    Does the dash dimmer switch work when you put new led's in?

    Super easy to wire up mirrors only. You can get everything you need from a 4Runner. Just a matter of 8 wires, 6 for signal 2 for ground and power. Power locks, on the other hand, is a whole other pain in the ass.

    Making another retrofit system for a buddy right now. I've narrowed it down to a science, I already drew up all the schematics and did the testing so now it's a breeze. My personal system took me a good 6 months to figure out with a LOT of help. I got this system finished in a little under a week.

    So what would be the correct size replacement updated bulb? Got most of the interior taken apart - I guess now would be a good time to do that too.

    I bought a illuminated key ring out of a 4Runner to install in my Tacoma since it didn't come with one and a #74 worked. Not sure about your truck though

    I'm pretty sure it would be the same since they shared so many parts. I'm wondering about the dash. Don't know if there was a big difference between the pre-01 and the newer dash - tbh I know nothing about leds.

    Thank you for that, when I posted this was thinking about what you'd think! It is high, but I know that it won't sell for that so more wiggle room! And the tent itself is a big one, had to figure that into total cost!!

    yeah. Just remember mods don't always add value. The tent is worth something no doubt. But the rest isn't typically. Again though your in CO so that stuff is seen as a big plus. Im sure you'll get around 10-11 for it.

    Well somehow I have a Tacoma door in my dining room. And a working power door harness, which is good.

    Collecting parts for my truck I've come across two in boneyards - looks like there's someone going around killing unicorns :( I'm tempted to find a good cab and swap it once I have a place to do it lol.
