    @UnrestrictedPilot what 10A fuses are you using? The ones in the stock slot don't have deep enough teeth and these 10A's I had in the garage have teeth that are too wide.

    Any assistance will be appreciated!

    Oh...and does this Denso Relay only control the Fogs? My slot in your pic says "AI VALVE"
    I have a 2013 4x4 SR5. I do see a slot with a 15A fuse labeled "FR FOG"

    Thanks everyone!!

    What did you use below the tailights? Is that just a rubber or plastic piece you cut?

    The D-Ring is a smittybuilt one from 4wp with some rubber isolators on the BPF mount. The grill is a genuine Pro one so it is top quality. I believe I got it on Amazon from some Toyota parts retailer for $400.

    Thank you! I did that one red one and the other 3 wheels have a dark grey decal. I did the red to give it some pop and I really like it.

    For your 2013 follow one of these threads. Your SR5 most likely won't have the inverter power so you'll have to run a wire to the engine/cab fuse panel for ignition power. @UnrestrictedPilot used the horn and thats constant power you you'll have to remember to turn fogs off, they will not turn off with ignition.

    I used this method without the fuse, no need for it.

    As for fuses..

    Did the needle bearing swap with brakes and axles. Been putting it off so I could do it all at once and it really makes a big difference.

    I tackled my frozen cams and LCA replacement project this morning.



    I prevailed! All shiny and new!


    The aftermath. The $30 I spent for the 3 pack of Diablo demon blades was worth its weight in gold! I used all three, but it made the 8 cuts relatively drama free! Tried to bump my 5100's up to 2.5" but the cup is corroded to the shock body. So that was a non starter.

    Don't laugh.... Gotta start somewhere.
    I don't have much experience messing with anything but bikes, but I laced on this leather steering wheel cover cuz my hands get so dirty when I work outside and this is he nicest truck I ever had and I want to keep it that way. Also cheap but pretty seat covers. I modified them to fit. I like the colors. 20200606_171807.jpg 20200606_171855.jpg

    This is definitely one of those jobs where you don’t cheap out and buy Harbor Freight blades. The time and cursing saved by buying quality blades is so worth it.

    Picks up the two bottom fasteners for the radio (edit used longer bolts), heavy duty though probably would hold thirty pounds. Made it from scrap that I had in my garage so it was just time. few mistakes like the extra slotted hole

    First wash of the year! Was only a simple wash, need to clay bar as there are a ton of contaminates. Probably will deep detail in a few months and ceramic coat. Feels very weird having a clean truck.

    Also did some bumper adjustment as I'm not too happy about how it sits. I need to weld some additional supports and angle the mounting areas.

    Painted my emblem black and welded the hoop yesterday.

    Have some real fun parts coming in soon, as you may notice or cared enough to read this far, it is only 2wd. 4x4 swap in works and will be done very soon!
