    I purchased the product from AJT Design, it was the best $ 35.00 i ever spent, now I can put two 32 ounce water bottles in my center counsel, it took me all over 15 minutes to install it. I think the hardest thing was disconnecting the center counsel from the truck.

    Question, when you install these, I am guessing you must need to take off your grill to remove the old ones and install the new ones? also does any wiring from the present LED lights need to be changed to install these, or is it plug and play?

    How do you align the lights?

    Hopefully OP replies with his experience on those, but I installed some Form Lighting headlights recently. You're gonna want to remove the grill, because the bumper needs to come off to swap the headlights. I'm sure you probably could swap them without fully removing the bumper, but I wouldn't recommend it because the space was tight. It's really not hard to just pull both though to ensure you have the room to work. Again, idk about OP's situation, but my lights came with all harnesses need to make them work even on my SR5 (non LED). They are a direct plug n play. I'd imagine it's the same for his.

    Plugs, didn’t pull the intake mani brackets, but wish I would have.

    10 minutes for passenger side.
    60 minutes of swearing for the drivers side.

    Someone could drive 15 miles from Boulder to N. Denver and knock of 10k buying it from Mountain States Toyota. Unless those dealer accessories are just what they wanted.
    My guess is the dealer got the special color, loaded, and loaded it up even more to cash in.

    My Distance to Empty fluctuates based on my recent driving. After a long highway drive it is higher. Short trips up and down the hill and it's lower. I keep it guessing :)
    Sometimes I even resort to looking at that little arrow pointy-thing with an E and F, whatever that is. :rofl:

    Did you get this sorted out?
    Press the fob 3 times and hold until the lights flash, then let the button go. The truck should start. I rarely use that feature because it shuts off as soon as you grab the door handle

    I did this the other day too. When the lights first came on at night, it was almost blinding. Amazing difference from stock.

    Just installed some domed center caps on my Method MR312s...........
    They are aluminum, domed and highly clear coated, with a custom design I sent the Etsy seller.
    He has a lot of different sizes of the aluminum disks (about 1/16" thick or less) so I ordered one close the the size I thought would just barely fit in the pop off center caps of the rims.
    Had to sand flat the OEM Method caps, but hopefully will be worth it once I put them on.

    Not sure how accurate the 4V6 is on the caps, but overall the quality and workmanship is outstanding, and from the other customers pics, he seems to be able to come up with just about anything you can think of to put on them. He is in Portugal of all places, but shipping was under a business week and his prices were very reasonable.
    Pics once I have them installed.

    NP, to one of the previous poster's points, the one annoying bit is the front of the plate attaches with three long screws through the trans cross member IIRC. It's a hell of a lot easier to place the end plate in position if you remove the skid for install - still easy, just mildly annoying.

    You had a bad experience at Fred Anderson, others had bad experiences at Mark Jacobson. Pick one, they all suck.
