Got a 42” Light bar from diode dynamics over Black Friday. Was a complete kit with brackets and relay wiring harness with switch. Extremely happy with these lights especially for how much they were.

Headlights are 2018 Oem led
Fogs are Baja Designs Squadron Pro in wide cornering

 

Hey awesome build. Question, after switching to 2018 headlights with new harness did you have to relocate "raptor lights" connection?

 

No. The park lamp is still the same wire. If you have a harness for the new headlights I would tap it from there though so your original harness remains untouched.

 

Good idea, thanks.

 

Played with the Carly app with the tundra. You have to purchase their WiFi adaptor to use it. It’s for ecu diagnostics and to turn features on/off. Thought I’d share it in case anyone is interested in it.

Bluebottle, I love your truck. Thanks for sharing all the goodness

 

Hey Blue. how is your Toytec Kit holding up? I'm considering Toytec or BDS for a 3" lift but have heard a few negative reviews from Toytec. Would love to be able to go Toytec because they are cheaper than BDS but don't want to risk purchasing a "bad" kit from Toytec. Thanks!

 

I love em. I have the radflo versions so they are higher end then the regular toytec boss. Rides so smooth. No problems. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again but if I had the moneys I would go blue.

 

not sure if you mentioned but how are your raptor lights mounted? i have mine held on with zip ties, but looks like yours arent

 

Double stick tape!

 

nice!! no movement or issues with that?

 

I’ve got my crosshairs trained on this setup! Sounds great thank you for the video and sound.

 

Been a while with no update.

Installed a kenwood Excelon dmx906s headunit w maestro rr module. Connects to the trucks can bus system to grab the trucks data. Comes w wireless Apple carplay. Also made my speakers from @james@tech12volts sound better. Bought everything needed for install from James.


Also put on a tailgate mat. Should have done this long time ago! Tired of hurting my knees climbing up there.

 

Just a tip. Youcan tuck that tailgate pad under the plastic trim at the top of the tailgate. Looks factory and stays put! Just remove the plastic fasteners and lift the lip to tuck the mat in.

 

Wow I didn’t think of that. But I placed the hook and loop on the plastic so I can’t do that now.

How do you clean this material? What do you use to clean/maintain it?

 

How do you like the Toyo tires over the Falken tires? In different weather conditions? Ride?

 

sorry I missed this. The Toyo’s feel better driving around. I think they are lighter. I had no complaints with the flaken’s except they got flat spots easily and I felt them driving for a few miles before they go away. I’m happy with the Toyo’s but would still recommend falkens if that’s what budget allows.

 

I’ve had these ring covers from @Adam AJT DESIGN for a while but just installed it today. This is great way to get rid of that chrome rings and will match my new AJT console trims!

 

@BlueBottle is there an option on the Kenwood to turn the screen completely off?

 

Yes. I believe all headunit do.

 

Some more goodies from @Adam AJT DESIGN

he has some high quality stuff for sure.

PS : I have a TRD pro shift knob for sale if anyone is interested. Silver $65 shipped conus

 

nice! Was it easy to change it out?
