IanG,

Did you install the Talons Garage catalytic converter anti-theft plate? If yes, how did it work out?

I bought one for my GX and one for my son's 2008 4Runner, we had one nice day where we installed the 4Runner unit and it fit perfectly, very impressed.
We installed the 4Runner first because it is parked on the street in front of his house. Our GX is parked in the garage and it has been too cold to install on my GX. As soon as we get a nice day I will install it and report back with pictures.

Sorry - not on here much. Method MR316 17x8.5 +0 on the same tires as yours. They don't stick out too much.

I completed the "flat screw/washer/zip tie trick" on the front wheel wells ahead of the install to be safe, and everything is working with no rub. Also, my 265/70r17 spare "fit" but I don't have a hitch installed right now.

I appreciate all the help from members along the way.

Default Auxbeam install.

I installed the Auxbeam 8 gang switch panel. So far I only have the top light bar and ARB compressor hooked up. Have 4 of the Baja S-3 pods on the roof rack, rear lights, and a bumper light bar to go for now.

BTW, impressed with the customer service from Bison, ordered on Friday, delivered the following Thursday…..from Poland!
I got mine in the mail today and will install this weekend. Thanks for posting about yours or I wouldn't have known about it. Yeah, they shipped it immediately. $70 bucks from Poland.

I will be installing this later today. It took about 2 weeks from China, but it's finally here. I wish it didn't require me to remove the steering column shroud, but I guess it's good that I'll have my OBDII port free.

Auto-folding mirrors dongle...

Tested out my new solar panels while at the beach yesterday. Managed to keep my portable battery topped up while it was running the fridge, even with it being pretty cloudy.

Does it go on the roof? What is output? Hook to the battery or into cigarette lighter?

If you have power folding 3rd row you can use one of the taps listed here to charge the on-board battery via solar panels. Two 30 AMP circuits feed the 3rd row and live all the time.

it’s a folding 3 panel design, and yes you can throw it on the roof and out of the way. I hung it on the side to take advantage of the angle of the afternoon sun. This panel feeds up to 120w into my 500w Bluetti Ac50s is portable battery. I unfortunately don’t have power 3rd row so can’t take advantage of that power source.
