    I also had that issue. I noticed that the risers track wasn't lining up properly and hindering it from sliding on correctly. If you look in the groove of the track, youll see the wear on the riser where it's get stuck. I used a Dremel to shave it a wee bit and now it fits perfectly. Be very careful when installing it, too much pressure or over tightening of the screws will crack your windshield. Good luck :thumbsup:

    I don't think LED bulbs have the direct hate... its LED bulbs in any housing not specifically designed for LED bulbs (having a proper cutoff). LED bulbs in stock halogen housings are for sure hated.
    I put some LED fogs in OEM housings and they absolutely blind people to where I cant use my fogs on road. Plus the no cutoff throws light everywhere and its obnoxious as a driver.

    Just finished up installing a Voswitch UV100 in the 2nd gen Tacoma. Very happy with how it came out and the quality of the Voswitch kit.

    I used a blank fuse/relay holder from Paranoid Fabrication that is reasonably priced and fits 2012-15 Tacomas perfectly. Ran the switch cable up the driver side a-pillar and behind the headliner, then drilled a few holes in the sunglass holder to mount the switches. Ready for plenty of accessories now

    Full day of working on the truck on Saturday. Got my rear wall done wiith the sound deadening and closed cell foam. What a difference it makes already. Even shoved some up the C pillar but couldn't really roll it on so I just pressed it with my hand. Hope it holds.


    Then picked up a piece of ply for my rear seat platform and cut the first piece. The Sherpa racks made it so easy carry a full sheet of ply.

    Thanks, well done on your setup too! I fabbed up a bracket too, but ended up using too thin of a gauge and had to scrap it

    The flush mount looks great, might have to do the same. Did you use a Dremel?

    Yes, I used a cut off wheel for the rough cut, then a burr bit for fine tuning. If I remember correctly there were two cut out templates included with the kit. Make sure you use the right one as they appear to be the same, but they are not.
