It also comes with this awesome viewer computer application. (stolen from Google)

 

Oh hey! I got the same Rexing. Here is a question. Do you have the GPS module? Sometimes mine takes 5 or so minutes before it detects the GPS signal

 

I do have the GPS module but haven't had any signal issues as of yet. I have mine stuck to the inside of the roof above the overhead display. I get signal in my garage also. Maybe a deficient GPS antenna? I would try an exchange for a new one.

 

I'm straight up I-26 about 5 1/2 hours away in Hendersonville. I wasn't at URE either.

 

Getting new tires. No more rugged fails.

 

Stock size for now. Grabber AT2. May not be my forever tire but got 4 for the price of 2 so I'm pretty happy. Four installed for $270.

 

Washed Waxed and detailed her, inside and out. Might have to make a trip to the mall this weekend.

 

These things should come with those seats. Just like that.

 

LOVE my general grabbers. Couldn't be happier with them!

 

And while I was at it cleaned the engine too

 

yeah, one of the top two mods I've done. Hard to choose between that and the power rear window (which I use all the time!) Heated seats though in the winter, man that's about as good as it gets.

 

Hey, is that my former mirror?? Nice camera setup!

 

Heated seats make me have to poop.

 

Any time mang

 

How did you rig yours? I saw a thread on here where a member used to sell kits, but stopped selling them. Did you just copy his design or design something yourself?

 

basically copied his design. I used a cheap regulator from an impala and re-cabled it with some bicycle derailleur cables. I used derailleur housing and made some stops out of some lexan blocks to handle the cable. I used this $10 switch http://www.gamainc.com/site/epage/130254_941.htm
and then had a local machinist make up the bracket needed for attaching the cables to the window. I posted some pics in this thread here, pm me if you want some help. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...gen-tacoma-today.6499/page-4343#post-12273137

 

@02YotaGuy how did Derping the whole truck go for you?

 

Wow. That's cheaper than one of my tires.

 

@Cativelense can you suply me with a link as im having trouble locating it

 

It sure is haha and thank you, I appreciate it!
