The SR thread, let's see them!

hah that happened to me, too — definitely an unfortunate spot for a stain!

thankfully, it wiped clean with some more evenly applied water/upholstery cleaner and some light scrubbing/padding with a microfiber cloth.

for me it was just some plain old water leaking from a bladder in my pack. i had an equally "wtf" reaction when it dried like that...

 

Only 300 miles on it so far.

 

Wimp!
Lol!!!
Mine will be my daily, so I'll have it out driving. But all of my cars are out in my driveway. No room in the garage for them now.

 

I'm off work this week so easy for me to keep the truck parked away from the salt and crazy drivers.

 

Ordered the Rancho covers and ended up having to cancel it because I waited over a month and they still hadn’t shipped. Ordered the Coverkings through Costco and they came in a week.

 

We've had some CRAZY SNOW FALL here in Dallas! Honestly, I've NEVER seen this much snow since my childhood on the East Coast!!

 

Has anyone had any luck with some aftermarket headlights for the SR’s? I’m wanting to get rid of the stock chrome housing and possibly get ones with LED DRL’s. I wish the Toyota TRD ones would plug and play, but there’s more wiring involved. I was hoping someone on this thread has had some for awhile and would recommend them. Stay warm out there my SR brothers and sisters!

 

Eventually I'm going down the route of figuring out a harness for the Pre-2020 trd or 2020 led headlights. I want to stick with oem l. It's pretty far down my to do list at the moment though. Need to go to the local pick and pull to see if anyone has wrecked a 2020 with led headlights yet.

 

Yeah the only issue is that the OEM LED’s don’t plug and play with the SR/SR5’s, only the TRD’s and Limiteds. I wish I could stick with OEM as well

 

The TRD and limited don’t plug and play either. If you want those (TRD) and you don’t mind your DRLs also acting as a turn signal then @Puppypunter and I designed a pretty slick harness. I have it on my truck and it works great. You’ll need a load resistor to prevent hyper flash, but it’s the most straightforward design.

It’s entirely possible to make a different harness that cuts the turn signal flash and makes it constant... but it’s more parts and it seems like both puppypunter and I have other stuff that’s competing for attention. We could perhaps guide someone — with the right tools or is willing to get them — if they want to take the project over.

 

I'd recommend just doing the BHLM. There are one or two aftermarket lights that can kinda work with the SR's, but they're garbage for output and performance.

 

I have a pile of capacitors and resistors, just waiting for some time

 

That’s my truck too...love it.

 

I’ve been upgrading my 19 SR speakers (tweeters done today with the Subaru kicker tweeters) and foolishly thought there were speakers in the extended cab suicide doors.....(which there evidently are not doh!). There are blank spots with plastic covers....

—-Does the stock stereo do 4 channels ie the rear doors?
—-is there by any chance wiring back there (hopefully)?

EDIT: I di find this thread which says there there part way any way...

Sadly, the Ute Package trucks are not quite so ready to go.

 

Here’s my Sr in the works. On first day of ownership I found cheap trd off road wheels for 200. A couple weeks later flares and grill. Tomorrow I install fogs. I guess it’s a trd off road wannabe lol

 

True but I’d the above thread is correct I just have to wire from the cabin to the door.... and I already had to open up the door anyway sooo..not that bad..

 

I was wondering...is it better to just install just really good speakers in the front door (and the tweeters which are already done) ..forget the back all together and just be done with it?

 

Anyone wired the fog lights directly to low beam headlights (SR). I’m confused as I’m trying to make this as simple as possible. I know a lot went with the legit natori write up but I’m just wanting them to stay on when low beams are on. Anything I should be concerned about? Any help would be highly appreciated.

 

Its possible, but not sure its going to be simpler than the nitori guide, plus you're going to be splicing into OEM headlight wiring.

If you go the stalk replacement method on nitouri's guide, you can leave the fog light indicator in the ON position all the time, then they will just come on whenever you switch your headlights into parking, low or high. Thats what I do.
