What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

installed my bedcage over the weekend. Still have a little more work like paint etc.

 

What did you use?

 

Oracal 8300 Dark Smoke wrapping vinyl.

 

Damn....I coulda used them years ago before my first marriage.....

 

Just installed a 3in toytec/bilstein lift, new rims and tires!

 

Good eyes!

If only it were that easy.

 

Truth......

 

Looks great. That's the first tire carrier set up that I've seen that looks like you can still see out of the rear view mirror. Question though, what about your back up camera? Do they offer any kind of relocation for it?

 

Is Dicks having a sale on kayak's? I have had my eyes on a field and stream.

 

Back up camera is pretty much useless now. I see the back side of my spare. Body Armor does not offer a relocation kit. I am still trying to figure out what to do with it. I miss my back up camera already.

some good reading here. ..

 

That looks good but since the tire sits lower on the body armor bumper it looks like the camera would still be blocked.

 

I hung out with some of my T4R buddies last night...

 

How would a system like this compare to something more well-known (at least to me) like the ARB system? I would never have thought to shop around simply because I have seen the ARB system used so often..

I would really love to see some more detailed photos of this setup. That looks badass!

With the wiring like that, how do you fuse each individual accessory? Would you put it in-line to the fuse panel after the switch? I always thought they were supposed to be fused before going to the switch(es), but I don't know much about wiring...

 

Yes 200 dollars off depends on the kayak though

 

I have been thinking about this for a while now, here is the best solution I could come up with. Time for some cutting, take off your bumper and cut a "slit" centered on the bottom of the bumper it would be best to do the right or left of your hitch. you can there drop in some steel (don't forget to attach to the bumper) bent in a 90 degree that can be drilled for the camera of your liking. If that is not preferred just make a hole on the bottom of the bumper to add the camera right above the hitch, you will have room here unless you are running 37's...

 

Mine is similar... I have a small fuse before the power wire that goes into the switches, then the switches are jumpered together. The output from each switch is just used to signal a relay. The actual power wire for each accessory comes from my blue sea fuse block (with a fuse of course). Sooo, the power into the switches that is all jumpered is only used for control and doesn't power anything. Keeps the current on your side of the firewall to a minimum that way.
