Installed my SSO bumper and Rigid Lightbar yesterday. I Still have to install the brackets on the sides today. I think it looks great!

 

I moved my ARB compressor over to make room for the Auxbeam switch panel. Now I just need some fun things to connect to it!

 

Worth the $210 for it? Does it stay on the set profile until manually changed, or does it default to a profile each startup?

 

I ordered one today. Added the matte Black color Front Plate $6.00.


Used the coupon code/ SNOWWHITE

OTD with Free shipping was 194.00.

It’s on its way.

 

The switches feel like they're "LOCKED" Didn't feel like checking fuses after cutting grass & then dinner, Didn't see one that stood out for windows. I'll look in the manual. Just weird how the switch allows to open window BUT can not pull up on switch.

 

I'm gonna try pg 148 from 4RUNNER (U) OM3584BU) see what happens No luck. When holding the button down after it's open for 4 or more sec I hear a relay clicking in the door.

 

I’m throwing crap to see if it will stick.

Motor seem like it working? Window is in the track, clips on the bottom in place. I’m trying to think of things as it sounds like your switch is working if your hearing a noises in the door when using button.

again, I am tossing uneducated thoughts out.

 

Just reread this, are you saying the switch does not move when you try to close the window, but will go down.

 

Yep, it doesn't default back. It stays on the setting you had it on last. Definitely worth the money! I paid $188 using CODE: expeditionbuilds10

Aftermarket; purchased from local AutoZone and VDO was mfg name.

 

There's several videos and write ups online about how to remove a dash to remove the stock head unit... But anyone know how the vents and the vent "wheels" that open and close them come out? I cant find anything online about removing them. But it looks like they have to be transferred over to the dash kit.

 

Completed my SDHQ bumper, Warn VR8S EVO, Mile Marker thimble install - 2019 ORP.

Did most of it a few days ago but had to wait for the thimble to arrive today to "officially" complete it.

I really like the Mile Marker thimble. It's hard rubber and basically goes over the existing loop in the winch cable so there's no need for additional pins and such like with Factor 55 or Smittybilt AWS thimbles. You sling a D ring shackle through it and you're good to winch. Costs $35 with free shipping from MM, too! I ordered a second one for my wife's SR5 that has the exact same winch setup as soon as I got this one unboxed and installed.





Full writeup is here (three posts due to pic size):

 

The wheel part I think is held on by a couple of tiny screws then they fall right out; for the vents themselves, if you look closely, you'll see 4 tabs around the perimeter of each vent. Just gently lift each tab one by one to free the vent.

 

MESO extended fuse cover is back in stock. Just ordered one myself.

 

Yes I can put the widows down at the respective door BUT the switch will NOT pull up to close. I have owned it since new 22-Dec-2018, can't say I ever tried the windows from their doors until past Sunday.

 

So, window goes down with switch at its door, but will not go up with it’s door switch as that switch won’t move in that direction. But the windows work as expected with drivers door switches?

I'm have the issue with the other three doors, not the back window. Thank you

 

Ya, I thought it was a passenger door, but thought some of the info would be of help to troubleshoot it.

so, it’s all three passenger doors. Wow, they talk about an ecu or module in something I read this morning, I wonder if something like that is the issue.

good luck.

 

Yeah I haven't done any real T-shooting yet, just quick check from OM pg 148. No luck. I'm gonna pull fuses tonite BUT I don't believe that to be an issue being I can Open from the door just not close from that door. D/S has full control. Some kinda lock feature??? Thanks for the advice

 

It sure seems to be a window lock feature, but if it was locked, I wouldn’t think you could open the windowed from passenger doors. Almost seems like switches were not programmed all the way.

 

Yeah I agree & I really do not remember if my wife ever tried to put window up since New? She's rarely in it.On weekends she would drive when I was doing the commute @ previous job.

 

Added some lug nut covers today. The black blends well with the wheels and I had to add a little bit of rainbow to the ride.

Before:


After (black):


After (rainbow):

 

Installed RCI AI front skid, RSG Angled Sliders w/top plate, RSG KDSS Skid and relocated the rear diff breather.

 

Stopped in Toyota and picked up a Oil Filter and Oil and a TRD Exhaust.

 

Thanks man, have you done this? Was it a pain to remove them without breaking anything?



The one reason I have been hesitant on replacing the stock radio is because of the way the dash ends up looking... Unless you go with a huge floating screen the dash just looks empty... And lots of the floating screens, besides being expensive, also block the air vents... That's a no go for me.

Just seen this online... Definitely think I'll be painting mine like the 2nd picture. That looks much better painted black around the radio, seems to make it look "fuller"

 

Yeah, I ran the T9 for a little while, then switched to a Kenwood; so I’ve done it twice! Lol. The empty space looks worse in pictures than it does in person. I was originally worried it was going to bother me too, but it doesn't. I have the flat Metra dash kit, in black. The Schoche with the inner bezel painted a different color like that doesn't look too bad at all.
