    Where did you wire your lights too? Tell me where you got the gauges. Thanks.

    I'm sorry that happened to you. I am speaking with Toyota HQ now since my entire HVAC system was replaced in late 2017. Maybe they can help out. The dealership wanted $650 for the blower motor and harness replacement. We'll see what happens!

Upcoming - purchased, not yet installed: Body matched rear bumper (rattle can), Kicker Hideaway, JL Audio 6x9 components w/80Hz Bass Blockers, Hellwig anti-roll bar, TRD Short Shifter, Knock-off TRD Shifter (non-Qball), black throwback plates. Plans: more.
    I wired the raptor lights to the trailer brake light circuit using an add-a-fuse, it is behind the firewall, as the fuses under the hood are either always on, or only on with headlights / side markers, and I wanted the lights to be on when the truck is running. The gauge mount is a Flexpod from Cravenspeed, and the gauges themselves are from Speedhut.

    I installed a new heat shield, got two bolts loose for the canister (the bed will have to come off to replace the canister).
    Tried to remove the bracket for the rear ABS wires, where it attaches to the canister (I mangled the canister bracket, good thing I have a new canister). Still not able to unbolt the ABS wire bracket.

    Got my connectors wired up for the power mirror (pass mirror connector on back order).

    Installed a new Spiral Cable. Had the first one done as a recall. I guarantee the Dealer didn't torque the steering wheel nut to 37 ft lbs on the first one.

    Installed an OVS 180* awning. Glad I didn't purchase anything else, freestanding awnings are pretty awesome!

    I installed some bags and the wirelessone kit into my 08. Even though i have the leaf spring recall replacement I still found the ride sat low even with modest weight. The wirelessone hardware fit in the rear cubby and I can controll the ride from my phone or remote and there was no need to wire anything in the cab.

    On the right is BFG KO 37/12.50R17 and with a tape measure are exactly 35" tall.
    On the left is Goodyear Wrangler MT/R 37/12.50R17 and they measure 36 3/4" with no air in them.
    I'm going to ditch the front 3" lift spacers and get a pair of 4" lift spindles so I can cut just a little less.

    I'm fairly sure the cab mount, which is already almost missing because I chopped so much of it off, is going to have to be completely relocated.
