• Interior Lights "MASTER" Switch

I appreciate feedback from the forum if you've got experience with any of these things. I'm reading as much as I can on this forum trying to gain some knowledge on the 5th gen and what's out there, good and bad.

About the Interior Lights MASTER Switch in my list -
This is something I LOVE that my Sequoia has - there's a switch next to the driver that can allow the driver to force all interior lights ON or OFF. This "Master" switch has 3 positions - (1) ALL ON, (2) Neutral, and (3) ALL OFF. In position 1 or 3, the switch overrides any switch setting that individual interior lights have. For example, if the back (tailgate) dome light is set to "ON" and you switch the master switch by the driver to OFF, it will force the back area dome light off. If a door is ajar and the dome light is set to DOOR so the light is on, you can put the master switch in position 3 and it forces the light off, even though the door is ajar. This switch is great to have if you have kids who turn lights off while you're driving at night and you want them off, or if you're looking for something and want everything on without having to individually touch each light. I don't know how I'm going to do this, but I'll dig into it and figure it out. Maybe someone else on this forum has already done it.

Edit: Found this thread in 4th gen, this is what I'm going for. Will keep digging...

Suspension:
I'm not doing a thing with shocks and springs until I can test out the TRD suspension off road and see how I like it. New suspension with Kings or Icon will set me back [i]at least $3500[/] and that's with a promotional discount. So it's worth it to me to take my time and be smart about this. Around town it's just fine. A little soft on the nose during braking, so maybe stiffer springs on the front coils would be in order. We'll see.

Have some serious detailing to do. Buying this rig private sale and then driving it 2,000 through winter storms to get it home guaranteed that this thing needs a serious full scale detail.

On another note, I stumbled onto @Antman 's thread. Holy moly he has seriously made a ton of contributions to this forum in the way of write ups, etc. Very impressive. Awesome rig too. Still trying to understand all the dildo references.

That was quite a ways back!
