    I really like these tail lights from ~2010-2014. Can someone tell me if the OEM’s would be plug and play on a 2019?

    It is approximately the same thickness as the rest of the covers, and I find it is more than sufficient. I ordered the longest size available. In my previous vehicle, I had ordered it as I was constantly loading dogs in and out of the back, and it kept the back tailgate plastic from getting all scratched up. Now that I live in the desert, I use it as a place to sit when I change my shoes, eat something or I'm just relaxing. Really helps with keeping the dust off of my clothes, so I don't drag it into the passenger area. It hangs all the way down to just above my hitch.

    Bad pic but it’s raining and I didn’t have my camera with me. Will grab an updated one this weekend. Massage the inner fender in and trim the very bottom of the bumper and done.

    H9 conversion (driver's side was a pain to get the light to fit in the housing). Quick capture w/ fall colors.

    I found that some runners ya just need to loosen and push the battery back for easy access to that bulb. For those that know me I've done it a dozen to many times! o_O

    Just did the H9 conversion, I had zero issues accessing either side. Didnt take it on the road yet.
    Edit: i used a step stool to be almost 2 feet higher and I was able to lean over the edge much easier.

    Does anyone have a good recommendation for the led fogs, headlights and high beams ? I seem to remember something about reverse polarity leds required. I don’t want regular halogen even with the h9 mod

    The worst ever in my life was the 2018 Murano - that thing was dangerous at night, it only lit 6 feet ahead. The 2019 Ram 1500 was a step better, still a horrible horrible horrible experience.
    The 4runner stock is better than both of them, period. I mean light years ahead (LOL, pun intended). I will take it for a spin tonight with the conversion.
    I got lucky, my Phillips are made in Germany; it seems the stocks are also Phillips made in Germany.

    I use the Morimoto XB Led for my fogs and I love them, Most will recommend the amber fogs, but I prefer the white lights.

    The stock H11s are long life bulbs. Sacrificed output so people won't have to change them as often. Seems silly to me o_O

    Yes, I did the delete. It was due to the deteriorating condition of the Baja rack. I discovered a major leak coming in from all 4 mounts, ultimately resulting in water entering and running down from the B pillars on back, soaking all of the padding under the carpet. I had to replace it all.

    That being said, the delete is a interim solution until I find and purchase a new one.

    Yep. I hesitated even typing that message for all to read. The passenger side slid in with a breeze, drivers side would not. I then thought it might be a defect in the design of the bulb, so I pulled passenger out and tried the other bulb - slid right in. Tried driver side again, no go. I ended up filing the metal tabs on the bulb down to the point it would go in with no issues. I did notice a small difference in design between H11 and H9, but still shouldn’t have caused me that much grief.

    Thanks. I read your whole story on your Pro. I figured that’s why you have the delete for now. I removed my 2020 Pro rack and sold it. Did not like it no use for it. I have the black rails on mine now. Thinking about switching it over to the delete. I like the clean look.

    Got this super convenient and portable air compressor so that I can air down on my next outing. I didn’t want to do onboard air as it makes little sense to always haul it around when I may need it once every couple of months if I am lucky.

    So after some driving, I was rubbing in reverse on the front liner and bumper. Got that pushed forward and the bumper edge trimmed.

    now however I think I’m having just a touch of rub while going forward and turning- what are my most likely culprits...

    it’s 275/70/17 on TRD pro wheels, I think we need to change them to YELLOW on that famous chart because it seems like 50/50 people getting rub
