    Not at all, I have been a diabetic forever and sometimes my hands get real dry.

    My "Lotion" stays in my center console, Lol...

    With all the other crap!

    Those aren't underwear, it's my Arctery'x beanie!

    Left one is amber, that's my factory fogs, The kit from South East Toyota had a messed up switch, so I wired in this one,

    Red one is the ABS mod switch that cuts the ABS power,
    "Not wired in yet,"

    The not lit switch is the YWM for 4WD low...It may get a lit switch down the road but I felt it didn't need it.

    Yup,

    Doesn't get used that much at all, but it trick to lock your brakes sometimes when on a dirt road,

    Ah ok I hadn't watched the vids. I just wonder if the wiring is the same in our trucks because the op in that thread has a v6 truck.

    It's neat to watch,

    They slip some, then stop slipping and the tires bite,

    I was going to try to be real fancy and wire in a lighted switch, then I realized I'm not going to use it that much,

    and if I'm in 4WD low, the indicator flashes, that's my reminder that the switch is thrown, which just gives me the same Auto LSD whatever I have in 4WD Hi,

    I think the square tubing looks great, matches the jack points on your rear bumper also,

    :D For real, the only thing that might look better would be a 2012+ front end, because your square tubing would look great with the new sharp edges and angles on the newer Tacoma.

    FWIW, I have always liked the flares,

    maybe I haven't seen enough Tacomas w/out them...

    10-4,

    Guess it stems for me at east from the old SR-5 models that had the little chrome/rubber trim around the fenders, I always liked that, then the Gen-1 Tacos got the small plastic flares and now the large ones.

    I will admit, a lowered 2WD with the right rim selection looks pretty sweet!

    You talking about removing the plastic flares and trimming above the screw holes in them, or putting smaller flares on?

    I and trying to find a pic...

    Oh ok,

    So the size of the flare is reduced a bit and you get more clearance.

    Although these BW flares are pretty nice! Ignore then second set of doors, :-(
