    After getting my Super Pacific X1 I realized I couldn’t see anything out the rear view mirror any more so I started looking at rear view screens. I settled on the Wolfbox G900 Pro (https://wolfbox.com/products/wolfbo...dash-cam-smart-mirror-with-starvis-678-sensor) given the feature set, Sony cameras and the price. They have a bracket available that allows you to completely replace the OEM mirror with the screen rather than using the straps (https://wolfbox.com/products/wolfbox-oem-bracket-for-smart-mirror-for-g900-g850-g840s-g840h) I replaced the interior mirror tonight using a Dongar adapter (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DMW3DML) a flat USB-C cable with 90 degree ends (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D923S7YP) and a USB-A to USB-C adapter (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BWCW15SJ). I pulled the OEM mirror cable back up under the headliner and I installed the adapter under the headliner and pulled the USB-C down to make it cleaner. Tomorrow I’ll install the GPS antenna running the wire down the passenger side A-Pillar to the dash and the rear camera cable down the driver side and under the hood. I plan on using a deutsch connector to get signal into the bed and run it up to a Shittco rear camera mount with Wolfbox rear camera. You can see that the front camera on the Wolfbox is obscured just a little by that OEM sensor that is the center top of the windshield.

    I had my Toyota dealer install all 4 TRD Pro Rims, and service on my 2023 TRD OffRoad today, they never mentioned the OTT Tune. I kept quiet. Maybe you all know, TRD Pro rims are cheaper than OEM rims for TRD OffRoad at dealer.
    Also, I no more patience to paint the Offroad OEM rims black, or use Plastic Dip, TVD Vinyl.:D:rofl:

    2020 Cement TRD Off Road 4x4 Access Cab
    I've have an access cab TRD off-road in cement grey since end of October 2019. I kept it pretty stock until recently. I was leasing and ended up buying my lease out. During the lease I had a Diamondback HD + KB Voodoo cross bar combo for a RTT and that's pretty much it. I ran 235/85/R16 BFG KO3s after the stock wranglers.

    After buying out my lease, I have done some more intense mods. Installed some bed stiffeners, swapped out the Diamondback for a topper (Ozark Venturous), installed a bedrug, added a 1 inch suspension lift (Bilstein 6112/5160), then went up to 33s with 255/85/R16 Falken Wildpeak AT4s. I currently have some RCI rock sliders on order. Some minor mods are desert does it seat jackers on driver side and I replaced the stock interior lights with some brighter LEDs.

    Get another set of spring clips and put them on the other end of the pads, they won't rattle no more. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/...200/automotive-truck-2022-toyota-tacoma?pos=0 I did my 2007 pads rattled over bumps. I did it proactively on my 21

    Nothing to exciting compared to most, but I changed over to LEDs for the interior lights, I can see inside the console now, what a difference they make... I did not change out the tag lights though, not worried about how bright they are...

    You can almost bright light the vehicle behind you with the vanity lights now gezzz, little to bright when dark out, but I normally don't look at myself while driving anyway.... lol

    I replaced all the interior lights as well. Probably the cheapest but most functional mod. You are dead on with the vanity lights. Just about blinded myself with them! Another good one is putting LED bulbs in the reverse lights. After having some tint put on, I really needed the extra light using the mirrors to back up. Just can't get used to trusting the back up camera.

    Which LED kit did you go with, and what temperature lights? I’m considering the LED install, and am concerned that the 6000k lights will be too bright.

    I read a post somewhere in this thread that stated the LEDS are polarized and if you put them in wrong you will blow a fuse. Is this true ?

    It is behind the spot where the cargo light switch mounts on the lower left end of the dash.

    The only ones that can be installed 180 out are the 4 vanity mirror(s) lights, I just held them up to the contacts and flipped the mirror cover/lid up to see if they worked or not, if yes then finish the install, if not then turn 180 degrees and test again, then finish install.... No blown fuse, I just made sure light was off before removing and installing them..
    The only issue I had was removing the rear doom light cover, helps if you can see what you are doing... lol
    Very simple install, I was more nervous about breaking something on a basically new truck then anything, I could do it much faster if I was to do it again...

    My truck was in the shop for nearly 3 months after some jack-wagon rear ended me due to part backorder. I've had it back less than 2 months and someone backs into me at the parking garage at work. What the hell man? :annoyed:
