Careful doing this procedure! Good tutorial here, not downing that. Nothing anywhere warns you, but removing and reinstalling the front clip or front windshield could cause the adaptive cruise control to get out of sync. My truck is at the dealer right now getting it calibrated to work again. Not covered under warranty! Normal time for this procedure is 4.5 hours (est. at $850). They cut me a break because I was a bit pissed off and are doing it for $300. Still, a $100 light bar is costing me close to $500...
Very nice looking light. It’s functional, specially out in the wilderness. Just what I was looking for. Couple of questions: Do you need to adjust light direction so it won’t be too high up or too low down? A side question if you don’t mind. How did you change the grill and mirror colors on this Tundra, was it spray on or you took them off and paint them?
I would like to see a video of this similar setup but on a 2024 Tundra Limited Hybrid TRD Crewmax. The battery isn't in the engine compartment. It's under the rear passenger driver side seat. I installed the wiring power to the fuse box on the driverside engine compartment with a fuse insertion pigtail which works very well in a vacant slot. All wiring harness came from the light bar location to the right(driver) side. Much easier that way on the 2024 hybrid Tundra. Thanks in advance if you do a video with this kind.
Thank you for a great install video! Especially on the M8 bolt for the relay! Note: on some Tundras there is a third bracket tab that takes up the spot where the video shows the temp sensor being mounted. I just zip tied it nearby.
I do have a question. The bracket you have for the light bar you added to the bumper. I didn't have that in my kit I bought which isn't the brand you have. Can I get those bracket's separately? If so, where can I get them? Thanks for this video. Very informative.
Diode sells the brackets separately but they may not work with a light bar that is not from Diode. www.diodedynamics.com/stealth-bumper-lightbar-kit-for-2022-2023-toyota-tundra.html
What is that bumper mounted temperature sensor for? Is that just for ambient temperature - to see what the outside temp is? If that’s the case then moving slightly doesn’t seem like a big deal but if it’s for any functional systems then that seems a bit sketch.
Thanks guys! I am ordering both light bar kits for my trd pro this will save my bacon. What size gage is the the switch wiretap you used? I have 3 dummy switches and would like to know if you possibly pull power for 2 switches off one wire?
One last question I ordered cali raised oem style squared switches the diode dynamics wire harness is yellow blue red. How do I wire up the cali switch to turn on and off with no back lights there is no instructions
Here is the link for the switch. You would want the square switch for the Tundra yotaxpedition.com/products/oem-style-switch-led-light-bar?variant=44205170884844
I have a problem with my tundra and wondering if anyone else has contacted you about it. When it snows, the radar sensor up front gets caked on with snow/slush. it then turns off the sensor which is supposed to help with accident prevention. Snow=higher chance for accidents. Do you have a fix for this? Can you let Toyota know this? it would be a great After Market product/chance to manufacture a unique fix...thanks

Good to know this,Thanks for sharing he heads-up man.
Thank you.....cars and trucks are very sensitive now a days. Last truck.put AFE filter and light bar last truck . Nothing but problems
It’d sure be nice if @YotaXpedition would respond to this question. 😬

I’m sure if it’s been done yet. But could you do a video on installing a TRD Pro Grill to and LIMTED TUNDRA (No TRD)?
very impressive, you make that look easy.
Thank you for a great install video!
Especially on the M8 bolt for the relay!
Note: on some Tundras there is a third bracket tab that takes up the spot where the video shows the temp sensor being mounted. I just zip tied it nearby.
Glad we could help you out!

As far as I know, It's just for the outside temp.
Now how do you run the wiring if you have man hands?
Thanks guys! I am ordering both light bar kits for my trd pro this will save my bacon. What size gage is the the switch wiretap you used? I have 3 dummy switches and would like to know if you possibly pull power for 2 switches off one wire?
Yes! We wired in another switch for the trd pro grille light bar and I tapped it in to the same wire to light up the switch. It was a 18-22g wire tap.
One last question I ordered cali raised oem style squared switches the diode dynamics wire harness is yellow blue red. How do I wire up the cali switch to turn on and off with no back lights there is no instructions
Do you think a 20 inch led bar would fit better? Looks like there was a small gap or maybe it was just the camera angle.
The brackets are made to use the 18" light bar. You wouldn't be able to open the brackets far enough for a 20"
Is the factory-style switch included with the wiring kit? If not, where can I locate it on your website?
Here is the link for the switch. You would want the square switch for the Tundra yotaxpedition.com/products/oem-style-switch-led-light-bar?variant=44205170884844
@@yotaxpedition thank you !
How or where do I install more than on relays?

Maybe you can ceramic coat the sensor to prevent snow from sticking to it easily.
would a ceramic coat interfere with the radar capability?
