    Nothing crazy!
    Sorry! I do not have a build thread. A cap is definitely a game changer. I’ve taken naps in the bed of the truck after long rides. It felt nice and cool with the cap. I’m
    Also able to leave things in the bed without worrying so much.

    Woah, that's a serious swing-away set-up! Who fab'd that awesome-looking, monumental rearward shift in center of gravity?

    After my incident with the rear diff I Finally decided, and I let Toyota finish changing the oil in the front diff and transfer case. OUCH!!! Then after stewing about spending that money,56C687B2-BF12-4C73-915A-AC61F6075759_1_201_a.jpg D3452429-3391-46CC-B983-4F5513419BA0_1_201_a.jpg B0F68C7C-EE60-456E-AF43-65F9768DEF15_1_201_a.jpg One of the things that I use as a getaway is washing the truck.

    Removed 2 former mods out of the 33 I originally installed which makes 5 in the last 3 days. There are 5 more to go and then I can sell my truck. I have spent the last 6 months in Florida trying to find a truck that I wanted with no success. All I wanted was a new TRD Sport Hybrid with only the upgrade package and no Southeast Toyota port adds. Finally, I went out of the SET area and found several in Virginia. I worked a deal with $5200 off of the MSRP and hope to get up there in the next 2 weeks. I have to take tomorrow off because my old body can't take much more of this hot Florida sun without giving me a case of heatstroke. The following picture is where I was removing my OEM Audio Plus system which was one of my 3 favorite mods.

    Hahaha! It’s nothing crazy. Maybe the way I took the picture makes it look crazy. It’s just a C4 Bumper with swing away and a 1Up bike rack with a swing away. This is how it looks closed

    I know they make the tape trick look easy but I got adhesive everywhere on the reflector so I resorted to a spring loaded battery terminal clamp to grab the bulb. Didn’t care about the OE and they came right out!

    As others have said, no issues with blowing fuses (unless you just flat out stick something metal in there and short something out lol).. I just closed all my doors so no power going to anything, also as said, install the map light and check it, if it works reinstall the cover, if it doesn't 180 it and recheck... Yes the dome was a bit of a PIA, but doable... If not done yet, the VLEDs is well worth the money and one of the 1st mods needed for these trucks...
    I went the cheaper way and went with this kit...
