    I thought that too especially since you are a new member, so I tried to do the exact opposite and provide you with a kindful response and link with an explanation.
    You are misinterpreting my response. People joke around here a lot, so dont take it serious. The thread I pointed you to is very informative on the subject, especially regarding safety of others and the potential blinding factor of your current headlight setup.

    Honestly, I thought you would have appreciated my response.

    Take it easy.

    Honestly, your post is the only one I took seriously. It’s the “that guy” stuff that gets under my skin like I didn’t do the homework or put the time and effort into making sure they’re properly calibrated. I understand what they’re trying to say, but I feel like I see better with these bulbs. Maybe they’re not brighter by a light measuring device, but I see with more clarity with the white.

    Where they are coming from is making sure you are not blinding others. If you confirmed that then you're good.

    Not what I did to my second gen... but what I did with the shovel so conveniently mounted on my roof rack.

    In the pouring rain we dug a 15’ shallow trench where both our and our neighbors gutters drained and pooled against the house and was leaking into the basement.

    Installed a Kenwood Excellon DDX8906S and SiriusXM SXV300V1 with a MaestroRr using a HRN-RR-TO1 harness in my 2015 over the weekend and I should have done more reading prior to install. I've got some troubleshooting/rejiggering to do. The Metra dash kit that Crutchfield supplies is garbage, I've got a Scoche kit on the way.
    • Backup camera doesn't come on when I shift to R
    • Need to ground out the parking brake wire (it's currently connected to the harness)
    • OBD-II data not getting to the radio
    • Factory GPS and Satellite radio antennas can't be connected with the sTO1 but it looks like the sTO2 might be the right one for my truck

    I didn't order one, I collaborated with a fellow member on a couple. Had it shipped to me. Might have a pair of connectors to make the harness available if your interested :thumbsup:

    At least as of right now no frame damage was expected but I guess that can all change once everything gets removed.

    Jealous of your all black temperature cluster. I had to paint around mine but still have silver trim cause can't paint over the settings.

    Hell yes! The absence Warren's tone, at volume, with Abt's kick drum thundering were major drivers in allocation of these funds.

    DON'T JOIN TACOMA WORLD!! JUST DON'T!
    Thank you sir! As for the AGMs, I have not looked into anything specifically but found a youtube video fairly quickly just now with the details. Since this is my first set of premium batteries, I am still a newb regarding any up keep requirements.. I am assuming the recharge will only ever be needed if I store/don't use the vehicle for an extended time or deplete them below minimum healthy levels.. Any more color as to why I should be more knowledgeable on this topic? Thanks for your support.

    Volant CAI, TRD Exhaust, Throttle Body Expansion with vortex, too many others to mention.
    Looking for some help with lighting. I'm working on some grille lights and I want to splice them into the Driving Lights. Which one(s) of these wires are the driving lights?

    Thanks.

    HA!! we had opposite experiences. Nice HU choice. My Kenwood (DMX905S) with a Metro RR went in this weekend. My kit was for the 2015 (20 pin) and would not fit the 2013 (28 pin). At the moment I have no steering wheel controls, but I do have the OBD to the HU. Should have the right connector here in a day or three. Scosche dash kit fits perfectly. You'll dig it.
