    This is why I'm wanting black housing taillights, and not just putting a film on the OEM's. I need all the light I can because somehow an orange truck seems to be invisible to other motorists :annoyed:

    New 2nd battery came in today to replace the ancient circa 2007 AGM battery I’ve been using. Best part is I had some old Bitcoin I forgot about that was valued around $180 at the time but now that Bitcoin has gone up more than 10x got me a nice 100ah Renogy lithium battery for pretty much free! Waiting on a new MPPT controller and some various electrical bits so I can clean up my install when I install the new battery this week.

    That's really cool. I hope he enjoys it and it works out for him. Your post reminded me of a video that I saw over the weekend. There is this show called America's Got Talent. They had a kid on there who was about 18 or so, who was blind and autistic. He tried out, played the piano and sang. Truly amazed at the talent that he had, and he won the golden buzzer. My point is that because of parents like you, doing something like that for something that he enjoys and has a talent for, is highly credible. I wish him the best of luck!!

    I did the same with my DD 8" a few months ago. System is nice but I guess I'm getting old, stock was much quieter and don't miss the rumble at all. You will sell it quickly, took me less than a day to sell mine.

    I'm going to wind up doing something similar to this: https://www.tctwraps.com/product-page/reverse-light-overlays-14-17-tundra

    The solution at that link is waaaayy too dark - I just want the smoke to match the lightly smoked stock headlights. But I don't want to see any full-volume chrome. I have a shop down the street that's getting me a quote to put smoked vinyl on.

    On a stock engine (stock cams, heads, manifolds) the ram air effect of a snorkel does little to nothing for performance. I'd love to see the dyno numbers showing a significant increase with a snorkel. They were made to keep your air intake high and dry. Plain and simple.

    Which is covered in the article. That’s the reason I have it. Colorado trails can be very dusty. I just posted that to appease the people who think it’s just for driving in rivers. Plus it looks cool.

    Hey Andy, nice truck, especially the color.

    1. The plastic dot I had in the center of my dash was not a light sensor. It was just a piece of plastic in the place where a sensor would go. Fortunately the wiring to connect to the new sensor was connected to this piece so after I popped the existing one out with a tiny flat head screwdriver, I was able to plug the new one in and slide it right in. The whole thing took less than a minute. I tested it out and it works. Now I will be able to see my head unit when I turn my headlights on during the day.

    2. Neither charger install was too difficult. For the installation of the charger tray I watched a Youtube video that walked me through it and the instructions for the USB I found on a post from Tundras.com. Both installs start with the removal of the rear piece of the center console with a trim removal tool. You need to partially open the top of the console to get it off properly.

    So far I like it. I had one on my 100 series and this is just as good. The stencil lined up perfectly and the quality is on par with the safari for less $. Plus this one seems to be a little less bulbous than the safari. I will say cutting the big oval hole is more challenging than the round hole in other trucks I’ve done.

    I mean....come on....of course the color is awesome! I'll be ceramic coating mine in a month or so too.
    But thanks for the info. I've considered doing the usb charger to quick charge. I don't have a phone to wireless charge, which is no big deal. I really don't need to charge in my truck often anyway, but there's been a time or 2 it would been helpful. I'll have to see about tackling that soon. Thnx again bud. :fistbump:

    What brand tint did you use? I have tried numerous times to lay some tint on my lights with no success. While I’m no pro with vinyl, I find it much easier to work with on the body. Any tips for the lights!
