| Anyone that had the TPMS, if you have after market wheels, how did you mange it? I don't want the light all the time and I don't want to cut wires either. | |

| I have the light on all the time as well. I have silver 16" TRD rims like yours and didn't want to dismantle them just to get the sensors out. Besides, I always argue the question what did we do before TPMS. The light doesn't bother me at all. I like my current wheel and tire combo well enough that having that little light on just reminds me how cool my FJ looks, lol. | |

| Not sure how similar the FJ is to the Tacoma - but I would think it's near the same. You would just need to identify the TPMS wire if it's different

| Not a bad point as far as the not bothering you part. I like the idea in the link making it with a couple blade connectors. | |

| Some people have made pressurized chambers out of pvc pip/fittings and placed their tpms sensors in that. Place it in the jack storage area and not have to worry about the lights. There are a few threads in the blue room on this. |

| I guess because no one really wants to buy the TT's and I kinda want to keep them, I wont have to worry about the light. Now I need to sell the Mickey Thompson Classic II wheels. | |
