I've got the same thing going on (light bar, third brake light on the camper, etc...). It should be fine as long as the overall load isn't over the circuit capacity and doesn't blow fuses.
Easiest way to do it is to use a splitter like this. 30 seconds to unplug the trailer wiring and pop the connector in and then use the four pin for your accessory lighting. Add a harness like this and everything is plug and play w/o cutting any wires.
I'm using the little metal bracket that (I think) came with the camera so the magnet is all I need. You could certainly use double sided tape and stick a magnet to the camera. That would probably work better actually since the camera moves a bit sometimes but it works well enough for me as is...
This might seem overly simplistic and not very elegant but it works great for me and my needs. I slapped a magnet on my camera and move it around to meet whatever configuration I'm running. For example, right now my bike rack is on the truck so I've moved the camera to the rack. If I don't...
I have the 8" screen and it works just fine. I really wanted the 14" display but only if it came as part of the premium package and Tacomas with the premium package were built of unobtanium when I was buying (early 2024). The real benefit comes when paired with the surround cameras, which only...
Yup. I have a Harbor Freight rifle case up there with my recovery gear in it (got some questions going into Canada...lol). I will say that it comes without any instructions and is a bit fiddly to build, but there is at least one decent youtube video that helps. Once it's installed it's stout...
Method MR705 with 285/70 17 KO3's. I don't want to go any larger. Fuel economy is bad enough as it is. Suspension is Ironman 3.5" Foam Cell Pro. I need to drop the front end an inch but overall I'm very happy with the set up.
I have a thread somewhere about the tailgate lip. I think Super...
Is it possible to mount rails on the top of the topper?
I couldn't find a closer pic but if you zoom in you can see I've got recovery boards, my antenna for the cell booster, and a Starlink Mini all mounted on the roof.
You should give it another shot. RainX works fantastic. The key is how you apply it.
-Clean the window with a good glass cleaner.
-Wipe on RainX, let it haze and then apply another coat or two.
-Here's the key. Let the RainX haze again and then hose the glass off w/water and wipe it dry with...
That's a lot of food for two guys. Let me know next time and I'll be there for dinner! 🤣
Great video. I think the audio levels are just fine. Certainly better than a lot of what's on YouTube.
I'm curious how the coilover broke. It didn't appear that you were doing anything remotely extreme.
Socotaco (and everyone else) might have a different answer but in general you wouldn't use the compressor to air down. Tire deflators like this are an easy way to do it. They can be a bit fiddly to set up but once you get them dialed in (at home!) then it's as easy as walking around the truck...
No. I'm sure the Ecoflow charger works just fine but the ports are proprietary and only work with Ecoflow products. I didn't want to be locked in their ecosystem so I ended up going with ETaker. It just has posts for the output so you can attach any cable you like to it. I have the ETaker...
That looks like a worthwhile road trip! I plan on doing both the Oregon and Washington BDR's at some point but don't think I'll have time this year with everything else I've planned.
Yeah, that was my post and my truck. :wink: Eastsound is a town on Orcas Island in the San Juan's. It's a gorgeous place well worth exploring, as are all the San Juan Islands!
Thanks for the kind words.
I should buy the ARB hose connector. I've looked at them but just haven't pulled the trigger. Mine requires two hand, which isn't a big deal to me, but after a few minutes the air chuck does get quite warm and it looks like the ARB has rubber on it to insulate it...
Lots of good ideas. I like the organizer where the seat back used to be. Gives me something to research!
Raingler Nets (based in the San Juan Islands) makes fantastic storage and barrier nets hand made specifically for the Tacoma. I took my truck over a couple of years ago and they used it...
I basically followed the Goose Gear method for the mounting studs. I drilled out the holes where the push pins were and installed rivnuts and then cut pieces of 1/2" pvc pipe to achieve the stand-off I wanted and bought the appropriate sized hex-head (M6x135mm in my case) bolts to go through to...
