (at work with a hoist). works flawlessly.

    By far and without question, in my mind, this is my favorite mod!
    Unbelievable that this isn't a factory option.

    Alot of missed details, i.e. the A/C drain mod, inability to remove the bolt holding the UCA without bending the body back ever so much...

    Taco Twonz on YouTube does a video on installation of a PopnLock. It's very close but no splicing of the wires with KTJO 4x4 's kit.

    As stated above, it's pretty self explanatory. Only PITA issue I had was reinstall of the kick panel.

    Start from inside the bumper, and feed into the tailgate, everything else follows the existing wiring.
    Use lots of zip ties.

    Took me about an hour, second time would be half that, a second set of hands might have been nice but certainly not needed.

    Yeah, I just like to prepare ahead of time. I often get distracted and wanted to knock it out. Thanks!

    Sounds about right. I'll start around 11pm or something, get a phone call, argue on Facebook or look something up on YouTube to help with the install. Before I know it, I NEED 4.88 gears. ECGS Pre-Build Option? The hell is this core fee? Google : TacomaWorld, 4.88 gears. Oh, new bumper released. I need something slim-line, but would rather just keep my lower grill light bar. That won't work. Looks at SSO again. Don't wanna cut this bumper, let me look at it. Wiring has to go through here, just cut my hands again on the metal... Oh look the nut I dropped last week while fabricating something magical. Damn, I just went to Lowe's and picked up matching sets. Where's that Lowe's receipt. I guess it's time to post on my IG Business account. Before I know it, it's 7am. Need to sleep to make it to work. Plastic still apart, wires everywhere. Wrap it up over the next 2-3 days.

    UPDATE:

    I will be working on updating orders at some point this weekend. Last bit of graduations take place this weekend. My work week finally finished today of what was a VERY busy week, so things should settle down for a little bit there. Goals for this upcoming week is to work on getting some shipments out to everyone.
