I may be mistaken, but I have a 2nd Start button on near my shifter that allows the vehicle to start from 2nd gear and by pass 1st. If I were to press that, I'm certain it will illuminate a cluster light.

Yup, I was just getting ready to say the same thing. It also turns off every time you turn the ignition off until you hit the button again. Great for accelerating from a stop when the road is icy!
 
Installed an under hood light and also got my AHC spacers in from Japan 4x4. I can't believe how fast they arrived here in Seattle, it was 5 days from the date ordered to the time they arrived at my doorstep. Now I'm waiting on my OBD II interface cable to show up so I can install the spacers and adjust my shocks accordingly.

Cooper 295/70/18s ST Maxx showed up today, going to have them installed tomorrow morning. They will be replacing my 275/65/18 Falken wildpeak at3w's, excellent tire pretty quiet, great road manors, and very good on ice and snow. I was just ready to jump up a couple sizes. I'll post additional pictures tomorrow.

@ktmracer01 What is the main purpose of these spacers?

It raises the lower shock mount higher in the AHC cars so they still have the same amount of downward travel/ droop when lifted. Pretty simple and brilliant product. Definitely gives options to people with AHC that they don't want to mess with removing in order to be capable off road.

Let me know! I'm going to be getting new tires next month and want to go with the same Cooper 295/70/18 ST Maxx's as you. Very curious your feedback

Just a heads up ebay and discount tire have a sale going on $100 off instantly on any purchase over $400. It expires the end of this month. Bought 2 pairs of them to save $200 bucks.

Discount Tire Direct, correct? Is there a code? I need to order 6 so I have 2 spares. This could be HUGE savings for me. Thanks for the heads up.
 
The foam surrounds on the factory JBL door speakers deteriorated, so I replaced them with Morel drivers. I need to modify the tweeter housing to get the tweeters aimed correctly. Right now they're pointed a little to far forward which makes the driver/passenger seats off-axis.

I have to say, the factory 2 ohm JBL drivers are pretty substantial! Massive magnets.

I always wanted to try a set of those, kind of in the same way I want to try a sundowner 6.5
how do they sound?

They sound very nice. Clean and clear with tight bass. I can't compare them to the OEM speakers, unfortunately, since they were gone (surrounds) before I took ownership. All in all, I'm quite pleased with the Morels, though.
 
@ktmracer01 What is the main purpose of these spacers?

exactly what @MongooseGA said. Right now I'm just trying to see what I can do before I pull the trigger on non AHC suspension. Figure this will give me a little time to play and see how capable the AHC is before hand. I highly recommend Dave at Japan 4x4 great guy to work with if you want a set of spacers
 
Sorry this a repost, i unintentionally created a new thread when i realized i wanted to post here.

“Got the KO2’s now, And it almost feels like the first time I bought a pair of Jordans. Lol. Ok joking aside, when I got to discount tire there was a 200 series that pulled up right after me that had a dope alu cab. *drool* Now I must remove these wonderfully used side steps that Toyota has generously provided for us. Oh and also that piece of tree that hitched a ride with me back from Mt Hood. Cheers!
