    Both UCAs and LCAs; still on the fence regarding the new Magnussen supercharger. Also would like 285/75/16 but won’t CMC or lift so still researching best UCAs/castor/back space/offset for that. 1-2” of lift may not seem like much but I rather not raise the center of gravity.

    Sure thing and I have no idea yet lol. I know I’ll have to figure out the wiring for the switch though. I was gonna double check before I get that involved.

    I just have 26 or 24 gauge wire for it. I also got add a fuse for it. I’m undecided what I’ll have the leds shared with or if I just will end up splicing them with something else, like the Qi charger light.

    thats going to be nice, i have some low profile LEDS that i will be doing, i did see the Q switch is easy to use for the lights. I don't even use mine even though i have wireless charge and it works great, i have the TacoGarage mount so i may replace that switch with something else.

    That’s a pretty good idea too. I’ve not used the Qi switch at this point since I connect by usb. I still need to decide where to place them inside. I’m thinking of adding one for under dash each side and in the back to light the floors some. I just gotta make sure it’s not too bright. My old prius had the floor lit some and it was nice.

    I did the under the dash, they are awesome, they are on with my day running lights so even in the day they are lighting up the foot well. i am so used to them that if the lights are off it looks crazy without the light. i am going to put one or two in the glove box, 1 or 2 in the center console and then figure out some scattered via the truck.

    DOT requires tests which means $$$. These costs then get passed on to the consumer in the way of huge price increases.

    I sure will, just found out I can get my truck inspected 3 months before the initial date so I might be able to purchase the taillights within the next couple of weeks if I pass inspection haha

    Aesthetically, they are better than the stock chrome headlights and I like how the DRL is a lot bigger and same with the sequential turn signals. Performance-wise, the halogen bulbs they come with are not very good. Replacing the bulbs with LEDs/HIDs can void the warranty for the headlights. So there is a bit of a trade-off when you buy them for the aesthetics. The newer headlights are better in my opinion and they look like the 2020 TRD Pro headlights
