    I like that, too. How do you screw the knob on without twisting the wires around the shaft?

    First off. The obvious answer to this question is 'Maybe you should ask your wife" - I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Please laugh with me. Secondly, I have an extra shift box sitting in my garage I found on eBay that I've been playing with the plumbing. My final goal is 7 wires. (1) 3 way switch for FRAC on the thumb side, (2) slimline push-button switches on passenger side that control 'tow/haul' and 'traction control' - I'm not sure about the plumbing of all 7 though. I'm going to start with 5 and see where I land. I've drilled diagonally up the shaft. If I hard plumb the wires from inside the shifter box I can slide the handle down the wires twist the handle on, and then connect my wires. I mean, in my head it all works.

    DAMNIT. It was so simple. Honestly though, I need help figuring out how to use a relay so I can use the smallest gauge wires possible into this shifter handle.

    Looking good. Did you do the 4x4 knob or dash mat?

    Grill swap today. I'm not set on the front bumper yet, so I'll plasti-dip for now. Still waiting on more parts. Hope to be done by Thanksgiving.

    IMG_0583.jpg I added the Garmin mini dashcam for all of the crazy Floridian drivers and tourists. I took the advice from Chloe Kuo from YouTube. So far I like it, my only concern is it has a history of overheating in parking mode but I don't plan on using it since I have security cameras at home and I work on a base. I used velcro and some zip ties to hide all of the wires, fortunately, you cannot see any wires!

    Took the cheap route instead of dropping for LED replacements (which I still want). Meguiar’s Heavy Duty Headlight Restoration kit, about 45 minutes and some elbow grease, they look new to me!!!
    Pleasantly surprised with how they cleaned up!14F6F1F5-E2EB-487F-87E6-B434D0AEA607.jpg 2EFD39B4-FB1E-4EA8-93AF-EBAEB02B42B0.jpg 7D0096FC-4650-4C91-A6A8-38895BDCF0C8.jpg 24E6B786-EE7C-446D-8A9E-A492D3A84B68.jpg

    Connect to the Garmin drive app via Bluetooth. If an update is available it will pop up or show under settings. Latest firmware is 7.90

    They came out really nice and are more comfortable. Plus a new rear Husky floor liner and I'm ready for the ski season that won't happen. Katzkin Tundra "factory" leather.

    Looks new. How many miles do you have on your truck? I'm asking because I have 2016 as well and seeing the lights like that is concerning considering the age.
