Hey everyone! I went down to Arkansas to tour the Backwoods Adventure Mods manufacturing facility and new warehouse. If you haven't heard of them before, Backwoods makes all sorts of off-road accessories for Toyotas, including the new 4th Gen. I went down there to install their (launching soon) rear bumper and to meet with the team to get a closer look at how they operate and build everything. U.S. manufacturing might be down in some areas, but these guys clearly show it's ramping up in others. Check it out and let me know what you think! https://backwoodsadventuremods.com/collections/toyota-tacoma See their Tacoma page above... A quick shot of the new rear bumper! There's an optional frame cut, which you can see with the missing hitch on my truck on the right. https://backwoodsadventuremods.com/collections/toyota-tacoma/products/toyota-tacoma-4th-gen-2024-rear-bumper

Quick question for those who have wired their Diode Dynamics SS3 ditch lights to the OEM switches. What did you have to do with the harness that Diode Dynamics sent so you could ground the lights to the ground wire in the switch? Am I correct in thinking that I shouldn’t have to make battery connections since the power is already provided through the switch? Also, I don’t need the relay Diode Dynamics provides do I? Thanks in advance.
