    I got 50% Llumar ceramic tint. The darkest you can legally go here in VA. I would like to go darker, but don’t feel like giving them probable cause to pull me over.

    Is that 50% just in the fronts? What do you have on the backs?
    I'm getting mine done sometime in the next couple weeks. Can legally do 35 on the fronts, but I'm torn know what to do on the backs. The factory tint doesn't have any reflection or UV protection, so I'm planning to overlay something. 50, 35, maybe 20?

    I went to a local RV Dealer show today. And found this in their parts/accessory store on sale. I was going to order one this weekend. It was $1 more than Amazon. I'm going to pull the dash panel next to the radio off and epoxy something behind the panel to hold the magnetic base in place. Pics of it installed will follow when I get around to it.

    The back is the factory tint. I may have the same 50% tint added over it at some point.

    I get the same feeling. I called @darkknight2014 and he didn't answer his phone so I decided to check what's going on in the forum and here he was a posting
    And in was actually giving him benefit of doubt that he "might have been busy" lol

    Well I finally installed the OEM 2018 led headlights and fogs, nice!

    I don’t know if it’s normal but the drivers side is higher then Pax, any way to correct that?

    Thanks

    I believe you turn the little screw on the leveling motor clock wise to adjust it down

    Geno, my driver side was higher than the passenger side too. There were several comments about this from others. I checked the level on my garage door before installing the LED headlights as a reference point so it was easy to see and adjust after installation. I looked on the back of the original headlight housing to see where the adjustment is. There is a funnel type channel on the outer end of each light that you can insert a phillips head screwdriver into to adjust. I found a video on one of the install threads that explains this, but doesn't show the adjusters.

    How to adjust headlights...Thread #325...

    You can totally post pics of your guns in safe or a holster on this forum. Maybe not with the barrel up in one hand, and a fan of Benjamins in tha other tho-.

    Proud of you, Man; that's fantastic!! And $600/mo. mod money going forward. :transformer:
    I'd LOVE to see a start to finish thread on this. If you can take the time to hook us up with a play-by-play, please photo every step, even the ones you think any fool could figure out.

    Fools don't have a clue. :anonymous:
    Nope, I think that's the new half-safe that Locker-Down just put out. The one from Toyota is made by E&G Classics. A couple little issues with each but, overall, gonna be great products. Right now, 2 main differences are:
    -- Locker-Down half-safe only has 2 bolts to secure it, and one forum member found they weren't aligned right, and supplied bolts threaded the wrong length; BUT the owner of Locker-Down promised to make it right. The Toyota E&G Classics half-safe has a base plate that covers the entire floor of the console, and is secured by 4 bolts.

    --The lock options are a bit different.

    -- The E&G Classics from Toyota sometimes has the top corner near the A/C plug-in get bent in shipping. You can easily bend it back by hand, but that's not the point.

    Let me know if you need links to threads on either one. I'll be happy to help.

    I'm crying. So.Much.Love this.

    I'm not even gonna hold back. Gotta share it with the other bromancers I know on here:

    @GNTundra @coosbaybaker @Jsena

    And gonna text it to the RE homies that will appreciate it!
    Hey. Checkin' in on the forum is Important. :cool:;)
    Glad you made equity work for you! Ahead on equity = set up for life! Congratulations on this and a brand new custom home! :cheers:
    Gotta love the homies that love you! Bro :thumbsup: :headbang:

    Yup. That link to the video I posted says this too. I adjusted my LED headlight set to be the same as my stock headlight set was before the change - checked before the change up using my garage door and marked with painter's tape. Then it was easy to check and adjust after install.
