    Unbolt your front skid plate, I squeezed my hand through the hole instead and cursed a lot trying to get the front portion steady to be bolted up to the stupid top plate. Also use an impact driver if you have one, I almost stripped one of the torx bolts somehow, probably chinesium :anonymous:

    that being said it’s a 15 min job

    I know someone here will know this, so random question. Does anyone know how to remove this lower dash switch panel piece?
    upload_2022-4-27_19-9-44.jpg

    Does it just pry out from the edges or is it a more involved removal? I want to install something along the lines of:
    upload_2022-4-27_19-13-4.jpg
    in one of the blank spots for a GMRS radio install.

    easier to just unbolt the radio and stick your hand down and pop the blank from the backside

    This part should fit there. The one you posted looks like it's a skinny long Toyota, and that's only found on the driver's side switch panel. Also, try asking over here.

    Did you match the rear tint? It looks great! What percentage did you go with?

    I believe that center switch bank is a one piece unit with the rest of the center head unit stack. See @ClassyTacos 's video on replacing that bank with the custom MESO one (looks like full removal and drilling/cutting is required):

    https://youtu.be/VpELpmOJu9Y?t=43
    Maybe you could remove the larger panel to get access to the backside (like in the video)? But that may require disassembling the center console.

    I got this call on my cell the other day, prerecorded for area residents: “... right outside of South Pasadena Arroyo Park is currently under investigation due to a homeless individual planting a military mine, also known as a claymore, behind a residence. LAPD is handling the situation with the Bomb Squad and all around Arroyo Park is shut down. LAPD will handle all media inquiries and criminal investigations.” No explosives were found and the scene cleared.

    Front hitch, 5100's, 885's, Snugtop XV, Slimline II, Sumos, bed platform, AAL, interior LED lights in cab and bed, exterior camp/backup LED's, Rigid DOT Fogs and D2 Pro Spots, Mega Ultra +130 bulbs, heavy-duty fog light, spot light, and low beam wiring harness, Weathertech mats, Re-routed dif breather and A/C drip line, dash cam, front and side cameras, anytime rear camera and nav, Blue Seas fused bus bars to cab and bed, heavy-duty bus bar w/Anderson quick disconnects under the hood for powering winch, solar, air compressor, and other accessories.
    In January of last year, I ordered a GFC SuperLite. That set in motion a bunch of challenging projects (in chronological order): built an extruded aluminum half cab rack over the OEM rack; installed an 18” DD lightbar (plus a Meso 3 switch overhead panel for the lightbar) added a custom fairing onto the rack; moved solar panel from my Front Runner rack to the cab rack; built a 7 gal. water supply powered by a Flojet water pump; built a dual fridge/stove slide; redesigned my solar setup and moved it to the bed (added a dedicated 100ah SOK LiFePO4 battery, Victron Dc-to-DC non-isolated charger, a 1500w inverter, and a remote monitoring panel). Here's some pictures of my last project that is almost completed, a half platform that I integrated with my dual slide.



    UPDATE: Project was later finished when tie down anchors were added to the rail posts.

    So stoked that I was able to install my Smittybilt 9500 winch(steel cable) along with my CBI fab hidden winch mount. Took me pretty much all day but worth it. Now I need to go and try it out

    Thanks, yes I had them match the front door glass to the rear 20%. I had the ceramic tint installed on the windshield 70%.
