    I dont know anything about those connectors. But when buying connectors it seems theres a lot of copper clad aluminum. Make sure if you have copper clad aluminum to design your system for amps that can handle and not aluminum. I accidentally bought a lot of the aluminum stuff.

    If you have ever purchased online from a Toyota dealer, be on the lookout as they typically do a 25%off sale with free shipping over $50 several times a year (they will email you). That's when I bought my black lugnuts (and windshield wiper refills, oil filters, etc.)

    Yeah 6 lug nuts are $15.++ Plus shipping. Less expensive to either go to local Toyota dealer & pick up or Amazon.

    No problem, I bought numerous stuff from Bam’s over the years but years ago they were great prices thru them. Things have changed so much on pricing.

    I just bought a bunch of brake parts online from my local Toyota dealer.

    When I went in to pick them up, I asked for a couple of additional parts that I forgot. In store, the parts were literally double the price of the online prices.

    When I asked the parts guy what gives, he said he has no idea why there’s such a big discrepancy. His advice was to buy your parts online a few days ahead of when you need them as they can’t fulfill online orders the same day.

    correct you are sir, and thanks. I have to be mindful of copper clad aluminum at work as well, low voltage electrical (AV). Honestly, my off-road lights aren’t like Baja Designs or anything like that. None of the loads are terribly high wattage. I’d be interested to dig deeper, inspecting my harnesses to see what the ratio really is inside the wire
