    Lol I was driving with my ditch lights and lightbar on then they started flickering and now they won’t turn on. The ditch lights are wired separately from the lightbar. The backlighting for both switches were flickering too. Gotta figure this out in the morning lol.

    I have both the relays mounted on a relay holder under the hood. That’s the only thing I can think of that might be causing this issue

    everything else works fine

    Here's the link the the flush mount bracket. A guy here on TW makes them. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-replace-big-ugly-stock-bracket-20-23.555133/

    Regarding your grille, you probably are better off spraying it. I think you'd get a better tone of black. I found mine on ebay. It's cool, I like it, but the tone of the matte black is not as dark as I thought it'd be. I would like it to be a deeper black.

    Installed the puddle switch kit and after I put the KTJO a pillar back on and started the truck, I got a PCS error with flashing light and a constant loud alert tone and an email for the error. Had a bit of a moment of pure dread. But then I dug in to find the error. Removed the a pillar cover and found that one of the harnesses was a bit loose. Odd, but fixed so did some zip ties to secure everything as quite a bit of additional wiring in there now. Didn’t get a chance to button everything down and take photos.

    Changed out the coolant, Toyota made this easy.

    Remove the passenger wheel, pop the top plastic clip out and gently fold the splash shield down.

    And find this handy block drain.

    A long extension and a 10MM socket.

    KIMG2971.jpg

    And some 5/16" ID hose, it fits the radiator drain too. If you leave the radiator cap on when you drain the radiator (before draining the block) it will siphon the fluid out of the recovery bottle too.

    Didn't spill a drop.

    :yes:

    It was! :thumbsup:

    I was expecting a pipe plug block drain like old engines had - you always got coolant everywhere but the drain pan.
    This job was a breeze.

    Wait for a Toyota parts sale and take the time shopping around different dealerships online (it's crazy how wildly different the prices of parts are from one dealer to another...even in the same city). I'm sure others have found better deals but I got mine around Black Friday with free shipping for just under $280.
