    I genuinely like mine. I find no legitimate flaw with them really. It's not even terribly overpriced. That and the 400w "anytime" have been good for me. Grab handle and HUD, well, I stayed far away. And now kmorgan3 has the 400w harnesses, but I don't think anyone else has done bowl lights. Of course you could drill and do your own T taps but man, installing the kit is fast and easy and relatively painless. Extra bonus that I get to foil my kids from punking me with the window switch by de-pinning the one jumper.

    I'm not trying to sing praises here or anything, trust me.

    Well....as it's said...'even a blind squirrel finds an occasional nut.' So it sounds as though the bowl light is the :puke:KTJO 4X4 nut.

    LOL! I actually have one of those. Blue light and all. It even has a fart fan on it that goes on when you sit down on the heated seat! Sprays water up to 102*, too! It makes for some seriously blissful shitting on a cold winter's day. :headbang:

    I concur with @daveeasa. The bowl lights are prob one of her easier items to do. I like the concept of the HUD, but reinstalling the grab handle after removing it ain't worth it in my book. The damned handle gave me almost 2 days worth of fits (and several "sentence enhancers" to boot).

    Having said that, I like the concept of the grab handle and use it daily to get in and out the truck. But that's about as far it goes. Can't really recommend it. :notsure:

    I have avoided the tweeter upgrade. Because I don’t want to mess with my grab handle.:anonymous:

    If you bend the clips, it is no different than the original. Just thank KTJO 4x4 :puke: for the design failure as you do it.


    The speaker upgrade is very nice.

    They have some really cool ideas but I try to listen to others experiences and try to learn from them. I don’t always do it but with 276 pages (and counting) of folks pulling their hair out there is no doubt they have issues.

    Seriously good on you! I completely understand the difficulty of wanting the unique mods.


    The best that I can say is to make your wish list known. Other vendors might pick up the slack, except for maybe the grab handles.

    Do you know the wires would you need to tap in to to archive this? I have been looking at some small chipset leds on Amazon that I think might work. It may be a bit of pain on my end but the peace of mind might be worth it.

    @caribe makaira sent me the pins for the rear seat window switches. Finding the parking light positive with a meter is pretty easy. PWM ground is maybe a little trickier.

    Yeah this pwm is a bit confusing for me. I guess I will probably have to order from her if I want them.

    It's just the beige wire for the PWM ground. Green for (+). No trick there.
