What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I used a blank bussman plate from tacomapros for the brain and terminal block which worked out really well.
I need to make a trip down there one of these days. They have a ton of BA stuff on the website. Strategically $ I think I'll avoid going there for at least month though. I need a re-gear and meats so gotta stay focused through the holidays

 

Sorry, I don't know enough about this stuff. I only knew to tap the existing cargo light switch for bed lights because I asked @caribe makaira However, if you are running your own switch, and you want the cargo light and your truck bed light on that same new switch, I recommend getting an on-off-on rocker switch from rockerswitchpros.com, and replacing your factory cargo light switch. IMO, that would be a lot of extra work just to have your own switch. The factory switch is cool enough for me. Plus you can still add other switches for other devices. For that, I recommend studying this thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/wiring-an-aux-fuse-block-relays-and-switches-in-a-2016.401253/

That's very nice! I ended up mounting my sp8100 in the same spot. I dressed it up with some black hex screws. I'd like to flush mount it but my hands aren't steady enough to make the cut out with a dremel lol.

 

What an awesome set up! And I don't blame you on the not wanted to use a dremmel. I was scared just drilling four little holes into the back of my truck for my brakelight bar, lol.

 

Just pry at the top and bottom ends of the blank switch cover with a small flat screw driver and you can get it out. Be careful not t scratch the surrounding area. The tabs that hold the cover in aren't very big or strong so it comes off easily. You may even be able to get it off with your finger nails alone. Otherwise, just take that whole area around the cubby off. There are about 10 tabs holding that plate in and they pry off pretty easily as well. That's how I put a switch in that spot.

 

What lights did you use and how did you do it??

 

Turned out nice! We will be offering a complete replacement OEM panel thats pre-laser cut to fit the flush mount SP8100 for the 3rd gen guys! I should have these up on the website as a bundle shortly. Check out the one we did in my truck.



The also have the SP8100 in blue back lighting now to better match our interiors

 

What website?

 

www.sdhqoffroad.com

shoot me a PM if you want one sooner, I have a few panels on order right now that we will be prepping

 

Damnnn!

 

Very nice! I like the flag on there as well!

 

Thanks! pretty cool what were able to do with our laser

 

I figured you'd chime in!! Thanks for posting. I'll be down there this weekend.

 

Your positive battery terminal is really close to the metal bracket. I have the exact same setup and my bracket made contact with the positive post and nearly burned my truck to the ground. I'd recommend replacing the bracket with a plastic one they sell any car parts store.

 

I think this should work

 

Ordered a tonneau cover, and an intake for the panda this week. K&N makes a new intake called Black hawk or some shit and it's an oiless filter for 279$. Unfortunately it's out of stock so I went with the chrome one, Also got the pre filter sock for the air filter. Anyways I was about to order allpro's apex sliders which are 700$ which was okay but the cheapest shipping (UPS ground) was 187$. At that moment I emptied my cart.

 

Got the kit and harness from @spartanxcustoms
High quality stuff. It came with fuses, relay and switch as well.

 

Had to put it in 4 low just to drive thru a small bit of sand last night. My first gen on km2's used to cruise through this section in 2wd no problem. Turd gen just dug, these stock tires have to GO asap!
