    I thin k i will save the time and just cover the clear lense with some thin red film to change the lighting scheme there.

    This and that
    When you’ve replaced all the other bulbs with led it looks stupid. That’s why I did mine at least.

    It was more about only upgrading the interior lights and not using the tag light bulbs then upgrading the tail/brake lights and not upgrading the tag lights..

    To me, the tag lights have nothing to do with the interior lights, not sure why the interior LED light kit even comes with the tag lights...

    Now the back up lights are a different puppy all together, I am going to install them so I can see better at night backing up... As long as others can see my brake/tail lights, then I see no need to upgrade them either... I definitely don't want to hit my brake lights in a panic stop and blind the driver behind me and they rear-end me.... :rofl:

    VLED backup lights make a difference. VLED kit comes with 2-color LEDs and a harness that changes the actions of the lights a little ... for example the "backup light" is white for reverse but yellow for turn signal. Remember that "red" is rarely blinding to others unless it is a laser (that is why people use red lights to work at night without changing pupil diameter) ... it is just a slightly brighter brake light.

    For @DavesSR5 ... VLEDs to the driver side, original to the right. Not blinding, just brighter.

    I’m jealous. Surf rods a little too long for the bed, heh?
    LPT I’m sure you know beach sand will be packed in your frame. As good as I used to pressure wash my frame after long surf fishing trips, I’d still find sand under there years later.

    Nothing fancy, made a platform to make sleeping in the short bed a little more feasible.

    Yeah, when I get home I spend the next day power washing and running lawn sprinklers up under the truck. So far, so good.

    Replaced the 64 GB card in my dashcam with 128 GB. Now I can record 8 hours upside-down at the bottom of the cliff-side trail instead of just 4 hours. But that covers a full winter day in southern Canad-eh with 2 hours to spare.

    Update.
    ICON AAL +1.5" showed very bad perfomance. today we measured lift and it was 21" from central hub to fender lip (stock is 22"), and also it was very very soft(i will show it later) and we installed ICON RXT 3 stage. now have 25" rear( it will settle in the next few weeks to 24.5") front lift measurements - 23"

    I just recently replaced both front transmission lines due to rust. Now the latest is the power steering pressure and return line rusted through. These lines are thin and poor quality. I didn't buy the factory replacement due to price and quality $490.00, that's crazy. For a 2019 this truck is a little disappointing. My 1998 and 2008 Tacoma were fantastic. I never drive on the beach but here in New Jersey they use tons of brine on the roads destroying the vehicles. I also replaced the rear shoes with Power stops shoes, at 78,000 miles they were getting very close.

    put in a kill switch from 41.22, which was really easy to do since it's literally plug and play. Added the switch to a non disclosed difficult area to see and feel.....(in my own head that is!). sorry for the blurry pic. Took me exactly 37 minutes to install during my lunch break.
