Let the fun begin

Damn.. missed it by a year.

Eureka! I pulled off the tail light last night just to check it out. Cool beans. I'll probably pair these with a tailgate lock sometime soon. Probably sometime September/October, once I can give her a good cleanup and before I get fluid film all up in there.

 

Is the tailgate power lock plug and play

 

75%. Toyota can do it "factory", but it's just a pop n lock. I think you have to splice a wire in the pasenger area.

Looks like this guy wired it to another switch instead, makes sense:

I can't open these at work, so based on the title there might be a plug and play with a harness instead of splicing wires:

Actually, I might take a look at that thread instead and do it as a manual lock but still a power tailgate lock instead of the manual. TBD, I kind of like that idea.

 

For the most part. You have to run the cable bundle all the way to the kick panel on the passenger side which was kind of a pita.

 

Im feeling this sentiment. I went from a lifted 2012 with E rated tires to my 21 in March and am really enjoying the ride.

 

Shit I just found them on the Amazon for 30 bucks.

 

Make sure they are an actual OEM part, some have said the harnesses are cheaper and don’t match up

 

Yup ain’t doing any suspension etc mods

 

OH Shit - @mabepossibly I think was the one that mentioned they closed it off to everything but ATYV/SXS. I am heading up in a few weekends and will be swinging by the northern entrance to see if there's gates/signage anywhere. I don't think the southern end is within reach where I'm planning to be.

 

I was able to get special permission lol.....signed email from the USDA park Ranger

 

Can't tell if joking or not.

Do they just not want stock rigs going alone and getting stuck?

 

yah, I saw it on one of the FB groups that some trucks were chased out by rangers and the sheriff. Then a few weeks later Dorset was closed.

Gonna see how far I can go stock suspension. I got sliders and am doing skids and tires soon. If your gonna be low you gotta be armored!

 

Not joking at all.....PM me for overall details.

 

Thank you @ds8466 for the gift. OEM LED Fog Lights. Can’t wait to put them in.

 

Enjoy my friend.

 

Are they set at proper height from the factory
