    I agree Mori is a much better brand, I just REALLY think these would fit my truck so well and it's the first set I actually really like the design of.

    The only other design I like is the OEM pro's, might end up just getting those with a VLED or Total tail kit if I don't risk it on the Alphas

    I stashed the spare key under my truck the day I bought it.

    I'm old and ignorant. What good is accomplished by stashing the tailgate key.

    Have you seen the form one’s? Made with diode. I went went alpharexx alphas because I found a discount on them from govx and the price was extremely good. But once these fail I will go with the form lights

    Bite the bullet and just crawl under the truck to change the oil. While I did not convert to a spin on filter, I did install a quick drain valve replacing the OEM oil pan bolt. And cut out some SMALL access holes for the drain and filter in the SR5 skid plate (TRD Pro skid plates come with those access areas). I dont have to remove the skid plate and can change the oil in about 15-20 minutes

    Resolving the situation in the post they quoted. Opening the door to get the key/fob that starts the truck which you accidentally locked inside. Tailgate and door are keyed the same

    So today I installed remote start into my SR5. Winter has been pretty brutal here and I was jealous of my wife's CRV remote start. used the Start X kit from Amazon - worked like a charm, took about 25 minutes to install. Did it over my lunch break.

    Yeah, I didn't spring for the key-takeover kit. I didn't mind that much my wife's CRV doesn't have key-takeover either. While it doesn't shut off when the door opens, if you don't hit the start button, it dies the moment you touch the shifter.

    I put that extra key under the truck in case for some unforeseen reason I get locked out. Because that key also opens the doors. I hide and extra key under all my vehicles. A few times it has saved me much grief.

    I'd say the slider did its job today and saved you some side body damage. My guess is their car has a bigger mark.
    Still frustrating!

    Nothing crazy, I replaced the stock headlight bulbs with H9 bulbs. Got rid of the lamin-x yellow fog light film, and replaced the stock bulbs with yellow ones. Headlights are so much brighter and I think the yellow bulbs work way better than the lamin-x covers.
