    I was under my truck on the creeper looking for the T harness when my wife drove up. I heard her laugh as she drove into the garage. She got out and asked what mod I was doing now. I told her and she said "That's cool." :thumbsup:

    Oh, and just because I love this color...

    Plug and play all the way. I was surprised on how easy it was to install, A+.

    Might be a weird question but has anyone just removed the lights for their license plate? Is there a reason that they’re helpful?

    I believe they are a legal requirement, so your plate is visible to other drivers at night.

    I *finally* got around to installing mine today. Super easy; I think it took longer to re-read the steps after removing the tail light. Obviously installed and back together and works like a champ - very well engineered and assembled! Thanks @daveeasa !

    I am still working on the installation video, it's in the hands of the editor who works at snowbasin. So, as the ski season winds down I hope he can find time for it.

    Received today and installed today! Total time was about 10 minutes. 20 minutes if you misplace your tools a lot.

    Super quick note. We are now below 10 in inventory (9 to be exact) so it's time for me to make more. I actually have 8 pre-made and I just got relays today so I should be at 17 (let's hope my math skills are adequate) after tonight or tomorrow.

    Purchasing has definitely slowed down and it's been nice to take a breather, get caught up on my headlight harnesses, and I'm working on a full on, real deal, Tacoma simulator for all of the exterior lights (I have 8 switches and a nice set of headlights along with a spare busted taillight.)

    I'm still working on the installation video. Mostly, I'm leaning on my friend for editing because his voice is awesome and mine plain sucks, so does the neighbor kid who helped out. I'm hoping that helps drum up some interest.

    Outside of that, I'm mostly hoping that word of mouth spreads this to those who might want it. I know it's not free (there's the DIY thread for that) but those of you who find it a pleasant mod and worth the money are the ones who are best to spread the news to others who might enjoy it and don't want to do the work themselves. I do truly enjoy building these, it's just the right level of complicated but not overwhelming to give me a nice feeling of satisfaction that I've added a small amount of order to an otherwise chaotic world.

    Anyway, cheers and hope everyone is doing great and enjoying their truck. I've actually knocked a few backlogged mods off the list for my own truck, still plenty left to do.

    Note to the team. Received mine this week and installed yesterday. Works like a charm, and construction of the patch is better than OEM. Buy with confidence.

    Thanks again!!
