    Your not looking for continues power. The signal that locks and unlocks your doors is what you need. It's probably a +5V for lock and -5V for unlock.

    Volant CAI, TRD Exhaust, Throttle Body Expansion with vortex, too many others to mention.
    Good bath inside and out. Still a little pachyderm blood on the license plate but I barely noticed the impact.

    Are you guys putting the bolts from the side steps back in the truck to plug those threads/holes under there? or just leaving them with the hole/threads exposed?

    Recently I added running boards to my 2014 Tacoma. The threads of the captive nuts were ever so slightly corroded which made it difficult or impossible to thread in the bolts when mounting the running boards. I ended up having to chase the threads with a tap in order to be able to get the bolts in. I would find some short bolts and coat them with some anti-seize and leave them in place. Cheap and easy insurance. I had never mounted anything to those captive nuts before I installed the running boards.

    These came from Santa today.
    The box was beat pretty good ,the banding came off the strut making them fully extended and blowout the box w/scratches on the coil seats :)

    Probably not a big deal, just saying tho.

    Threw on the new wheels on the new truck. Unfortunately was able to only do 3/4 as the front passenger side seems like axle is leaking. :annoyed:

    Still need to get some different hardware but this is the basic setup. If I can find the correct size spacer I will use them, otherwise I'll just use an extra nut or 2 to space the clamps away from the frame. And I am going to put some pieces of hose over the lines were the bolt heads are just as an extra piece of mind.taco69.jpg
    I also got the oil catch can installed. Not sure how I feel about the hoses, but we'll see how they hold up. Also, I'm going to eventually trim the top of the bracket so that I can get an allen wrench on the screws on the can so that it can be removed from the bracket.taco70.jpg taco71.jpg

    First post. Installed a new stereo. I blame this website for inspiring me and my suffering checking account for what’s happening to my 2nd gen.

    Dobinson’s coils and shocks. SOS sliders, ditch light brackets, and front skid. Rigid ditch lights. BFG KO(dos) More minor stuff.

    That sucks. But you will like the result they give you. Get coils too?
