DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

I def want my chimes off!

I have to run to grapevine sat morn to get those glass fenders. im free after that if you want to try and get sliders on sat morning and need help.

 

My chimes are already done, but what else can you tinker with?

 

Well today isn't going as planned. Looks like I'll be waiting to install my bumper for a while. Bumper is ready to go but ran into some winch issues which I am working to figure out/resolve with Smittybilt. I've already spoken with them and will hopefully know more in the near future. I'll provide more details once I get it all worked out.

Yes please turn my chimes off. I dont want to deal with the dealer to get this done.

 

Unfortunately that's about it on second gens. I think Techstream also allows me to switch the TPMS codes and do the zero point calibration but I've never messed with either of those.
My friends 2014 Tundra allowed me to do all kinds of stuff. I could run diagnostics on his parking sensors and also change door lock stuff and turn off DRL's.

 

Damn. I was hoping to make the doors lock when I switch to drive.

 

I specifically looked for that option but wasn't available on my 2015. It was there for the Tundra, though.

 

And Rav4, and carolla.

 

I might take you up on the offer if the weather holds off. I'm close to Grapevine anyway so we can have a pre-meet before the meet, if nothing else.

 

I'd do a CB, got a buddy (former Taco owner, now he drives a Miata, don't ask why), but I'm in and out of a parking garage and my garage at the house every day. Don't want to deal with the antenna hitting the roof beams (or as he did, reach out the window and pull the antenna back every morning and afternoon).

 

Quick disconnect or one of the folding mounts is easy

 

Can anyone solder my antenna cable for me?? I dont have a soldering gun. If i buy one it will be a good one and im trying to buy other stuff right now....

 

I have a Radio Shack soldering gun you could use. I had to lengthen the engine harness on my Supra and soldered about 50 wires. I'm not the greatest, but my car still runs afterward. My CB cable had a screw on end, so not sure what needs to be soldered on the one you got. We can try?

 

I can bring my soldering iron to the meet.

 

I can use them, if you don't need them. Are you going to to meet on Saturday?

 

So talking to Danger Close Off Road, the told me some details on their bed racks. It would be like buying the basic All-Pro rack... no tabs, no paint, no frills. He can add those things but the price will go up depending on what you want. IE: light tabs, quick fist mounts, rotopax mounts, etc.

They are also working on getting a new design for some rock sliders. Price and pictures coming when the design is done! Hopefully i will get he first set!

 

do we have a way of powering it so we can just solder it at the meet?? Maybe someones bed outlet??

 

I have a bed outlet that could be used if its powerfull enough. The butane soldering irons are really cool! I've been thinking/planning on buying one sometime.

 

It's butane.

 

how do I get out of visiting my inlaws and going to the meet up? All suggestions welcome

 

Bring them to the brewery.
