    Nothing too exciting after my recent purchase of my one owner 2019 Limited. Weathertecs HP’s were a must have. I will install PPF on the door thresholds since they are in such clean condition when the weather here in Western NC warms up a bit. I was fortunate to find a gently used ARE Z topper from another same year and color matched Tundra owner on FB. This will be my 4th Tundra over the years. Loving this clean Limited and gonna take great care of it. A keeper!

    Long Live the 5.7 V8!!

    I'll be interested to see if it works out for you. I have one in my cart on Amazon, but after reading some of the reviews, I might pass. I hope it works for you, but you may want to make use of it a few times while your Amazon free return window is open.

    I'll return and buy the 4Knines version.
    Been very happy with my other 4Knines stuff over the years.
    I would rather have the straps that come with it than use a boot lace..:eek2:
    The 4Knines has a couple of features this one doesn't have, and hopefully all the parts.:D

    I dont think it looks too bad, I have the rough country led strip in mine but it looks like a solid strip strait across as to your having the sseparation. My wife says mine is too bright if im driving behind her, yours doesn't look too bad brightness wise20240324_051736.jpg

    Made use of some exceedingly-rare free time while baby napped to swap out the chrome 4x4 emblem for black. Part of the Fred Anderson sale. Have the black Tundra for the sides, still deciding on the 5.7 badge and Limited emblems, which route I'll go. Anyway a combo of dental floss and heat gun got the old emblem off easy, then a couple dabs of goo gone for the residual adhesive. Truck is filthy so just a spot wash and wax then on with the new one. I completely debadged my old 4Runner but decided to keep them on the truck for now as I like the look.
    Also added this tri-color badge I forgot I had, lol.
    Lastly I passed this sick 3rd gen while running errands. Not sure if they're members here. Very slick.

    Thanks, the side lights turn white with the interior lights so if I unlock it it lights up white under the truck, they are yellow with the truck running and they flash yellow with the turn signal.
    Ive had them at least 3 years now and have been good!

    They were a little stubborn at first, pretty sure they come from the factory with blue Loctite or equivalent thread locker. I had to heat both sides up for just a quick minute with standard propane torch and then was able to break them free with a large crescent wrench no problem. I did apply a small amount of blue Locktite on the new ones also before installing them.

    I recently installed a Dasaita G13 head unit. But before that I was using a wireless CarPlay dongle off of Amazon with the stock HU.

    Upgraded from a 10” to 12.5” Atoto X10 head unit. Those 2” make a huge difference (twss).

    How sturdy are those head units?? Not electronically, but physically, do they vibrate?? Do they move when you push on them?? I'm just planning ahead for when I get bored of the OEM one.
