    I started doing the same...gives me a bit of piece of mind since I haven't replaced my factory spare with a 33" yet.

    Did your stock ones happen to squeak when you pressed them? Wondering if these will. I’m guessing disconnecting the negative keeps everything safe during the install

    My 2020 SR was prewired, yours should be too. I believe anything 2020 and up is prewired at this point.

    I have the attic in my truck and I use carry rags or store a jacket while I use the back seat for tool storage and I use the cord on the underside to hold my ice scraper. The only problem is anyone over 5'8" sitting in the rear seat is going to hit their head on it but it does remove quickly.
    It's one of those things that you can live without but is kinda handy sometimes

    I've seen a myth buster episode where they tested this theory and having the tail gate up is better than tailgate down for MPG. The best are those strap/mesh cargo tailgates when it comes to gas consumtion

    Could just tint them. That's what I'm planning to do to knock down the chrome inside the housings for mine.

    I didn't have any luck using mineral spirits. Applied a decent amount and scrubbed for several minutes, barely removed anything :notsure:

    Replaced transfer case oil. I was a bit surprised to have oil dribbling out of the fill plug. Had to lift the passenger side up a bit to cram it all in there.

    Weird...and it was made by AVS? I wonder if they changed the formula they apply the logo with? Might have to go straight to paint remover. :mad:

    Use fingernail polish remover, without acetone, and a cotton ball. Used on at least 8 sets of visors.

    I guess I just wasn’t patient enough.. I gave it another shot (using paper towels instead of cotton balls) and it finally came off with about 5 minutes of elbow grease :rolleyes:

    Thanks for the help fellas :hattip:

    I went all in with the diode dynamics. I want as much light on the trail to see low hanging limbs and rocks. But anything is an improvement..
