    Just pressed them firmly and wiggled them left/right/up/down. They’re definitely not locked down tight, but they’ve stayed on since I put them on.

    The factory trim ring took a little effort on mine. I just waited until I had the black replacement ring in case it was damaged (it wasn't). I have the TRD red version. Not sure if he still sells that one.
    The included tool pulled my OEM button out w/o too much or a hassle.

    Installed a more budget friendly Nalgene holder ($14), rather than the Static Climbing bag. Pretty happy with it so far.

    I like the idea of this, but I'd be careful with it. You're going to get dirt, sand, small stones, salt, grime, etc. between the pool noodle and the painted cab/bed. It's going to rub, and at some point the it will rub the paint off, then you're going to have to deal with rust.

    I bought a stick on type from Amazon quite inexpensive. Is made of metal material with 2 sided tape on back. Mine is slightly crooked as I wasn't spot on with the install. I tried to adjust but the tape is strong and it aint moving. Lets light shine through at night. Happy with it as only a quick glance shows the start button.

    Hmm that is a good point, I generally blast it from the side with a washer as I have definitely noticed build up. I know I should pull it out every once in while, but on the other hand I'm lazy. At least out here in the PNW we don't have to worry about salt too much, but plenty of the rest.

    Shoutout to @ACEkraut for his no-drill front plate bracket. Painted black and added a 1/4” camper seal the back to silence any potential rubbing or rattle. Thanks again my dude!

    I have to say the first time I touched the knob (LOL), ,it was an amazing feeling. LMFAO, as I write this.
    Now I can instantly mute Pandora when the ads come on.
    Well worth the 34 bucks.
