Finally installed and wired up my aux reverse light
I picked up one of those cheap ($13.99 on Amazon) 6x LED aux work light in a flood pattern to provide some additional backup lighting, and for whenever I might need additional light to the rear of the vehicle.
I wired the light via a relay directly connected to the battery, and wired in a switch that I connected to the tail/dash light fuse. As long as the parking / tail lamps are switched on, I can turn on the aux light. I decided not to wire it into the reverse light circuit, as I don't want the light coming on unless I absolutely need it.
I mounted the switch in a very discreet location - in the opening below the hood release. I did this for a few reasons:
1) it was very easy to run the wires to this spot
2) the switch light is bright, and since it illuminates with the dash lamps, I didn't want it causing a distraction by keeping it too close to the dash
3) I will eventually buy one of the switches meant to fit in the blank next to the diff lock switch, so I wanted a location that didn't require me to cut anything out or drill any holes for a switch mount. (I used strong double-sided tape to mount it into the location below the hood release).

Girlfriend has to study for a nursing final today so I grabbed the dogs and went up to play in some snow. Took it easy and only drove some simple trails and powerline trails. Had a good time! :lookout:

Played around with my photo editor for the first time when I got home too :becky:

This is how she sits now. BFD rims with P265/60r18 Michelin Defender LTX tires. Still has the ICON front coilovers with a new set of factory springs in the back. I'm thinking about selling my rear ICON shocks to buy a set of 5100s since they are a little too long. Love how she handles and the acceleration I lost when I lifted her!!
So is it the same scoop as on the gen2 Tacoma or 4th gen 4runner? Seem to be those are the only references in writeups.

Thanks! I have been looking for about 8 months for one I wanted to buy. It is alot higher miles, but you would not know it when you drive it. Literally the little older lady owned.
My car says Merry Christmas, does that offend you?
No, Merry Christmas!
