    So I "accidentally" bought a 12,000 warn winch. Tundra is stock SR5, will I need to modify suspension to carry that weight or can I just worry about the winch? Might do a level kit so might as well cover that now too, if its important.

    They're actually really easy to install if you know the basics and watch a few videos. I did mess up the wiring on the passenger side but it was an easy fix to correct. I spliced the passenger side wiring backwards but I was able to go back in there and correct it.

    I am impressed with these, Harbor Freight did a great job. The left side of the tractor has the combo flood/spot and the right side is the spot. You can see the combo light does a better distribution in both width and length. I will be getting another one and swapping out the spot, or using the spot on another piece of equipment. The side shots were taken to show people using them as ditch lights, I think the spread is great. It even lit up behind the tractor as one photo shows.

    Feedback and impressions added to my OTT or not thread so it's easily searchable down the road for future consideration of others.

    Overall very satisfied with my decision and Matt's work.

    Nope I’ll keep the one out of the truck. I’ll technically have two spares unless mdl buys the other unit.

    I'm presuming those don't work on button-start models. Maybe I'm wrong?

    Unsure, I'm keyed... I don't see anything on their website distinguishing between keyed and push button start.

    These UCAs got a refresh today. I’ve been running them without the caps, so moisture doesn’t get trapped inside. I’ve noticed a little corrosion and rust happening inside. I’m in the California desert, and there shouldn’t be rust anywhere. 2K clear for maximum protection.
    Also an update on the Por15 brake caliper paint. It looks fantastic still, super easy and relatively inexpensive mod. It was done mid March of last year.

    Just read the description on their web site (I hadn't before writing my earlier question). Squinting as I write this, as it stands a signficant risk of being a stupid question... Once you start your truck, if you turn the kill switch off, I'm presuming the truck stays on. It just interrupts the starter, correct?
