    Had some bad luck and some good luck
    The bad is getting clipped by an over-eager lane cutter. :frusty:Thankfully I could drive home and haven't sold my 4Runner yet, so I have a working car while I go through the insurance gauntlet. Only been two days but I already miss driving the Tundy. Look what they did to my boy!

    The good is the early arrival of the Alpine head unit, part of the great Alpine rush of 2023. Can't wait to get the truck back from the shop and get this installed! I've watched so many install and feature videos, it is going to be awesome. So I have a little time to procure the other supplies needed.

    Not pictured is an ebay bed step I got but also will wait to install

    Ahhh yes, much better. Those P-rated LTX's that I had for the last 30k miles on this truck were tired. On to the Destination X/T E-rated!

    Color matched and installed some chase lights in an aftermarket third brake light. Fiberglassed and smoothed the transitions from lights to bezel. Wired everything up to match the brake lights with a simple “rear lights” button inside the cab.

    New tires are on! 295/70r18 on +25 methods. I tried to use the heat gun method and on while doing off camber reverse turns still had fender liner rubbing. I didn’t want the funny line of a bumper shim so I compromised. I removed a small portion but left enough to protect the back of the fog light assembly. Now it is nowhere near anything. I attached some pictures to help answer the most common tundra questions :D

    A PC and tow haul are two separate things. They operate differently.

    Looks so good. Fwiw I was able to move my whole front inner fender forward a great bit and just re fasten it from the bottom. Leaving the liner intact

    Agreed. One is shift points and one is throttle response from the way I understand it. I don’t have one, but my buddy has the PC were playing around with it and it was pretty lively off the line. Seemed to be a difference using both (maybe not-could just benperception ). Anyway the lag was gone and acceleration seemed to be pretty damn quick. I’d say close to any 3.5 ecoboost for a short duration with a high rpm holding those points longer.

    Same thing happens when you press the gas farther initially. That's what the PC does.

    first you go and send me down a rabbit hole on buying cheaper lights and trying my first retro fit... then you send me down another google session on what are chase lights, followed by what tail lights are different than yours but I could try the same with.... And now you go and post a video and some pics.... back to google again.....

    Side note, my stock tail light is taking on moisture... I think that means new tails right?

    Geno is also incredible at answering pm's with info. I've definitely asked him lots of questions about his mods.

    Good to know and thank you. I have been holding off on one of those switch ports (not using a brand name on purpose) but feel this would help justify and be useful on the game roads and what not.

    Thanks for the compliments!!
    For your stock taillight, I would check the rubber grommets where the bulbs are seated. One may be cracked or missing.
    For the switch pod, you may not need one! I don’t. IMG_9013.jpg

    I like that a lot! You did it clean!

    I will check them when I go to reinstall my dash cam. Thank you for the advise!

    I want the switch port for ease of use, but I also know I am not going to install everything at the same time, plus you found a great way to use that useless spot. I finally started putting my park access cards there just to do something with it.

    Thanks! Right now I’m not using all the switches (buttons). They’re wired to the engine bay, ready for relays and whatever is next.

    Another idea I may have to pursue instead. And prewiring them is way better than running each time. During our gap in time here I was looking at making my own distro block setup LOL.

    This forum is the worst sometimes.
