    That's not a bad idea. It never occurred to me to have it in the truck bag.
    I'm gonna look into that.

    No, stock right now. Might have to look into services solution if adding more auxiliaries down the line.

    No that’s not Tesla, that is the emblem on all factory T Force wheels, anything not stock has the emblem, most special editions.

    Mostly stock, just getting it to my liking, just happy to have had the taco and now my 4Runner.
    Added an auxiliary fuse block with plenty of slots for future fun, and from it an auxiliary fan to help keep the a/c cooling at its max!

    Stock as I understand. Just installed a wireless charging air vent cell phone holder. I run Torque on my android with a BT OBDII dongle.
    I am a satisfied customer. I have an '06 V-6 4L AUTO with 250k miles on it. It's kinda ragged but I love it. I recently had Dave flash my ECU/TCU to the eco Ver 10.0 KDMAX.

    Wow. Simply the best $400 I have spent in upgrades on any vehicle I have owned. All shifts are smoother. Cruise control now works better. I can cruise down the highway at 80 mph and the RPM reads less than 2500.

    I am a happy customer.

    ARB OME add a leaf installed making my OME medium leaf pack an OME HD leaf pack. It handles the extra weight in my bed like a dream.

    While I had it apart I replaced the u-bolts and rotated the tires.

    Getting my 2014 KDMax tuned tomorrow. Trying to decide between the sport throttle or the normal. Not a daily driver. Mainly an adventure vehicle.

    I chose the Eco because I don't daily drive it. But I knew it could get better. I have no reason to use more gas. I am happy to keep it under 3k rpm

    Forgot to mention I also have a spare 12inch fan as Amazon likes to give away items. If anyone needs it be reach out and pay some shipping and you got it.

    I did this and first time worked great.

    second, 2 years later.. time not so much.

    3 years later and inspection coming up they were bad.. so I tried this.


    This time I used two kits cerakote and Mothers Nulens

    Mothers 07251 NuLens Headlight Renewal Kit, 8 fl. oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GZLMEPM


    I used the oxidation wipes from cerakote

    then the sanding discs from the mothers kit that attach to the drill. Wet sand 800-1200- (2000 in cerakote kit) and cranked up the drill and dry sand with 3000. I then polished with the adapter and polishing compound provided in the mother kit.

    then used the ceramic wipes in the cerakote kit.
