    Finally got around to installing my Switch Pros 9100, SDHQ customized panel for the SP-9100's button module, and Power Tray.

    That MPG is wonky because I had the battery disconnected while wiring things up. I really don't get 0.1 MPG. ;)

    And I went ahead and cranked the front Icon coilovers up a little to level the stance. Of course, the nose will drop a little again after my SSO slimline bumper and winch arrive and are installed. Maybe I'll upgrade to 700lb springs after that happens.

    To be determined
    That’s entirely possible. Also doesn’t help that you have different expansion and contraction variables at play between plastic and rubber

    I purchased these wedge LEDs from eBay which are a perfect light blue.
    https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/362071509292
    And used a .25” LED lens (from 04 Scion xB cup holder illumination kit)which fit nicely to house the wedge LED and diffuses the light evenly. Can’t seem to find these clear lenses anywhere.

    Just tapped to the shifter indicator illumination which works off factory dimmer circuit.
    A cheap mod with great results. I also use 2 of these LEDs for footwell lighting.

    So, no socket? You just wire directly to the bulb?

    This is a good website for wedge bulbs. Actually, all bulbs in general. Lots of different kinds. Takes some hunting but whatever you need is probably there. It's like a website from 1995.

    I got 265/70/17 KO2's installed on Saturday. I previously had 285/70/17 Michelin Defenders on and the difference in braking, acceleration and handling is remarkable. Can't wait to see how they do on the beach and in the snow/slushy crap we tend to get a lot of here. IMG_20181117_170137108.jpg

    I didn’t use a socket. Just soldered wire directly to each LED wire leads.
    The parts shown in the photo is the only parts list I used, minus solder and electrical tape.

    FYI- I'm not sure about the quality of their bulbs. But if there's some obscure gauge cluster bulb or a bulb you can't find anywhere else, they probably have it.

    I have been a very good boy this year and Santa sent my Xmas presents early. Lift and KO2s going on tomorrow. Skids on Friday or if I don’t eat to much and can get the family to help on turkey day. Hopefully winch install and sliders next weekend. I’ll send pics.

    Me too. Those are the nicest looking Toyota brand wheels ever made! The only thing I don't like about them is you can never find them used. Prob cuz they are so badass

    Before leveling with Blistein 6112 set at 2nd circlip 1.4” KDSS. Stock back end. BA104A07-B450-4796-807F-E488216102F4.jpg

    After install along with KO2s 265/70/17
    916771E4-E970-4104-B098-B59821BD1819.jpg
    Went from 19.75” center hub to bottom of fender to 21 1/8” so Blisteins estimate of 1.4” is pretty darn close.
    Took a lunch break and now going to tackle first oil change, replace plastic filter housing with aluminum, install fumoto valve, and install full set of RCI aluminum skids.
