    I finally got my grilles center logo backlight with a RGB LED. I have it hooked up to my iPhone via a app for various color control options. IMG_8950.jpgIMG_8955.jpg

    I'm working on installing my Rigid RGB led rock lights today. I decided to mount my led color affects control unit next to my other switches. Here are the front and rear led lights mounted in place. I still need to do the wiring yet. IMG_8995.jpg IMG_8996.jpg IMG_8998.jpgIMG_8999.jpg

    ^^^ Looks like a cockpit with all those switches. I wonder what the record is for lights on a tundra. You must be getting pretty close. I couldn't imagine all that wiring you've had to do for all of that. You must me an electrician lol! We're gunna need a pic at night sometime in a field with all these lights on at once. This might be a stupid question, but I know nothing about electrical, Have you had to add any additional batteries for all these lights? Or just for backup just in case?

    I'm not an electrician but I did stay at a Holiday in last night. Lol. I don't run all the lights at the same time so I don't need multiple batteries. I do plan on changing my battery out when I do my stereo install. I'll get some night pics after I finish the install.

    Are you going to change out the head unit I assume? I just havent seen anything that looks as good as factory. All I'm wanting to do is add a sub or two for some extra thump but I'm not looking to switch out the H/U. What plans are you thinking about? I'm expecting some crazy 1upper setup like 5 amps and a 12" woofer in each door and a dozen tweeters on the door pillars or some totally radical over the top setup lol. You've got one bad ass Tundra bro! Hopefully we can get together sometime so I can see all this in person.

    I've had several Pioneer Avic model head units over the years and they've always been great. So I'm considering the Pioneer AVIC 8201NEX head unit. I've already got my focal KRX2 components for the front and rear, two 10" image dynamics subs, my box, my JL audio amps and my door speaker mounting plates. I prefer a more crisp and clean sounding stereo over something loud and overly bass sounding. I still need to mount up my train horns this week. So that's my next project after the rocklights.

    So while I was working on installing the rocklights and wiring I decided to disassemble the shifter to paint the chrome. It only takes a few minutes to take apart the shifter which is always difficult to clean around. So here some pics showing the shifter disassembled. All you need is a plastic prytool. There are no screws or fasteners to do this. IMG_9004.jpg
    Before I cleaned out the dust and dirt. IMG_9008.jpg
    I masked off the chrome area around the shifter so I can paint it with high gloss plasti dip.
    IMG_9002.jpg
    After I painted the chrome trim. The clear pc on the left is mounted under the shifter bezel for lighting. It's crazy how much dust and dirt was under these parts.
    IMG_9018.jpg
    Here is a pic after I painted the chrome trim around the shifter and the drink holder.

    There are only two of the lights running and I just had two random colors on for this photo. Once I finish the final soldiering and wiring I'll get some better pics. IMG_9015.jpg

    Here's a pic of my truck cleaned up for cars and coffee car meet yesterday. I wish I could run the blue halos while driving. I always have them on white when I'm driving. IMG_9120.jpg
    I was doing some testing on my Rigid Industries RGB led rock lights. I took this pic with each corner on a different color. It's crazy how bright they are. IMG_9093.jpg

    I was going through some old photos and I ran across the 2nd Tundra I owned. Its a 2012 White CM 4x4 SR5. I'm still using the same Thule rack system for the past three Tundras. The Dragon Claw hitch on the truck has been with me for over 15 years now! I had the door handles and rear tailgate latch painted To match. Installed the tow mirrors. Installed a 7" BDS lift and TRD rear swaybar. I installed short spikes on the fender rivet locations.

    Oracle RGB led halos on the headlights and foglights. Ansani Designs Fiberglass insert with three KC Rally 800 driving lights.

    Fuel Nutz wheels 20"x12" Toyo Open Country M/T 35x12.5 Riveted fenders painted to match.
    IMG_1631.jpg
    I installed an RGB led light strip at the top behind my grille to change my backlighting colors. BMF front grille.

    The other two packs on the left are wire harness kits by Rigid. You don't have to use a rigid brand harness kit. You will need wiring, relay, fuse holder and the fuse. I would look for something on Amazon for a wire harness kit. You can go to otrattw for custom switches.

    How dis you know what wiring kit to get? Also did you do 60° or 20° lens? What's that's about?? And!!! You hooked them up with a switch? That means you didn't run them thru the reverse light set up? So you can manually turn them on without being in reverse??

    If you do a google or Amazon search for LED lightbar wire harness kit you will see many options. I went with the Rigid Dually flush mount spot lights. The degree lens refers to the width of the light pattern. I elected to run mine on a switch since I don't alway want to have 1,500 lumens shinning when I'm in reverse. Plus I like the option to switch them on if someone is tailgating. Not that I would ever suggest you do that. I have my Dually and 50" leds on manual switches. Plus I like to have the option to switch my rear lights on for outdoor activities.

    My new rotors and break pads are in. I'm replacing my front and rear rotors with slotted and cross drilled rotors. I also have new tires going on this week.
