    Some day when I'm bored I'll go down to a automotive junkyard and take apart one of each automotive brand sealed electrical connector and show that they ALL crimp directly onto the insulation as well as crimping directly onto the copper wire.

    After much research and courage from this forum. I finished my three day project of replacing my:

    CV axles, inner and outer tie rods, end links, wheelbearing and hubs, upper and lower control arms, ball joints, inner and outer differential seals, coils and struts, caster/camber kit. All Both sides. Topped off with differential fluid change.

    But oh my god, the rusted bolts.... kill me.

    Whaaaaat that’s sweet iv never even thought about the ability to get an aftermarket key fob like that. That’s a pretty cool idea and it looks sweet. I’ll have to look into that. Do you have any links for it?

    They also sell their products on Amazon and they may be a little cheaper.

    I am not sure if this is much help to you, but for my application (I have a Leer cap that I've converted to an overlanding camper with 200W solar panels on top), I ran the power for the scene rackmounted LED lights down between the cab and bed, under the front of the truck bed, and up through the hole in the bottom front corner of the bed, then into my MPPT solar panel control electronics (which is mounted in the side of the bed). I have 200A-h batteries in my "camper" bed.

    Tonight I am headed to the park to test out the lights in complete darkness.

    I currently have the TRD shift knob and I love it. It’s round like a que ball and has TRD engraved in the side in red and the shift pattern up top in white. I love the feel of it. Fits in my hand perfect. And it’s grey so it matches my interior.

    Funny story actually the shift pattern is written right on the knob and the guys at the tires shop still always put it into 6th trying to reverse.
