2LM PnP - Plug and play 2WD low range for the 3rd gen. Tacoma

Just got back from Vacation and of course the package was delivered on the 2nd day I was out... Hopefully it's still sitting at the post office. Can't wait to install it.

If not it will get returned to me and I'll just send it back out.

 

Just looked at your tracking number. It looks like you had it held at the post office (at your request) so you shouldn't have any issues.

 

Finally got around to installing this. Works great! I did the additional steps of wiring the text to come on with the lights. Used an add a fuse on the tail fuse if your looking to do that. Now it's time for a beer.

 

Installed today, so easy even I could figure it out. Hardest part was figuring out how to best zip tie everything so nothing rattles around.



I used the method in post #41 of this thread:
https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ect-power-always-on.405052/page-3#post-13097291
For access to the center console switches. Highly recommended, it was super easy.

Works great, I think I'll be using this a lot.

 

That's pretty slick to just take the radio out to get to the switches. Always heard they are a pain to get to. Though to route the rest of the wires for the 2Lo switch you didn't have to pull that out anyway?

Also saw in that post that the factory switches and slots are keyed? Hadn't heard that before, so my plan of moving the BSM over a slot to the right to where the ECT would normally go (I have an MT so that is blank for me), so that I can put the 2Lo switch directly below the 4WD dial, might not work without trimming.

I assume the aftermarket switches are made generically so they can go in any slot?

 

First 5 SPD 2.7L that I know of, but not super paying attention.

Huzzah

 

Yeah the aftermarket switch just popped right in, mines a base model so I didn't have to move anything.

All the other stuff for the harness is behind the glove box, when all that's out and the radio too there's tons of room to get the switch wire over where you need it.

thanks for your part in making this happen!

 

Even easier is to pop off the HVAC panel once you have the radio trim off. You can get it off without taking out the radio and it requires zero tools. It also gives you better access.

 

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind when I figure out what to fill my last blank with.

And one more thanks for doing all the work putting this together. Top notch quality on the harness, and as I described what it does to my GF, "space magic make truck go slow, but not herky-jerky".

 

I had that same plan. But the OE switches are keyed. So I ended up putting the 2LO switch in between the BSM and Parking Assist switches.

 

Also, you don't need to pull the radio to put in the switches. When the glove box is off, you can just reach in from the side.

 

26 Left in stock. Haven't had time to finish the illumination harnesses, but I haven't forgotten about it.

 

@lapoltba I finally have time to install this Mod however when I looked in the Box there are no instructions or write up for the install are they posted any where here?

 

Another update: I would be guessing only but it looks like 3 weeks time

OEM blue should be back in stock by the Sep 19th? per air on board:

Ordered this thing. Whilst maybe I could....naw that would take me forever. At some point I need to find the modules. Passenger side???

 

What is it that you are asking?
