    Bunch of Basic Taco mods.
    I was hoping to avoid shipping, but I suppose that’s unavoidable at this point.

    I ended up pulling it again and layered permanent marker directly onto the “bulb” of the LED. That made a huge difference, and removable with an alcohol wipe.

    Yeah I mean worst case you're out 20 minutes of your time. Not too bad in my opinion.

    terrible pic, but got my Geartech Customs splash guards on after waiting for em to come in! Couldn't be happier. At first, i was getting really frustrated because I thought that either Geartech had mis-drilled a couple holes, or my frame was missing a couple. Then I realized a couple push pins were still in there, so flat it looked flush with the frame.

    after I realized that my sanity returned.

Just tight bolts to get off and small space for your hands. Think it looks great. Love the switch as well. Videos online helped a lot. Now to decide what headlights and fogs to do.

    It keeps the battery for the camera charged. You don't have to hook it up to a 12V power source.

    I can't recommend Diode Dynamics fogs enough. Get the best ones you can afford and definitely hit up @memario1214 for some deals. As for headlights, follow @crashnburn80 threads. Stick with OEM.

    the 2nd generation tacos needed backlit door lock and window control switches. After looking around on too many websites and forums for a plug and play way to do it I decided to just go do something approach. Here is what got installed.
    The removal of the window control switches from the door panels is relatively easy. I purchased some small dot LEDs from superbrightleds.com. they come with small adhesive pads on the backside. So I just stuck the led beside the switch where it needed to be to light up the area around the switch. I got all 4 doors done for $30.

    It doesnt look anything like a factory install but it looks OK and it is very functional.

    It's a Flyzeye TCMA-0515 V1 LED. I put two on each side of the sun visors. My truck didn't come with lights in the visors so I decided to slap a couple these up there. Works great and not as obtrusive as my meso lights. Good for on the road. They're unfortunately out of business though :(

    Took it back to the scene of the crime of where I gave up on elk hunting last year. This was the first time I made it back to my give-up spot from last year. Had to turn around again. The potholes in the less snowy pic are from me digging into the road with chains on all four tires.
