    Those notches are for the grill and hood latch. Just waiting for my spoil of wire to finish up mounting and wiring.

    100% for sure factory gears are 3.73 on that. But like Reagan said, trust, but verify. Some PO could have changed it

    I like this. Was your truck pre wired for the temp or did you have to do it yourself?

    Well with our trucks we have to wire ourselves the temp. sensor is there but it wont work with Bob's mirrors, but it wasn't to hard. We have metal straws and I pushed it thru the main gromit where the hood latch cable is and fed the wires thru it then removed it. Up in headliner wiring is there but my camera won't work so going to use threads onTW to wire it up and hope I do it right for my head unit.

    Are your old headlights unusable? I've given up continuing to try and buff out the lenses on my 06 Tacoma. Are you going to trash your old headlights?

    Paint protection film, just to keep the hood from wasting away and salvage what’s left of my roof. Clear coat is juuuuust starting to go in a couple spots on the roof but so far the hood is still good.

    They aren’t like terrible. I could buff out as best as I could and keep them for spares. Looking straight on they look fine (mostly clear), it’s the top of the lenses that are starting to like flake and are more noticeably yellow.
