    @Basikbiker your buddy Sean the firefighter was showing me pictures of your build today. I thought I recognized those welds. Must be you right?

    I had the SPOD with HD screen in my 4-Runner and loved the simplicity of wiring it up but using the touch screen while Offroad was really annoying. The screen would momentarily turn off then you had to tap it to wake it up then turn your lights on or off with the screen. This really sucks if you want to quickly turn on/off your lights.

    I now run Switch Pros in my Raptor and love it. It is (4) wires to set up so not as easy as SPOD but the Switch pad is bright and easy to use. It's also easy to quickly turn lights on and off as you transition from dirt to street and back to dirt.

    So best option for painting glass? Rough estimate of cost (I know it differs by the area, just want a ball park). Only thing I’ve been quoted is $200-250 per side for a wrap but they seemed hesistant about glass.

    Also, any recommendations on type of bed liner for inside of fenders?

    A rubberized undercoat works pretty good, just get some color matched paint and spray it yourself

    I'm not opposed to an awesome racing steering wheel, but where do I put the buttons to control my stereo and voice controls?

    Just reminded me of a yes or no question. Did your 4x4 work with the esb kit, I wanna convert in the future and was curious if I'll have to change kits?

    Im just glad that my suspension is finally getting collected to complete my LT. Then after that starts the reinforcement phase and gears and tires for dirties.

    I assume putting tabs on a stock third gen taco LCA? Does it have the proper build to handle one? Would be cool to know the feasibility of a stock LCA to handle bypass tabs.
