    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

    Where did you find their hidden winch mount? I have their push bar which is suppose to integrate with that. I was told they don't make that hidden mount anymore.

    The trick to getting one of the blanks out without removing the entire dash is to use a pry tool on a switch next to the blank spot you want to fill. The switch will come out easier from the front, then you can reach in with your finger and pop out the blank from the back. One note here is the switch you pop out may or may not have a ton of movement due to the wire connection so you may have to disconnect the switch for added room. Once the blank is off just use whatever you can to run the wiring. Also be sure to connect your wiring to your new switch before you plug it in, do not test fit without the wiring connected.

    I do NOT miss snow like that back in NY. I lived in Chenango County as a kid and the only snow storm I enjoyed was the '93 blizzard that shut things down for a while.

    Same thing happened to mine it was covered by my warranty thankfully because they wanted a pretty penny. I decided to hold off because I’m getting a new rear bumper anyway. They said one of the sensors had went out. :confused:

    Alright doll-face, c'mon and bore me!
    Today, I finally took mine in for the frame inspection. "We need to keep it overnight. We'll call you if we find any holes."

    In the 10 minutes it took me to get from the dealership to work:

    upload_2022-4-28_9-11-5.jpg

    $300 and 41 cents.


    edit> A follow-up: Dealership called. Said it had already been sprayed at the port and all they did was put plugs in the holes. I'm wondering if they interpreted my FFing to be oem. [shrug]
