    You might be able to go up to 5 degrees with 4 degrees built in to the UCA, but I'm not sure when it comes to those specific arms.

    But trimming plastic is pretty easy too.

    I don't think this mod works with SR5's. Could be mistaken, but that's what I seem to remember.

    Pop that blank sensor and see if you have the wire. I have a feeling Toyota might have it across all for easiness of parts instal. If you have the wires you are good. I see ebay have the light sensor for about 8 bucks.

    I was just reading that in another forum :(

    Already ordered it for $6 off AlliXpress so if it doesn't work I'll pass the sensor on to someone that can use it...

    If I'm not mistaken, a lot of SR5 owners still have the wire but when they plug it in, it doesn't work.

    Been a while since I read that thread, so I might be wrong.......but that's what I seem to remember.

    All of them.
    This is a free mod I thought just roll the dimmer up until it clicks. It should change everything but the clock to regular brightness

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.
    It's different. I kinda like it. The only thing that really matters is that you like it though.

    Finally installed one of my showers the other day
    Anyone who has built one, I have a pressure relief valve where the faucet is(left)...no leaks anywhere but where I fill the tank with water/air(right) water bubbles come out(this is a screw in cap)I only go to 20psi
    Do I need to overkill tightening the threaded fill cap? Is there too much water? Does my valve need to be open? My gauge goes down to zero but when I open my valve a lot of air/water is pushed through
    Any ideas?


    took off sliders to clean/paint
    Going from silvergreyish to some sort of black...biting the john wick batman bullet I guess

    Yeah I was contemplating the bigger offset and now I am glad I didn’t go that far out. It would have been way too much for me.

    No, it doesn't look dumb, lots of engineers go to Purdue....

    JK!!!!..., bad as$ engineering program for sure, and an all around great school. Just had to throw it out there, since everyone else missed it. I thought maybe you were a golden domer going green.., but the look is good. Not something you see, and you know it is yours!

    Good stuff! Go Boilermakers!

    Flash flood warning, new tires, gotta get them out there to test how they perform in the rain. Needless to say I couldn’t find any major puddles and didn’t want to be out more than 30 minutes. Good drain system where I am at I guess. So instead I took pictures of the 4Runner out in the rain.
