Bought some takeoff wheels from a 2nd gen. 16x7 with 30 mm offset…made in BC. Those are slated for next winter after some cleaning. Plan to run studded tires during ski season….

Oh good to know. I was going to get red in their rear seat kit but like the idea of what you did with the pod

Got the OTT tune today, and BUDDY.. it’s the best mod I’ve done yet!

Goodbye gear hunting.. Goodbye spongy ball-less throttle.. Goodbye me dreading taking the truck on a road trip.

Summit Bumper is fully prepped and wired, bumper has been cut and refit, all prep work for the bumper is completely finished.

Summit steps are installed, the anodized steel steps currently curing with a fresh cost of hammered black.

My brother flies in tonight, which we’ll be able to do final install of the bumper as well as drilling/ connecting the side bars.

@MESO Customs packaging is next level! And the hardware tin with the slide out cover? Going to be repurposing that for sure! Fit and finish is great; for such a small product, I definitely admire the attention to detail.

Window tint does have small insulation factors due to glass having pores.

Intro
Annnnnd we're back! Thanks again for all of the support on the footwell kits. They have been a major success thanks in major part to this community, and we have been hard at work designing the next mod I'm happy to be introducing!

Function
The LPX is a mini lightbar modeled off of the 3 red running LEDs you might have seen under the tailgate of several full-size trucks, except it attaches to the holes on your rear license plate and provides 3 modes of lighting. When the truck's rear running lights are on, the 3 red LEDs on the LPX will illuminate in a lower (yet highly visible) setting. When you press on the brakes, the 3 red LEDs will brighten, such that it functions like an extra brake light -- perfect for people like me that have a roof top tent occluding the cab brake light. Finally, when you kick the truck in reverse, 10 super bright white LEDs will illuminate, providing you with a nice touch of light in the reverse camera, or enough light to see whatever you need when reversing.

I made a Tacoma-specific plug-and-play wire harness so you don't need to splice anything. Simply plug the connectors into one of your tail lights and run it along the inside lip of the bumper toward your license plate.

If you have another vehicle, I put together a separate universal harness that interfaces with the factory tow harness. Right now it only supports the running light (tail) and reverse modes, but we currently have some plans to add the brake feature to the harness in the near term. It plugs in between the truck's factory connection to the trailer outlet itself, so you can still use the 7-pin tow connector on your truck (some people get that confused).

Ordering
The price for a Tacoma-specific kit is $200. You can also purchase the LPX separately and add on a universal harness if you are someone that has multiple vehicles -- it will fit so long as the vehicle has a 7-pin tow connection. Everything is currently in stock. I wanted to wait until everything was done and ready to go before sharing all of this with you. Feel free to post any feedback you may have or contact me to directly for support. Thanks again!

congrats on your license. I don't listen to anything on the left hand side of the dial on any device so I'm good there.

It’s about like a fishing license, anyone can get one if you pay your $35.00. The only test is seeing if you can figure out how to navigate the FCC website. Completely understand about not listening, it’s very rare that I listen to radio, I’d much rather listen to a podcast or pandora.
