@willstuff I promised pics of the wire taps I did for my bed lights. After 2 weeks and too many distractions here are pics of where I tapped. Since I used low power LED pods for the bed lights I did not use any relay. Power is pulled from the cargo circuit and ground is by typical body/metal contact.

Follow the white wires. Power is the blue tap and ground is wire connected to the grounding bracket bolt, thus grounding the same spot as the rest of the stuff behind the kick panel. The red taps at the top are the port installed tailgate lock. The red screw tap is part of the trigger taps for my power steps.

Pulled the plug out so you can see which wire/pin of the plug that I tapped. Using this method the bed light is on and off with the cargo light built into the 3rd brake light.

Hopefully this helps you and anyone else that wants to have that switch control bed, cap, or added cargo lights. I would suggest if adding much of a draw to include a direct power and relay in your circuit to protect the OEM circuit.

I wonder if it would be possible to install the front clip from a 4Runner on a Tacoma. I would assume so, aren't they both built on the same frame?

I don't know but I think it would be sick

Slick looking Taco man. Love the under bridge look.

Washed the truck today

Thanks to @r6chan for the parts.

Two years and 60k miles later, I'm finally switching to the Bilsteins.

In another year or so when the Wildpeaks are worn. I'll likely do something with 5100s, aal, and go up a size from stock.

Any sound clip you can share?

I need to figure out a way to record it that doesn't sound like complete shit. If I can figure it out any time soon, I'll be sure to post it and tag you.

Would love to have one in my asphalt Princess.

Installed @CaliRaisedLed bolt on DCSB sliders today. Coated with Black Steel It to match my bed rack. Took about 2.5 hours to install following the instructions on the website + OCD. Coated the frame plates with anti-sieze just before mounting them. Lead time was 7 days. They look great, very happy with them. Can’t comment on actual use yet, maybe in a week or so after a trip to Eastern Sierras.

I looked at these tires for my truck I liked them because they run a full size on the tire unlike my toyo they are considered a 32 but are actually a little under that the st maxx is a full 32 in the size I bought. And I also didn’t go with them because they are quite pricey in my area. Looks great tho!

Ya I checked some pictures online from the are website and then some YouTube reviews. I think it’s right. It looks weird, I agree. But I don’t think it’s wrong.
