Hey Connecticut!

Me. It'll stay until April or so.

 

I'm on vacation this week from the must be shaved job. no shaving until Monday morning (gonna hurt!) At the itchy stage right now. Itch, itch, itch...

 

I'm in the middle of a hill. Leaves blow down the hill & into my driveway. Leaves blow up the hill & into my driveway. They all go 1/2 way up the driveway where they meet the wind blowing from the back of the house. I end up with a mound of leaves spinning in a circle next to the house. I've come home to a tidy pile of leaves in the narrowest part of the driveway that are over bumper high. And I don't have any trees in front - it's all from the neighbors on the block. I need a net or something across my driveway, or better neighbors...

 

Been a productive morning. Diff breather relocated and fogs turn on whenever the heck I want, yesss.

 

Spare key alone won't start the truck

 

Meh, I've had a beard since before they became stylish...since around '80 or so.

 

Hey Nuno, @Cativelense , I’m looking at the lighted 4x4 switch mod. How did you go about doing that? I was looking at https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2013-4x4-switch-light-beta-tester-needed.292349/ and it appeared that it wouldn’t work for a ‘13 or newer.

 

I'm on my phone so it's hard to find links... Did you click on the link to my build? I can't remember if I put the links there or not.

If not I'll find them and put them up here later, and tag you. The only thing I didn't do myself was change the color of the lights on the hylux switch. Had someone else do it for me, but I don't think he does it anymore. Can't remember what color they come with standard... I think it's orange.

 

I read through your build and saw that you had done it, but didn’t see any links or how to. Did you end up getting the actual hilux switch and a bezel to make it fit? Came across these:

They end up in a pile already?! Well that's to easy, just tarp em

 

yep it's easy they pile themselves, just tiresome after spending lots of money & time removing my trees. Life in the city.

 

Cities don't get along with me, nor I with them

 

Yup, those are part of the pcs you need! You need something else, that takes power to the switch, to light up. They are connectors. I'll find all the stuff and put it up here.

 

Here you go @mhoadley:

Switch: https://www.amazon.com//dp/B073X1CV74

Terminal Connectors to power the light in the switch: Terminal connectors- P/N 82998-12420

Ring you'll need because the Hilux switch is smaller than the OEM one: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/machined-ring-for-hilux-lighted-4x4-switch.451738/

And this thread shows you how to change the bulbs if you want to do that, and then how to connect and install the whole thing (that starts at step 11): https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/diy-gen-2-illuminated-4wd-switch.3681/

 

@Cativelense thank you!!!

 

If you have questions just let me know. I'll try to help and answer as best I can.

 

Thanks man! Ordering everything up now. Thanks for all that info!

 

Get her done!

 

Morning everyone. Happy gloomy Saturday.

Was supposed to rent a chipper with my neighbor, but the rental place fucked up and didn't get it last night. They say it was a problem with the truck, and that's why they don't have it... BULLSHIT.
