    de-badged, tint front windows, led interior lights, door sill protectors, led b/up lights, 5" factory step rails, yellow turn signal bulbs, added 4 D ring tie downs. Took off the black vinyl stripes between the doors. Changed the grill - from Custom Car Grills, Finally got a tonneau cover put on. 31" light bar ( white & amber ), tailgate light bar, sunvisor covers ( to hide warning labels ), new bedside decals - still too cold to put them on tho. Flag decals to go on too, again too cold still. Got a 2 switch, switch plate to replace that useless cubby hole to the left of the steering wheel.. still to be installed ( hopefully this weekend ). Upgraded the tires to G/Y Duratracs... loving them, no plowing the driveway !!

    I have a Tacoma incoming next Wednesday and am ordering a couple things to add. I bought a light bar and am going to buy the LED bed light kit. I've read almost every page of this thread. Is CH4x4 the best place to buy the switches and if so, does blue or white match the interior cabin best? Thanks!

    Im sure someone will chime in as people get off work. From what I've read, CH4x4 seems to be the place to get them.

    Someone said that the blue is just TOO blue and stands out too much. So I was going to go white as well...

    Found a free shipping coupon for shapeways: SHOPSHIPOCT17. Not sure when it expires but I am guessing October 17th.

    Got my switches and plate last week. Thanx so much for making these available OP. Just beautiful. Quick question for someone that's better at wiring than me (that'd be most people, me thinks). Wired up a set of Rigid LED's. Three wires coming in from the relay (red, blue, and blk). Hooking them up to the switch....red to red2, black to black and both grounded, red1 to green bed light, and blue to the green on the switch. Lights work, but switch light is on all the time. Any advice? Thanx in advance!!
