    The dash is SUPER easy to pull apart, the switch rings are the only part that is a little tricky, but nothing crazy. Just take your time.

    You didn’t see any improvement in MPG? I heard you get better MPG. I currently average 13MPG, that’s why I ordered it.

    minor, TRD skid plate, front recovery points, Regken mud flaps, rear diff breather, AC drain pipe extended. Upgraded sound with active sub woofer, tonneau cover, CB radio.
    Well, thank you for advice, but according to manual H9 is our high beam bulbs. I think what I have now is good enough for me and not too bright for drivers on oncoming
    traffic.

    I ordered these new Prinsu handles from Truck Brigade, I actually really like them and it is nice to have to hoist yourself up to the rack—plus I like that they are also mounts for BD lights... I’ll probably get some wired up once I finish my auxiliary panel project.

    With a little modification you can fit them to the H11 connector, takes about 2 minutes. As long as your headlights are properly aligned, it will not blind oncoming traffic any worse than the H9’s. It’s a great inexpensive modification to get a noticeable improvement with low beam lighting.

    Man I needed these ramps today when I installed mine!

    What’s the small metal plate on your skid plate where the TRD letter usually go?

    It's a cover. I'm having mine painted the same colour as the truck so I wanted that area to remain clean. Will post a pic when installed.

    The three wires on your brake light there, are they running/brake/ground? Also, what are your plans for doing hooking it up?

    Hold on. What did you do to the skid plate? cover the "TRD"? Is that the standard TRD skid Plate? I like it, but why.

    Yes, standard TRD skid plate. The letters are not installed because I am having them painted the same colour as my truck. Cover is to keep the area clean.

    She was probably hoping no one she knew would see us.

    Thank you! I was a little hesitant too since mine isn’t even a year old but like someone else said, it was actually very easy. The trim around the screen and steering wheel both come off very easy. There are just some red clips holding everything in place. When removing them, don’t be afraid to give some pressure. The cup holder came off easier for me when I started at the charging pad rather than the center console like a lot of videos show. I followed taco twonz video and it walks you through everything. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions/problems.

    As far as the chrome ring, I was able to remove that easily just make sure you keep everything as you removed it since the 4x4 knob has a few pieces. The push button was the hardest for me since it didn’t want to come out. A little extra effort and I got it though. No issues for me. Everything fits great and I love that I went with black rings/climate controls and a red push button.

    Quick little weekend mod.
    Installed a platform bed for my dog
    7437E127-30BA-4FA3-9730-BFDEDB8F5C41.jpg

    then I just bought a waterproof, scratch resistant cover on Amazon to put over it.
    Here’s her testing it out.
