I am planning to wire the bed lights to the cab and to the bed so I can turn them on inside or outside.

Any helpful tips or threads would be appreciated.

 

Like this?

 

That looks sweet. Is that yours? If yes, details please!

 

It's mine.

I love the bat light too but man was it a pain to get in place. I had a lot of fun tearing the whole center of my truck apart to get the blank out and the new switch in. Finally got it all back together and my radio wouldn't work. So I pulled it all back apart and checked every connection, reassembled again and still no luck. Turns out I had to call Sirius xm to reactivate it over the air and viola it worked. Probably more work than necessary but that's how I do things.

 

Any links you could share especially any wiring helps..?

 

No links to share.
Wire switches per manufacturers diagram.

Its not as hard as it looks.

 

I'm so excited. Little Big Red will get a Christmas present too! All that Clear Coat rash is slowly reappearing. And the gashes I got out of the drivers door, never got a good clear refinish. It's all too much for just the driveway now. So, my glass & tint buddy JR will bring ALL the bad stuff back to life, going down back to the color, touching up as needed, maybe pull a dent (I don't care if they do), and give me a NICE AND SHINY CLEAR that I can wax until the sun don't shine!

​

AND, it's a price I can afford from not spending all of my severance pay!


You maybe can't see it, but I always can. She can be a 5' truck now, not a 10'.

 

I have a question. I have a 2015 TRD off road double cab and I have the 5100s with OME 885s. Before I got the 885s I had the 5100s at the highest setting and I loved the height and look. After installing the 885s and lowering the 5100s to the bottom setting , I swear my front end is lower. Is that the norm? I know I should have measured before and after etc... but I didn't. What should my height be now with the 885s and 5100s set to lowest setting? Also since installing the 885s I have had a couple of occasions where my front wheels have hit the top of the fender when hitting a good dip in the road. Like when you go through an intersection that has a pretty significant elevation change... any help is appreciated

 

OK all, I did another thing. Like it if you will.

And, I am outta here. 21-50 bye.​

 

Mornin yall. ​

 

Those should net you ~2.5" lift up front.

Did you use a driver's side .25" top plate spacer for the taco lean?

887 coils would provide the full 3" lift up front if I remember correctly.

 

Hump day! ​
