Right now its just placed in there. It doesn't move at all and I haven't heard it making any noise. I figure the first time I go offroad with it I will determine if I need to anchor it down.
What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Jammed a Chinese light bar behind the grill today.

How did you mounted it: brackets, etc?
Just got home from the shop with my new Victory 4x4 Blitz Sliders installed and all the lights wired up. I really like that the lights are somewhat practical rock lights that illuminate the wheels so I can see what's going on at night. The sliders look awesome and are great peace-of-mind for off-road. I even have 4 new hi-jack points I can use! I placed the switch - thanks Rago - in the center console so I could access the lights from either side of the truck. I'll post some daytime photos tomorrow that show the sliders better, and will also show my new Victory Molle panel and roof crossbars with accessories.
I installed my Blitz sliders myself, but haven't gotten around to wiring the lights yet. I like the idea of the button in the center console. Do you know how the shop did the wiring?
Since we are talking about grill lights here some more.
I scored a"socaltrail" behind the grill custom plate from another member, ( Thanks Mike)
And installed two Rigid Floods. This will eliminate the marker lights seen in the photo,
Also the fogs have been in for awhile they are Rigid spots with yellow covers.
Haven't had the floods out at night yet but the fogs worked great.
I will post photos later in the "behind the grill lights" thread.

After I called the dealership about my 19 trd off road, I played with the settings looking to change the door lock settings. I can't find it anywhere. I don't have a vehicle icon in the settings screen. I also tried doing the remote window roll down thing. Failed at them all. The dealership said that those features are only available on the limited packages. I'm not sure if I want to try the carista route, because of their subscription fees. Anyone have any suggestions?

Pics will be up this weekend when I'm done my other projects but so far this week I pulled off the front and rear bumper fascia to remove the old PlastiDip and recovered in Rustoleum Truck Bed Liner. Which so far is a major improvement in looks and hopefully more durable.
Removed the factory rear tie-down in preperation for my [MENTION=130999]Inv4drZm[/MENTION] recovery point.
Finally got around to removing my factory running boards so they don't slow me down in the sand this summer.
Ordered my [MENTION=125603]bandi[/MENTION] Mount and ARB Twin Compressor
Ordered some Vinyl for the hood to kill the glare

Later this week:
Oil Change, Shrockworks dual battery and smog relocation install, recovery point paint and install, compressor prep, vinyl wrap hood, maybe vinyl wrap roof rack, and a trip to OBX to break in the wife's new Taco.

I know they used the radio circuit for the power, but that's about it. Sorry I can't be more helpful. It didn't sound a lot more complicated than mounting it to the left of the steering wheel.

I started towing my track car last year. It really does well. Just installed firestone bags for the rear and I have no sag when towing anymre. Totally worth the $100

Yes I think it's obviously better than stock but my wife says she can't tell a difference except for the nose dive. I have had them on my Tacoma for a year now and they are so awesome.

All of those features are available on yours, not just the LE. Obviously your dealer is clueless or just doesn't want to fool with it. You will need the Carista or a techstream to access the features though. My dealer configured mine for me while I was in for an oil change a while back and didn't charge anything.

Yea all the models have those features, I used the Carista on my SR5 and it had a ton of options.
Including the window roll down with keyfob (you cant roll them up though)
Carista gives you one free month, get all your settings done the way you want them and then just cancel your subscription before it renews.
You dont need the subscription, or the unit plugged in, the settings will stay.

Good stuff to have, I got stuck real good, was in a snow track about 10 inches deep with knee deep snow on the sides. Got out of the track and got high centered all the way from front to back. Had a built Jeep pull me out.
My son said I was going too fast, I told him to shut up and help dig.

Drove my Jeep into a snow drift packed ditch trying to get a good pic on Valentine's Day after 1.5ft of snow. Dug for 30 min with my snowboard as a shovel before I remembered I had a winch. :lol:
When I hit the ditch I had snow coming up over my hood the same way you would hit water. Wife wasnt impressed at all.
