    Hey everyone, I picked up a 2020 TRD OR back in January and since I've been on an "involuntary temporary vacation" from work due to the current situation, I thought I'd start working on the truck a little bit... well things can get out of hand pretty quick with these trucks lol I added a Switch Pros, PowerTray with the Blue Seas goodies, Cali Raised pillar mounts & SP mount, SDHQ dual light bar mount, and some Baja Designs lighting.

    I originally wanted to go with the SDHQ SP mount, but they don't have one for the 2020 models yet. I spoke with a couple people from SDHQ and they didn't seem like they were in a hurry to get it in production. So luckily Cali Raised sells one, so I jumped on it.

    As far as the install goes, everything fit good for the most part. The Power Tray is a killer product, but the mounting points seem a little funky. Of course I didn't get good pics when I was installing it, but one of the two bolts that go into the fender well just will not fit. the SP itself is directly over where the bolt should be. It's already a tight fit and there's no chance in hell it's going in there, so it's just being supported by one bolt on the fender well and the other mounting arm. It's pretty solid and good for now.

    The SDHQ brackets are solid as a rock, although the passenger side mounting point was about a 1/4" off where it attaches to the bottom cross bar, but it still bolted up fine. I added the Pro grill the day after I got the truck, but I was already over it so I put the OR grill back on. I just didn't like how much the Pro grill sticks out compared to the OR grill. I'm glad I did cause the Squadrons were completely blocked by the Pro grill. Half the light is still blocked where its at now, but I'm going to do a light bar eventually so I'm not worried about it. Let's be real, I'm not going to use half this shit nearly as often as I think I will, but I don't care. I like tinkering with and modding my toys, so its all good with me! Enough rambling, enjoy the pics!

    They're mounted to the SDHQ brackets for now. Once I get a couple light bars in there, I'm removing the Squadrons because as you can see in the second pic, half the light is blocked. The grill openings on the OR grill are too small.

    I thought those were S2s because they were cut off :D
    Would a lot of light from the light bar be blocked from the grille? Can you test this and see if it looks like it loses brightness somehow?

    Where did you get the mounting panel for the switch pro controller? SDHQ still hasn't released one compatible with the 2020s and I don't see one on the Cali Raised site. There are loads of options for the power tray under the hood but I can't find a panel for the interior.
