    Did you guys know that if the park brake pedel is depressed, it shuts off the DTRL..? It only takes about 1 click on the park brake and does not engage your brake....

    I know this cuz I wuz a sneaky game warden and liked to sneak up on my prey..hehe

    Winch, front hitch, step bars, bed extender, bed step, gull-wing toolbox, tailgate lock, security system, cb radio, etc.
    Both this and this will very easily eliminate the seatbelt chime. Tried both, using the former (smaller and more attractive). Each will fit the 2012 and similar models.

    Don't even try the Jack Nicholson "can't handle the truth" line whipper. You are just an Internet troll with something large stuck up your butt every day. You ain't laying down anything other than laying down to get your butt plugged :D

    I don't know. Never had that problem. I've avoided such during my few decades of driving (cars, trucks, motorcycles, semis, etc), which is simply a far safer approach to the whole matter.

    - I think that there is something that can get rid of the seat belt chime.
    - I let the defrost AC do whatever it wants. It's usually so early in the morning that this is on, I don't notice it.
    - There is a mod so you can put them on anytime you want.
    - In most places it's the law to have DTRL. Maybe you can do the fog light anytime mod and use your foglights as DTRLs
    - I didn't see the point getting the Toyota BT. I spent 50 bucks and got my own and I can put it in at my leisure.

    This, but if you turn the truck on with the parking brake on the DTRL's stay off until you release the parking brake (at least for manuals)

    It's written into the FMVSS, so carmakers have to follow it. IIRC a number of Ford Rangers were mistakenly wired from the factory such that the fog light could be turned on independently. Ford had to issue a recall for it. Don't know how many owners complied with the recall to remove the "feature".
