    The Tacoma has a factory 100/400W inverter & they only have 12g, maybe 10g, wire ran to the rear. If you're doing 500W or less, 10g would be fine. You can run a fair amount of items off a 500W inverter.

    Looks good...I have the exact same one for all the same reasons. It's a solid piece of kit. I ended up with an small, orange Magpul Daka bag for my charging cords and power packs. Kepts the other side clean and easy to see.


    Pfft...steel is cheap. American labor is not. I'm happy to pay to keep a "neighbor" fed.

    Personally, I'd go with black. The whites of the emblem and leather cover don't match and that would annoy the hell out of me.

    I hear you, Ron. I admit the overlay is the next best option to paint. It is easier for sure.

    Order a black overlay and stage it to see if you like how the black plastic will mesh with the rest of your wheel, dash, & interior. If it appeases, then great, run the black. If not, then rattle them rattle cans and warm up that index finger, and shoot red on the overlay...
    before installing it, of course.

    Got radiator replaced due to rookie mistake. Finished up installation on Switch Pro 9100. Ended up mounting it on dash onto trim piece. My thinking was if I went back to OEM, this piece would be cheapest to replace versus drilling out center console.

    Only main issue I had, besides radiator, was having to run light blue wire into cab. I couldn't tap into ignition under the hood due to an add a fuse already there from LED headlight harness. I ended up tapping into red wire under center console that powers accessories. Pretty easy install and really like the ease of adding more lights in future without having to deal with inline fuses and relays.

    Made a trip to the dump this morning. Had to clean up the garage for things that wife said she might need but haven't touched in a couple years. Even the dump price went up. Smh

    Also added these awhile back.

    Installed front super duper red sway bar and painted the hardware for the rear bar today. The front TRD bar is MUCH beefier than the OE stock bar. I’m driving it, I can feel a decent difference. Reduced body roll and better response is definitely apparent. With all of the hype surrounding the rear bar, the truck ought to corner like a cat on carpet once I’m through with it tomorrow. Also getting tint scheduled for this week. Good times.

    Oh and bought some 295/70/18's off a fellow member a few days ago and just ordered some coachbuilder shims. Can't wait to get them on. Next up are wheels, thinking SCS Ray 10's (if they are able to restock soon), SCS SR8's or Method 316's.

    Replaced right turn signal bulb! Had the crazy fast interior blinking going whenever I was hitting the turn signal to make a right turn. Easy swap. Accessible with the pop of the hood, rotate connector counterclockwise, replace bulb, righty tighty, test and good to go!
    Used Sylvania Long Life 3157NA bulb (4157NA bulb is also compatible).

    Yes please
    I like your choice of location for the push buttons. I like the SDHQ mount for my 1794 but your location seems closer to line of sight.

    Finished my trans cooler install today. I am returning the cheap WiFi OBDII scanner I got to Amazon and getting a Veepeak. My phone kept rejecting the WiFi because it wasn’t getting any data from it. It was annoying to have to reconnect so many times. Hoping the Veepeak will be more consistent since it connects via Bluetooth.

    Anyway, pan temp stayed under 175°F, and the TC stayed with it mostly, peaking at 205°F at one point.

    This was without towing and with an ambient temp of 40°F.
