    View was great, but it put the seat a little too far back for me and I felt like I was reaching for the pedals.

    Quality seemed good and install was simple :thumbsup:

    @Red-Barn I added this to my truck and couldn't be happier. As a safety note though, the oem switch will reverse if your hand, a dogs paw or anything hits the window while closing to prevent the window smashing the obstruction. Unfortunately, this switch, or any after market switch, does not have that safety feature. It works great if you are aware of this while using it though. https://ebay.us/m/NgAGpD

    That looks worth trying for price. No kids and dogs usually would ride in topper. Think for rear I would fab some protective covers for switches just in case

    The switch I linked is only for the drivers side so all other doors would remain oem. I do know if you want auto switches for all doors there are other kits available. If dogs are in the back seat you could also lock the switches from the drivers sider master panel if you did end up getting the whole set.

    The way I figure it, the driver is the only one who "needs" an auto up switch. The passengers can suffer through the first world problem of having to hold that switch til the window is up. :rofl:

    On to other build topics. What headlights are you going with?

    Also, you're going to need some swag on your build list. https://www.toyomafia.com/goods

    I haven't sorted out the headlights yet. Maybe oem 2019 pro is good enough but need to know other options/light configurations.

    Get a quality LED and you'll be happy. If you don't go oem these are the 2 brands I would be looking at.

    Morimoto is expensive but considered top notch. https://www.morimotohid.com/morimot...67Bu65XmLYataxjXkECTjwFtHwPvqugRoCdmQQAvD_BwE

    VLAND is a cheaper option, but only has a one year warranty. I bought Vlands for my 2012 on eBay and have had zero issues for over 2 years now. Light output is far superior to stock. https://www.vlandus.com/products/vl...pKTwi756sPQ9g86q8hC9i552tfM4OZ0BoCpU8QAvD_BwE

    The VLAND look good. Head & Tail kit.
    Wonder if plug n play only for trucks w/ existing LED lights? Unclear if wire harness needed or resistors etc

    It will be plug and play with the resistors already in the wiring harness they supply. I also have the head and tailight combo from them. This is the same eBay store I bought from. Different tail light then the one linked above but I'm sure you can find what you want if you look around more.

    Thank you
    I'll check out options. First link had nice tails.
    I think I would prefer clear lenses with black so to speak vs smoked lenses. maybe they have that option. The DLR's seem bright.

    Circling back to answer this, I am pretty sure these are just like my original 2017 SR5 halogens that have amber bulbs as DRLs. So DRL yep, but not LED strips

    Um? Interior chrome delete?
    OK I have the 2016 SR5 now. Looking at center section from climate controls back to armrest is there a replacement kit for the whole darn thing? The kits I've seen so far are made up of bits an pieces. What else is out there?
    Bits are ok for steering wheel, door handles and door armrest trim.
