    You can pickup the 3D printed insert for the from @RainMan_PNW; it fits 3 of the factory style Toyota switches so it’s perfect for that

    I love this forum, appreciate all the help!! My wallet has a different opinion though lol:spending:

    Got my new headlights in the mail today and got them installed! Probably my favorite mod for these trucks that came factory with halogen lights. The LED looks so much better!! Thanks iHacker for the harness and Sparks Toyota for the lights.:hearteyes:

    OTT Tune completed today in Lubbock Texas by Sharue High Performance. I am now a believer! I went with the Medium/Spicy as recommended by my tuner due to running 37’s with stock gears (4.30). Throttle responsiveness, power /torque delivery so much better. Definitely woke the truck up. Will revisit them after I have the 5.29 gears installed to adjust if needed.

    Thanks! Highly recommend, been wanting to do this for the past 2 years, but was busy doing other things on/to the truck. Decided to finally go get it done after reading every post, article, review etc on OTT I could find. You won’t be disappointed, whole next level of enjoyment driving my truck, definitely more SPG (smiles per gallon) and time will tell but seems like I am getting 1-2 mpg better - Lubbock is 125 miles from my home so based on refueling upon return. Even if it doesn’t the pure satisfaction/enjoyment of driving it as it is is well worth it.

    Installed Toyota on my dashboard on my 21 TRD Pro. I will take daytime pic's tomorrow. The flash really enhanced the reflective pattern at night. Picked them up on eBay and figured I'd try to add a little new Tundra into an older Tundra. Would of preferred flat black but could not find them. Also really didn't want to go through the headache of trying to paint them while trying to keep the red accent.

    I went under my truck with the grease gun, to lube the propeller shaft, only to realize it’s not needed on a 21. I was looking closely for the zirc fittings. LOL.

    Added some DirtKing 3/4" shackles to help with the rear sag. I was also having some crazy squeaking/creaking before, and used a bunch of Energy Suspension poly bushing grease on everything and its silent now. Feels good!
