    I did remove. Honestly didn't see much of an effect on MPGs, honestly.

    The fog setup is a Caliraised kit. Would recommend.

    I just have the stock sized 245 Firestone A/T. What sized tires you running?

    I added a new backup sensor. It screams like a pterodactyl when I start getting too close. Only works about 30% of the time too.

    Luna got a little bling after the ding.
    Can confirm no affect on TSS, thanks to random idiot who started to brake to make a left turn across a two-way single busy roadway, then decided that wasn't so smart and went right.:angrygirl:

    I see the kit has the option for the H11 OEM adapters. Would I also need to order OEM fog light wiring from Toyota? Assuming being an SR, there is no wiring running to where the fog lights mount up. I am aware of the possibility of being pre wired at the steering wheel stalk. Not sure what I need to go in between there, and to where the fog lights mount up.

    Oops! Forgot about that part.

    I ordered this button:

    https://caliraisedled.com/products/toyota-oem-style-fog-lights-switch

    And I *think* this wiring kit:

    https://caliraisedled.com/products/wiring-harness-dual-leg

    I've been too lazy to fish the wires through the firewall for over a year now and just ran it through the door jam. I really need to fix that but I never seem to find the time.

    Also I don't know if your truck has this, but I have a weird cable that is terminated right around the front grill area in front of the radiator. I'm wondering if that is factory fog wiring.

    Not the OP but I think that may be the speed sensor cable for upper Taco models.

    Just got new wheels on today. Fast HD Recon. Im a newby to wheels but as i researched, i found it was difficult to find oem sized wheels without fitment issues. Oem were +25, the Recons are +10 so they gave me about 3/4 inch poke over the oem.

    Did the vinyl(from tacovinyl), over the last 2 days. Went with heritage colors. First time ever doing vinyl. Not perfect but happy how it turned out.
    One "before" pic at the end, the rest after.

    I also spray the shocks with peppermint oil. They hate peppermint. The bulkhead (aka firewall) is also a good area to spray.
