Upon doing a few digging online, a long phone call with Chris from Toyota and some help from a trusted friend. The door pin switch which works with the dome light, that communicate with BCM is apart of the door latch itself. My 4th Tacoma came with no bed light, so I’ve been trying to find a clean solution same as OEM. There is a purple wire that grounds the latch switch that tells the dome light to come on when it’s open.. if you connect led to a constant power and negative to purple wire to a tailgate pin switch. Lights works as a dome light..

Check it out. Got some photos from Dirt King from their test runs in the desert on their new 2.5 coilovers and shocks they're going to release soon. The kit includes rear springs that are developed alongside the rear shocks for the best performance. The truck is also running their other prototypes for rear links, billet UCAs and their signature lowers. This is basically an example of the best you can do with mid-travel bolt-on components.

A few images below with the truck air born and bottoming out. The owner/president said once properly equipped, the 4G platform has some seriously good potential.

I ran DK's suspension on my 3G build for 4 years. Everything was top notch. They have a killer reputation.

If you want to win a set of these, check out their ongoing giveaway! Two full suspensions with UCAs up for grabs.
