    Bilstein 5100s @ 1.75 with 1.5 AAL, Satoshi Grill Mod with 2 Hella 500s behind the grill, LED dome and map lights, custom made (by me) 10" subwoofer box behind the dbl cab seat, DVD/iPod/Bluetooth/GPS/TV/USB/Stereo, Yakima rack, Shell, tinted front windows to match the factory backs. Backup cam in the tailgate handle mod.
    I was thinking about putting my fogs on a foot switch that way I can just step on it (like the old high beams on old trucks) to turn on an off. Anyone done this?

    Haven't done it, but it should be dirt simple to do. When I worked at NAPA a Ford dimmer switch was around ten bucks.

    I bought a foot switch and pigtail from LMC truck for $13 and hope to wire it to control high beams or driving lights. I lost feeling in my left hand after spinal cord surgery and in the dark I can't quickly find switches. I just joined TW so I look forward to learning lots about my Tacoma.

    Why put fogs on a footswitch? Yes it would be super easy to do, just mount it on that footrest on the left and your golden.
