    It took a bit longer than expected trying to figure out where to add the fuse taps and where to ground since I'm not the best at electrical. Also, taking apart the center console wasn't my favorite but overall I'd say it is worth it.

    Wondering if I didn’t need to get the $135 one if I can still use the regular one with the R4t harness

    He’s working on V2 , which reuses the OEM cover. As you can see it also has spares and a fuse puller too.

    I think that's what Dave told me. The R4T grille light harness will plug directly into his regular headlight harness. You can't go wrong with either choice. I think he mentioned his all in one harness was a bit more tidy if you're a little ocd. If not, the R4T grille light harness was a pinch cheaper, but not much.

    Yep, pretty good summary.

    I could be convinced to lower my pricing on the grille light option a little bit. It's currently priced the same as the $85 harness plus a $50 DRL T harness but it's slimmer and compatible with my v5 harness. I don't get a ton of volume on it but I'm not sure how many are put off by the price. I'd say $120 is the floor b/c it takes quite a bit more labor for me to produce and it's an extra complication, also an extra dollar to ship and some extra parts. Soldering diodes is really no fun. If $10 is a big deal to people, maybe whine to me via DM and see if I'm willing to be soft.

    Most people get the basic conversion harness. But I think at least one guy bought some other harness and then bought mine afterwards to gain the extras. I run my own harness now, after starting with a basic Mike one before I got into this stuff, but right now I'm only using it for grille lights as I have been a ridiculous slacker on installing my puddle pods and v5's due to spending all my time building stuff for other guys to have nice trucks :)

    Anyway, chat me up here or DM or in my headlight thread linked in my sig if anyone has suggestions for what you think would make sense.

    I just talked to him. He was super quick on the response. I cancelled the order and went with the 85$ harness instead as it suits my needs. Didn’t need the other one. Thanks again!

    Hey where'd you get the USB ports? I need to find one that'll fit in the switch slot in the center console under the stereo. I believe their called small toyota style switch size on CH4x4

    Didn't snag any pictures sadly... but I took out that dang needle bearing and replaced it with the ecgs bushing. That thing was a pita to get out without the removal tool haha. But I officially have a modified puller for it now haha.

    Also, all vibes and noises gone! Thank goodness.

    Me too! Luckily, Ohio dropped them as a requirement last year, so no more risk without one!

    I used this one for my behind the dash power setup, but before ziptying it in place i popped it into a slot next to the ECT button. I knew it was gonna fit and figured it would probably suck trying to get it back out, but i tested it anyway.

    It fit perfectly and it was a bitch to get out. btw for power i ran an add a fuse to the cabin fuse box and plugged into the POUTLET 1 slot

    Was there a trick to getting it out? I went to move mine over and it seemed impossible to get out.

    Hah yeah i almost resigned to just leaving it there but with some persistence you’ll be able to get it. There’s 2 tabs on the top and bottom that lock the charger into place. Using a plastic trim tool, find the ridge where the top tab is and push down and pry towards you. Do this a few times with more force than you’d think necessary and it’ll finally work itself out enough to where you can pull it the rest of the way.

    Paid off the rest of my loan (13 month early) and installed new rotors and break pads. Today was a good day.
