    Even if he didn't, it can't stay dark forever. I'm staying tuned for your review.

    Still have a bunch of finishing to do (yes, those drawer fronts are hideous and will get replaced) but the seat delete is complete for a full length platform.

    I tested it earlier and it works. I turned the lights on and the radio gave me the black screen, because it thought it was night time. Then I pointed a flash light at the sensor to simulate sunlight and it changed to a bright white screen.

    It was a simple plug-n-play mode that took all of 2 minutes to install. The dummy sensor plug pops off kind of easy and the new one pops right in and...well, that's it.

    One more question - when you turn on the headlights in daylight, will the screen stay light? If so, then I'm all in.

    Yes. That is exactly what it does, and exactly why I bought it/installed it. My sensor works just like this guys sensor:

    The 4R ALL AUTO windows feature is underrated and seldom mentioned eh, they didn't skimp on the legendary rear window too.
    Am I alone really appreciating the fancy one touch ability? (regardless of its flaws) - for a guy used to zero power windows locks or doors on my only other two vehicles (don't laugh!)

    I feel like you would have been done derusting the ride a while back if you took less pics.

    Right there with you, it's great except for the six switches in three locations part.

    Debaged and painted black the tailgate garnish. On the fence on buying a black one, so just did it myself before surrendering the $$$.

    Spent yesterday I installed a carbon fiber steering wheel. Found mine on the KTJO4x4 website. It's already discounted $100. Then tacked on 15% more due being a first responder.

    Not gonna lie, it scared the hell outta me taking that part of the truck apart due to the clock spring. But after watching crap ton of videos on doing this, gave it a shot, and I think it came out real well. The red stitching and handle compliment the black/red theme I have going.

    Thanks! It is very intimidating to look at. As with any install, took my time. Getting the steering to unseat took a bit of "coaxing." Something I saw in a couple of vid was putting duct tape on the clock spring so it doesn't rotate any when putting the steering wheel back on. I did that. Once I got it seat back on, tightened them bolts back down, and rest you see.

    A few more odds and ends to tie up but finished the base for the sleeping platform just in time for this weekend. Rain in the forecast but that's what car camping is for ‍:bananadance:

    The base with the stickers will be a slide out on the left hand side under the platform for BRCC in the mornings and whiskey at night.

    I installed the KTJO phone mount. I like that it just clips on and feels pretty secure, although I may not use it a lot, since most of my phone needs are addressed by either Bluetooth connection or Android Auto.

    I also put beefier double-sided tape on these things, since their original tape wasn't holding well in the cooler fall weather. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09DVTJVFV?ie=UTF8
    I used the clear, thick Gorilla tape instead.

    LED DRL conversion project last night!
    Basically a visual or aesthetic upgrade that I wanted to do.
    Used Diode Dynamics 9005 HP48 LED bulbs (about 210 lumens/bulb per the website) so as not to blind others.
    Got a wiring T-Harness from FBC that is a PNP solution to get the correct wiring/voltage to the bulbs.
    Super happy with the results and it looks OEM in my opinion!

    I know the gloss is unpopular, but for $20 on alibaba it covers the silver edges peeking through the matte panels on the sides and looks kinda nice. As long as no one touches it.

    When I had a Gen 3 Tacoma, I bought a "delete in reverse" (DIR) from these guys. Did exactly as it was meant too.

    Thanks man. That's a switch I installed to control some grill lights I made. Although I don't really ever turn them on, it was a fun project at least. Made it out of some of those LED strip lights and some aluminum angle iron that I pie cut and bent to the shape of the grill. Never got a really good picture of them but here's a crappy one, lol:

    My year 4R has LED hi/lo beams but uses a halogen bulb for the DRL as the OEM setup. This 9005 bulb is often used as a bright beam bulb in other applications but that would be too harsh on other oncoming drivers during the day. So, Toyota reduces the voltage to the DRL's so they are essentially running at half power (6volts instead of the normal 12volts).
    Halogen bulbs will run ok at 6volts, but LEDs will not. So if someone doesn't want yellowish lights for DRLs, it has not been an easy option to just replace the yellowish halogen bulbs with the crisper and more "modern" white light of LEDs.
    This simple wiring harness allows you to use LED's in place of the halogen bulbs by changing the voltage supplied from 6volts to 12volts. That's all the harness does.
    The selection of LED bulb such as the Diode Dynamics HP48 bulb is important because it is a "low power" bulb. It emits the clean "white" light of an LED but not in a blinding amount of power.
    So, really it is a 2-step process to "do it right". One, install the harness to get the voltage correction. And two, select an LED bulb that is acceptable for a DRL application.
    The purpose of this mod is basically for appearance purposes only.
    Some may not find the value in it, but I'm sure others will - like me!!!
