    Added rock lights. (Took me all day to mount and run all the wires). there are 12 lights total.
    I'm doing the "negative" dependent so I can hopefully hook it up as courtesy lights with the Dome circuit.
    I wasn't going to light up the fender wells but I had the extra lights so I figured I'd just install them all.
    Hopefully I can get it to work as courtesy lights also.

    removal of visor stickers:
    heated the visor up with a small space heater,
    worked a corner up enough to start peeling slowly,
    after sticker gone glue residue left so,
    rubbed with some 50 alcohol - got some of it but,
    put a clean piece of t shirt over spot and ironed it for 15 - 20 seconds,
    one sticker had more glue so re ironed with clean piece of shirt a couple more times till it looked good,
    did this at night and was going to get goo gone tomorrow but iron worked good,
    other side tomorrow
    spot shows more in pics than in person

    No not really it's a "Rats Nest"! I need to clean everything up after I get it all squared away.

    TRD PRO GRILLE, i purchased my grille from Yotaverse and i received the grille but when i put the tss sensor panel in front, it doesn't seem to fit tight in the location and the spring clips dont hold on tight, would anyone recommend any way of ensuring it stays in place? i think i saw somewhere in the thread that someone said to melt the tabs in place? Advice Please

    Nice touch, great option if you ever had to change a tire at night. What brand of rock light did you use?

    How about a console safe?

    Toyota can not deny a warranty claim just because you have aftermarket accessories. If they feel the accessory is the cause of any claim they must prove it to deny your claim!
    Know your rights, the law favors the consumer.

    Been there, Done that. It's a pipe dream.
    You are spot on about the M/M Act being there for you. I took Subaru to court using the M/M Act. And I won.
    BUT in the real world, the truth of it is they WILL DENY you warranty and YOU have to prove them wrong.

    That's not how the law is written, but it is how the law plays out. Damnit!
    It was a huge chore for me to sue Subaru of America. Took almost two years. The whole time I'm paying for a rental car, storage fees, and tows (they paid it all back, but it was out my pocket until they did so). Had to hire an independent mechanical investigator (they were not budging on just my word). Dealer was absolutely worthless once SoA rep stepped in. Dealership owner was super pissed at the manager for not doing more, but that was after the fact (he didn't know of it all during those 2 years).
    SoA knew they had nothing on me; they wanted $6k from me for a new engine (prolly a $3k cost to them); they denied me straight away without ever seeing the facts (their habit/policy?); and they kept denying me right up to losing in court. Their $3k profit cost them a $44k loss in the end (and the loss of a repeat customer).

    So, sad as it is, the dealer will deny warranty coverage due to aftermarket accessories if he wants to. You have to fight him to gain your rights.

    The Marine Corps taught us to use an iron and paper towel to get the crayon out of our uniform back in the '70s. lol

    Funny but true. Kind of. They did teach us that - but didn't call out crayons specifically. It was for any heat-reactive, waxy, oily, etc. stain.

    I used the six amber KC Hilites cyclone V2. I’m not sure which ones @toku58 opted for but I thought it was cool he had 12.

    Doors are relatively easy since you’re not dealing with a confined space like that of the tweeters.
