    Yes, I'd love to do the disconnect too when I wire it up for real. Where did you get the connector?

    I am also thinking of getting LED light strips eventually to go around the interior of the cap...but just getting the current setup wired for now.

    Put some superglue on the crack in my windshield washer reservoir tube, not sure what else to do aside from replacing the whole thing :confused:

    The door jamb latch needed tightening, noticed a little play in it.

    The seat belt latch also had alot of play in it so going to tighten that down.

    X2.. Mine's cracked too.. Obviously just under the sensor because the light will come on within a day or two of filling it up, but I'll still have fluid in there. PITA though

    I bought it at West Marine, although I don't see it on their website anymore. They have other similar connections there though. It's made by cole hersee

    and to anyone else who has rolled their taco, what did you do?
    did you just go threw insurance or did you try and fix it by getting a new cab or by putting a roll cage on it like a jeep? i need help deciding what im going to do. i cant tell if it messed up the hood at all. and i cracked my front fiberglass fenders. and messed up the cab obviously. but the bed is totally fine

    go through insurance. They will total it.

    At that point cut off the sliders and remove bumpers for resale or to put on your next truck.

    How do you replace those? The right one on my panel went out but I couldn't figure out how to pull out the old bulb.
