    i just go to the album i want to upload pics to and then hit upload. Or when you hit upload should be a drop down bar to select which album you want it to go too.

    Meh, yeah but I'm sick of doing that since I upload all my Tacoma photos into the same album. Ah I'll figure it out, if anything I'll just start uploading em into the "Your Bucket"

    Did this today. Epoxy is drying as I type. I used Loctite Plastic Bonder Epoxy. I ended up using a 1 1/4 hole saw to drill the hole. I did this so I didn't have to be so precise when glueing the mount. Worked perfect. Thanks for the write-up. Now I just need to get my TG bumper painted and installed.

    Fast as in you have "hyper blink" that occurs when you use LEDs? All you have to do is swap out the relay for one designed to use with LEDs. My blinkers flash at the standard rate, and are LED.

    Well I don't know if it is an LED....all I did was cut the accrual light bulb off and reconnected the wire to the parking light bulb. And that's when its started blinking fast. I just thought that since the parking light bulb is so much smaller the the turn signal it had to do with amount of current going threw the bulb. But I have no clue. But its really not that big of deal.

    That is probably the issue, since LEDs draw less power and cause hyper blink as a result, the smaller bulb drawing less power has the same effect on the system. If you care, which you seem not to, you could try the LED relay. That might solve your problems. If it doesn't, well you're out like 5-10 bucks.

    Hey Monte. I'm assuming that I have to use my old blinkers from my stock front bumper to do this mod? Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Yes the bulbs and harness from the two lights in the bumper. And in your case the mounts from the housing too
